Prologue:

Hello and welcome to this continuation of my trip to SJO. After I arrived in PTY I immediately went to gate11 for my connecting flight. I decided to skip the lounge and visit it when I return.

This time I had a window seat and was able to appreciate the view from outside. The flight was full and unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to take any cabin shots.

This was a short flight of approx. 1 hr. I was impressed that CM still served something to eat for pax in Y. Other airlines can learn from it.

    Thanks for sharing this TR

    " I decided to skip the lounge "
    Of course you ate too much during your former flight

    "unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to take any cabin shots."
    The panda is too shy ;)

    " I was impressed that CM still served something to eat for pax in Y"
    Nice gesture but nothing to speak about

    Great views before landing

    See you soon

    Salut GG

    "Of course you ate too much during your former flight"
    - I should avoid pasta - it's too filling.

    "The panda is too shy ;)"
    - Not around the "right" people. ;)

    "Nice gesture but nothing to speak about"
    - At least you could make a sandwich out of that with the cold cuts and egg salad. Mmm. sounds like a LH sandwich.

    SJO is impressive when you land. Everything is so green! You should visit it someday and try their food. :P

    A plus tard.

    If BA and LH are around... See what we expect !
    Thanks Adam for the review.

    Hi Thomas,

    How things have changed. Not long ago airlines like CM would look up to US carriers to set their standards.

    Hola Casper,

    Considering that there is little competition on this route I am also surprised.

    Hi Seb,

    A nice surprise indeed.

    Landing in SJO it's always advisable to have a window seat.

    Hello Jetset' !

    Yes, catering was correct. But.. I always think airline companies could do a better job with catering..Especially in Europe;)
    The standard is too low now. And we (passengers) have to fight on this point.

    Thank you Adan !

    You are right about catering within Europe - just look at BA and AZ in Y.

    Good thing the lounges offer decent food (most of them at least).

    Merci.
