I am happy to report that the answer to both questions is a resounding yes.
Fantastic service in P, both the BEST cabin and the great crew (didn’t hurt to be the only one aboard in one direction, and just 2 on the other way). Very good lounge and exceptionnal ground service, again both on the product (those Jaguars sure do not hurt!) and the staff, even very early in the morning
Will definitely do it again, even if this means going out of the fastest way in terms of routing
