Onboard - J cabin:
Were the crew professional & well groomed? Very much so. Only issue I would say would be the one FA talking to a customer during the safety demonstration (via video).
If there was a delay, were you provided with timely updates? N/A
Was the IFE activated on the ground? No, 767 though, so the aircraft shut down on start off.
Was a pre-departure beverage offered on the ground? Very nice OJ
Did crew offer to hang your jacket? N/A
Were newspapers & menus distributed and meal orders taken (Please specify when meal orders were taken - on the ground or in the air)? Orders werent taken, I was just asked as they came around if I wanted the pancakes or omlet
Did crew offer a hot towel prior to the meal service? yes
Approximately how long after take off did it take for the first meal service to be completed? (From takeoff to all items collected) 1.5 hours
How was the quality of all the meals? Surprisingly good.
Did the cabin crew continiously top up the beverage of your choice throughout the flight? Serious dissapearance after the meal service. When I went to the washroom, they were all sitting and reading at the front of the airplane.

If you have checked baggage, did it arrive within reasonable period of time? N/A
Overall experience/any other comments Nothing great, but nothing really bad. A good flight. Though having the POD on a N/A flight sure does help.
