BTW, did it also fly at a noticeably lower than normal altitude? That was my experience with one flight that had a MX issue and therefore flew slowly. <I know, only one vague datapoint>
we flew at FL320 during entire cruise period. Announcements were very minimal even during delay. As we left gate for the second time 4:08 was the flight time announced.
