Excellent service. It was great to have the online payment mode. My family would like to commend all the crew who assisted my mom on her wheelchair during our travel. It was indeed beyond was is expected for the level of service. Good bless you all !!! NOTE: Just one suggestion hope you can upgrade your sound system for everyone to hear and understand the safety measures onboard. We are sitting infront and occupied the seats starting at 16A upto 18A but we can barely understand the demo while watching the video. This is the only thing I can ask to upgrade but overall everything was of great service.
