Entertainment programmeI spent my holiday last year visiting and exploring various places in Spain. The flight from Madrid to Malaga was very nice. I ordered breakfast from the flight attendants. This consisted of a coffee, two rolls and a fresh orange juice. Everything was very tasty and the price on the menu was reasonable. It was quite hygienic and I had a comfortable seat.
Advantages
Fast processPriceDisadvantages
CleanlinessThe price of the flight ticket was quite reasonable. Check-in was completed within 40 minutes and everything went relatively quickly. I have to mention that the airport in Madrid wasn't particularly clean. But on the plane it was comfortable, clean and I had enough legroom. The flight attendants were very friendly and courteous. I think a recommendation is very appropriate. 4 stars.
