Dublin - Mykonos - Dublin.

Firstly flight was delayed for one hour going out, which really isn't a problem except when you hear it's for 'operational reasons', which doesn't instill confidence. So we get on the plane and sit in the tightest fitting seats I have ever been on (I have traveled extensively around the world for over 20 years). As the plane was chartered from Canada, all announcements had to be in English and French - whoever thought up that rule needs their head examined!

The flight to Mykonos was just the first leg of a two legged journey on to Zykinthos. Not one of the cabin crew were able to tell us whether Mykonos or Zykinthos would be the first stop. We landed in Mykonos as it happens and disembarked - the remaining passengers were none the wiser of the transit time or the arrangements.

So on the way back, we were 90 minutes late departing mykonos (this time to Zykinthos/Dublin). Again announcements in dual languages, no details of the lay over in Zykinthos, how long, etc - 45 minutes as it happens. Once we were on board, cabin crew laughed and encouraged passengers to applaud during and after the safety announcements (again in English and French). Once airborne, one steward in particular, decided to engage in conversation with passengers by reading over their shoulders and commenting on news article, asking people were they a couple, how long they were together, etc

I'm afraid this was without doubt the worse flights I have ever been on and would choose another airline if possible anytime.
