General Comments
I flew from Manchester to Las Palmas on an Air 2000 Boeing 767. Outbound flight code AMM188C. Checked in at Manchester 2 and a half hours before take off, everything went smoothly. Our flight was supposed to depart at 7:45am and we was asked to board at gate 215 at 6:45am. We took off at 7:20. The aircraft was quite old and it seemed that it was struggling to get off the ground during take off. Meals were nice, staff friendly, the seats seemed old but they were bearable and the toilets and plane were clean. We made up even more time and we landed in Las Palmas an hour ahead of schedule 11:25 instead of 12:25.



Return flight AMM188D- check in once again was good, aircraft landed an hour late from Manchester so we wasn't asked to board till an hour after we was supposed to depart. The aircraft was brand new, comfortable seats and friendly staff who greeted us. We left the stand at gate number 8 and headed for the runway and hour and 15mins late, we then had to wait another 30 minutes as there was several arriving and departing flights. Overall delay of an hour and 45mins. Flight very good, was very impressed. We then landed at Manchester at 18:40 instead of 17:30 so we had made up time but as our plane had landed late our gate had been taken so we had to wait for 15mintues for another Air 2000 flight to depart for Monastir. Overall flights very good!
