Sep 2003
Ticket price: £330 return
Flight duration: 1h 20m
Aircraft type & class: Dornier 328, Business.
Meal: Breakfast
Scottish Breakfast including sausage, bacon, plum tomato, haggis, hash
brown, brown sauce (there was a selection of sauces). Banana yoghurt.
Roll (selection), marmalade and butter. Hard mints.
Drink: Apple juice, Tea.
Comments: Food tasted good, especially the hot
breakfast, although it might not look that appetising. Roll was fresh.
Impressive for such a tiny plane. I very nearly successfully controlled
the Yoghurt from exploding on me, but I was left with a small mark on
my shirt. Service was excellent too: one of the FA's knew every one of
the thrity passengers name without a cheat sheet. As she welcomed each
person aboard and glanced their boarding cards, she must have registered
something about them which allowed her to remember their name. It's a
skill I'm envious of! Flight was full on this occasion. On a half-empty
flight, don't try moving seats, though. They allocate seats on the plane
from the back, and push you all down to the far end of the plane no matter
how empty it's going to be. Something to do with the aircraft trim apparently.
If you try moving seats with or without permission and you will wish you
never did.... FA's get particularly outraged about this. I've seen many
passengers patronised by a ScotAir FA like a pre-school child for even
thinking about asking to move. I've been at the sharp end myself - it
doesn't make your day.
