Flying from: LGW to Alicante, 10 June 2003, ZB728 B757
Ticket price: GBP54.00
Flight duration: 2h20
Meal: Dinner
Drink: Free being a schedule flight
Comments: We were served a drink first with a snack (pic 1) Dinner consisted of a salad that included mangos and the cod mornay was very tasty. The wine let itself down being "del tiempo" (room temperature) and was a vino de la mesa to boot. Biggest drawback was seating pitch which was definately Charter (I guess at 29 inches).
Rating: But when all said and done, not bad at all, so, 8
