Our flight was cancelled and GR doesn’t have any policy to refund even in case of genuine reasons. All our money go waste. Very disappointing

Road construction issues causing dangerous driving matters especially heavy trucks all over. Time wise; arriving in the morning very effective for pleasure purposes traveling. Sunday morning traffic never seen in my life at 8am.

Next time I would definitely book first class, the other seats are pretty hard. So a night ride where one wants to sleep is less comfortable in anything else but 1st class.
