We flew with First Choice again... more

We flew to MAle on the 4th October with First Choice/Thomsonfly.The night flight was 10hrs, but the cabin crew in Premier were all very noisy making it hard for anyone near the galley to get any sleep. The inflight meal,prepared by Aldo Zilli is not great but if you are hungry enough then it makes do!. The Cabin Crew handed... more
