Airport seems busy enough and functional. For some reason we parked at a bus gate despite the actual gates being pretty much empty. Airport seems busy enough with flights very few cancellations of the FIDS. Foreign airlines seem to still be flying widebodies here, saw a TK A330 and an EK 777 on the ground.

Now - would I fly UL again? No! Economy on the A330 is about as uncomfortable as economy can get on a non-LCC, the only saving grace was the seat free next to me (flight was about 75% full). Hoping for a seat free next to me to KHI. The Serendiva lounge is a joke, you pretty much have to pay for J to get a decent experience with UL. Airport wifi is slow unless you're in the lounge etc.

Have my return with them in two weeks.
