General Comments
There appeared to be a loud noise coming from one of the engines upon take-off. I have flown on many occasions and had never heard such a noise previously. Upon disembarking, I noted that there were a number of people, presumably engineers, peering into the engine from which the noise had emanated, with torches. There was a delay before take-off. Given that the plane had just flown into Monastir Airport, I wonder whether the unusual noise from the engine had been noted, but a decision was made to fly the plane in any event.
The food was awful, but was not of such concern, given fears regarding the strange engine noise.
The service provided by the cabin crew was perfunctory. Safety checks were also carried out in a perfunctory manner, eg. cursory glances to see if seatbelts were buckled. The cabin crew appeared disinterested.
The plane was old. Its interior was shabby. The toilets were disgusting - brown, stained and old. I would never fly with this airline again.
