The wifi on this flight was not good. When I tried to connect, it didn't work. It only worked at the end of the journey. It was very expensive compared to other flights I have been on. One good thing about this flight was the toilets. They were hygienic and there was soap. Price performance and punctuality were okay. I would give this flight four out of five stars despite the wifi.
