When I booked and bought my seats, it was for an A330 plane. They switched to a smaller plane. And put us right behind the partition. That's not the best seat to have. They didn't pass out a comfort pack because there was no TV on this flight. So, you had to depend on if you had a device to spend your power on. The staff wasn't as friendly as our last flight. This staff didn't come down and pass out drinks(water) as often. The flight was completely full, so you would have thought they might be a bit more attentive to the need for water. I won't ask for it, but, gladly I'll take it if it's offered.
