The VIP seats were great. Comfortable with Plenty of legroom, width and good recline. Trying to work out where the boarding is was terrible - needs much clearer sighs. The road however was awful. Lots of roadworks - they trying to finish a freeway, but it’s only about 40% complete and just in patches. Very bumpy, winding roads and very uncomfortable.
