Departure |
Arrival |
From: [LGW] - London Gatwick
|
At: [SID] - Amílcar Cabral International Airport (Sal)
|
5 minutes late pushing back from Gatwick, but nearly 2 hours earlier than the originally booked flight time as TUI changed the plane and rerouted via Boa Vista adding to the journey length | 15 minutes early landing in Sal due to a very quick crew change in Boa Vista |
Journey |
Service |
A very cramped flight on a plane normally used for 2 hour hops to the south of Spain, not 6 (actually near 8) hour mid-haul flights | Really poor on-board service, massive attempts at upselling (including lying about mosquitos on the islands to sell repellent), everything was to pay for including water |
Departure |
Arrival |
From: [SID] - Amílcar Cabral International Airport (Sal)
|
At: [LGW] - London Gatwick
|
75 minutes late leaving Sal due to a delayed inbound flight | Due to a very strong tail wind we made up most of the delay and were only 10 minutes late landing into Gatwick |
Journey |
Service |
Almost like night and day compared to the outbound flight, a very comfortable seat, plenty of leg room, storage pocket | Pretty good onboard service and much less of the upselling than there was on the outbound flight |
