Nice step in the right direction. Just compare your fair( not with the Emirates Airline) with other airlines and make them competitive.
Its better than Emirates the fare
I TRAVEL 3 TIMES FROM LONDON TO ISLAMABAD IN THE LAT 7 MONTHS AND THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT I NOTICED, THEY COMPLETELY REMOVED THE CUSHIONS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS.THIS IS SO FUNNY. 100% TRUE.shame
Tell the cabin crew to clean the washrooms, its part of their duty and what they are paid for.
No they are not paid for cleaning toilets!
I saw cabin crews cleaning the toiletries in Qantas airline , not sure that till which extent they have to clean it.
Its a safety check first of all. Secondly, they replace empty bottles such as liquid soaps, lotion, air freshener, tissue supply, empty bins and all. They keep it tidy in short! But they do not clean it.
Dear why u people leave the toilet uncleaned for them, at least you should use it n clean it as you do at your homes.
Good step but need the ife to be working too, until they completely refurb the 5 b777with new 10 abreast seats with new ife. However, its good to see a clean aircraft with this temporary refurb
Seriously,
Just traveled on pia from Bangkok to karachi, and karachi to Islamabad.. On yh vietair air crafts leased by pia. And they were disgustingly dirty.. So much got renovation …
until service at airports and cabin crew is not improved, these improvements will not work. true professionalism is required which cannot be achieved with existing politically hired over staff, who are just blank dull faces with other interests thereon instead of serving right.
Engine per tawaja dain, uper ja k koi bhrosa nahi PIA crafts ka ?
