Everything went well
A very good service
Southampton is a great Airport, small and compact unlike Schipol
Expensive considering they were not direct flights. Also annoyed I paid for the upgrade when other passengers were allowed to sit in upgraded empty seats. Not fair to those who paid.
Checking in was smooth & efficient but a long walk to the aircraft
usually travel business class but this was adequate.
dropping bags with automation was easy and customer friendly.
Generally good. No issues. Headphones for the inflight entertainment was poor including the sound quality.
Inconvenient to have to spend the night in Amsterdam, otherwise a good flight.
Flight was fine. I was changing planes in Amsterdam, and found that the passport controls (required to change to one of the other terminals) were slow. The new gates were not in use, and so the queues were rather long.
Too expensive for the journey
ras
One flight was by Ukraine International (codeshare with KLM) but this operator charges for diners and food - this was not made clear
