The flight itself was completely fine, but my trip took nearly a day to confirm and there were no instructions how to check in and get the boarding passes. So I had to try different things until I figured it out myself. Everything worked out fine but an email from the airline would have been nice.

Overall decent, bus driver was over 30 minutes late and when he arrived was in no hurry to load passengers. Also due to the assigned seats, didn’t let my partner and I sit beside each other despite the bus being more than half empty the whole time. Got there on time, just was not pleased with the service at all
