I was particularly impressed with the pleasantness of the cabin crew on both the outward and return flights between Belfast International and Schiphol.

They all displayed a high level of professionalism and the flight attendants on the very early outbound departure managed to maintain their composure despite passengers standing up during the safety demonstration when the aircraft was already taxiing to the runway.

We arrived at Amsterdam in just over an hour thanks to a strong tailwind and once again some people had those seat belts unfastened long before the plane stopped at the terminal.

Annoying as this must have been to the young lady at the front who had already explained they must remain in use until the aircraft came to a complete stop, she displayed a great deal of tact when using the intercom to reiterate this important safety message.
