on a positive note
just returned from Orlando on XLA on one of the TCD 743's,
a couple of things of note were
1. Outbound was ON TIME ..... return flight was 1 hr 25 mins late with a full explanation that the flight before had a medical diversion hence the delay ( that was fine ) felt sorry for the Manchester flight return delay 24 hrs...
2. Cabin Crew on our sector was excellent on the return journey compared with the outbound, who was somewhat it seems, suffering after effects from the night before and was mostly missing throughout flight.
3. In Flight entertainment via TV screen on the outward flight could not be seen due to seating config rows 34 & 35 (TF-AMJ). Return journey (TF-AMK) could see the screen but no sound due to night flight the main cabin sound was turned off & the headsets was not working for anyone during the flight.
4. Cabin on AMJ compared to AMK looked a bit dirty, but seating was comfortable enough. AMK was ok too apart from the seat back being broken and kept reclining ( was quite a feeling on take off, the guy behind was not to happy though and managed to get a spare seat elsewhere fortunetly ).
Overall we all had a faster more comfortable flight that prevoius similar flights,
that includes FCA 767 Star Class Premier.
Thanks to the Flight Crew for the informative and smooth flight and landings
Thanks to the Cabin Crew esp on return journey for being helpful, cheery and down to earth.
