FA's have it easier nowadays?

CHIVILCOY I can answer your Cairo question. Conclusively since I do it regularly.

Cairo is an intercontinental destination for KLM, so the crew do not do a back & forth. They get off in Cairo, sleep a shortish night, hang about during the day, try to sleep from 1900 hrs until calling time at 2330 hours.
A 4,5 hour flight with little time difference is easypeasy. No problem that there's no meal breaks and no rest time, it after all only a 7 and a half/8 hour workday.
So even if we're busy with the service the whole flight, and even if ground people would consider a shift like that as normal length, we consider it an absolute doddle.

It's all in the comparative perspective isn't it?

Good to hear you were pleased with service BTW.
