Overall it was great experience, with the exception of snack food. The food offered in two main meals was just fine but for the mid-flight snack, the only option was a large cookie, too sweet and high sugar content. Snacks at the back of the plane were also mainly sweets. There was one nice baked cheddar option but it quickly ran out.
