PunctualityThis flight was one of the best I've had. I was greeted at boarding, even when I got on the plane. The wifi was free on the flight. The comfort was great. I was offered drinks and food. I took a few nuts, which were also free. Price performance was very good for Asian prices. Only the punctuality of the flight was a little late. I would still give this flight 5 out of 5 stars.
