Just want to share my quick experience on 9W581 in Particular i took couple of days ago and not sure if this is normal.

Boarding started pretty late (i guess thats not airlines' fault always) and the flight was full. The whole flight was full of immigrant workers from India (specially from UP & bihar) working in Middle east countries and the flight was terribly stinking. Entire flight had less than 10 female passengers. No IFE of any kind. Entire premium seats were empty.

Gave a feeling of cheap, low class India.

Is this normal on middle east routes?
