Indeed, a longer connection is needed to delve into the bar’s drinks in the Platinum wing.
ATR is bearable at first, but doing tens of them per year, mostly on full planes, quickly becomes painful at best.
TLL is a short flight, but hel-rix is clocked at 70 min with atr, whereas BT fly it in 40. VNO is 1h40 min.
