Advantages
Check-inPersonnelSeatsDisadvantages
noneCheck-in in Barcelona went without a hitch. I was at the airport quite early, so everything went quickly and smoothly. The staff were friendly and helpful. The security check was standard and not particularly long.
First part of the flight - Barcelona to Frankfurt:
The flight to Frankfurt was pleasant. The Airbus was modern and clean. The staff were very nice.
The seats were also relatively comfortable.
The flight from Frankfurt to Istanbul was the longer part of the journey and very pleasant. The aircraft was also modern and the cabin crew were friendly and attentive. There was a hot meal, which was fine for the time of the flight - nothing extraordinary, but quite acceptable.

noneFirst of all, check-in in Barcelona was smooth. The staff at the counter were friendly and helpful, and although the airport was quite busy, everything went quickly and efficiently. The flight from Barcelona to Frankfurt was on time and the seat comfort was perfectly fine for the short distance. The flight attendants were professional and made the service pleasant.
The second flight from Frankfurt to Istanbul went just as smoothly. Again, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the flight was very quiet. The entertainment system was good and the selection of films and music was sufficient to pass the time until Istanbul.
