It's OK for 3.5 flight hours, but too much sweety food…
The aircraft was in 2/3 load, and the middle seat was free, so I felt like passenger in European business class.
During flight:
Cabin view: (This photo from I-NEOS, but It's same in I-NEOX)
After landing:
When I saw the parade of defunct airlines in this report I had to do a double take and then I saw that the flight was in 2008! So cool to see Malev, Olympic, and BMI after all these years. Even Cyprus, which recently went out of Business.
Thanks for sharing this first ever report on Neos. Seems like pretty good service overall. Would be interesting to see how Neos has changed 8 years later.
In the future, it would be nice if you made use of the Summary section at the bottom to justify your grades, as is customary. Thanks!
Great photos once again! Thanks for the Retro-report, very cool!
This is a indeed a great archive report.
I add to the long list of now defunct airlines present that day in TLV Donbassaero (not Transaero), whose logo on an A320 is partially hidden by an airbridge. It which went bankrupt in 2013, before we should hesitate about calling it Ukrainian or Russian.
I wonder where this airport spotted on the way is (a Greek island, I presume ?)
Thanks for sharing !
Thank You!
I'll write something in the summary...
Also You can see defunct aircrafts like the B762ER or B757 that used by ELAL.
Yes. I'm live in Israel so I know that you thought that may be some problems, but since 2005 or 2006, when the IAF base in TLV moved to other place, There's no problem with photographers.
I also come sometimes and do (?!) spotting, and the security are OK with this, they even talk with me about my photography gear, they're very nice usually.
