Other: The flight was back in 2007, from Krasnoyarsk to polar Norilsk, by the now-defunct Krasnoyarsk regional airline Sibaviatrans SIAT. Which went bankrupt a year later in 2008, along with its alliance partners KRAS AIR and Domodedovo Airlines. Very shabby for that time, in modern style. It's not enough even for 2.5 hours of flight. In his early days, SIAT still fed quite well, even well, consistently worsening his diet until his bankruptcy. I remember in July 1999, I flew SIAT on AN An-24 to Irkutsk and back. 2 hours and 20 minutes of flight. Of course, it's stupid to count on hot meals in the An-24, but they gave us a full tray of various snacks. Sliced vegetables, sausages, ham, cheese, sprats, buns, chocolate, jam and other small things. You won't overeat, of course, but there was a feeling of fullness and satisfaction. And in the last years of SIAT's existence, the flight attendant would bring a tray where she would find some lonely candy or cookie in a pile of plastic and paper. So it is here, there are more plastic and napkins than food. By the way, it was a funny moment. A flight attendant was walking through the cabin carrying apples, which were piled on a tray in a pyramid. At one point, she stumbled and almost fell into the aisle with the tray, I was 100% sure she would fall. But she demonstrated the wonders of balancing and somehow resisted herself and saved the tray without dropping a single apple! =)
