The man who served food was very helpful & friendly. Later a woman was not so friendly & was not welcoming.

I enjoyed the food and beverage service and them being on time. I didn’t like the old fashioned microphone info instead of a sign that says which station is near.

I thought it was lagging behind compared to its counterparts in Europe and Asia. It is quite a service regardless of its age and advancements in technology.
