Vueling flyttet flyvningene fra Tirsdag-Lørdag til Lørdag-Tirsdag. De sendte en mail men den lå i søppelpost. Så onsdagen kom fant jeg plutselig ut at jeg hadde fly og hotell på på forskjellige dager. Da var det ifølge kundeservice for sent å endre billetten..
Lousy, almost none-existing service offerings at CDG terminal 3. Only one place to buy any food, coffee etc, and it was out of food in the morning hours. Only bus transport to the planes.
Delayed flight departure communicated a little in advance (at least wasn't after departure time), although message sent in app around 11:30 that flight was ready for boarding, which it clearly wasn't as incoming passengers were still disembarking. Disembarking still hadn't finished by 11:40 when we should supposedly board (under the delayed time). Boarding eventually around 11:50-11:55. Never heard any reason for the delay, which is perhaps no worse than the usual tripe that the late departure was due to the late arriving plane. Pushback was regardless not too far behind the revised time - around 12:15, compared to 12:10 advice. Not entirely surprising with a late arrival, gate was reassigned, but we're then basically abandoned on the tarmac and parking bay - seems someone forgot that passengers need somehow other than the emergency slides to get off the plane; all having to ultimately depart via the rear door. Proof, well, that flying in the "pointy end" of the plane doesn't get you to your desination any quicker. Good (for me), but a little surprising from past travels, that the crew seemed to just go straight to English speaking to passengers instead of using German. Perhaps on a short flight, that is just quicker and easier. All good with the food, and in contrast to the connecting flight I had into CPH, could actually be considered a meal; despite not knowing exactly what it was. The chocolate mousse thing for the dessert went down very nicely. Crew polite and service oriented; although did put the napkin for my second orange juice down upside down (the logo was face down).
