Was already checked-in online. Still had to wait in line gor almost a hour to drop off my bag because the self service drop off did not work. 30 minutes before boarding the flight status gave delayed. At the end the flight delayed for ovet 50 min. Aircraft was not clean. However staff is very friendly.

I'm quite tall (203 cm)o just sitting in a regular place is horrible. Lucked out by sitting in a hot seat (it's red, no idea why it's a hot seat) with a space between me and a fellow traveler. So I could shift my legs to the free space so I was sitting quite well. Took an hour in total to get to bankok and bags were really fast at the belt

Everything worked very smooth, which actually surprised me. There were no queues, the personal was very friendly. Planes are made for shorter people but the staff helped to accommodate if there were free spots with more space for legs. Everything was on time.

Very convenient, although it was not made clear that the baggage is not included, so I had to pay extra.
