Shenzhen Airlines Surprising Economy Class Review (Airbus A330 & Boeing 737) | LHR - SZN - SGN

Описание: Today I'm reviewing one of the more gruelling trips of my life. London Heathrow to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) with a 7 hour layover in Shenzhen. The service and food were surprisingly good, but other issues make it hard to recommend them on long haul flights...
