Flight delay
They offered meals, snacks, and beverages, but the meal could have been a lot better. The food was not that flavorful, and the bread was a bit tough & difficult to cut. Also our flight was delayed about 3 hours because of technical issues, which is not necessarily their fault, but it did inconvenience us and made a long day without much rest, even longer and exhausting. We were given $30 each (Canadian dollars) each in vouxhwrs for food & drink to compensate, but that was barely enough money to get a meal at the airport, let alone some snacks and a drink. They were communicative about the issues and delay times. And, as always, the legroom on the plane, which isn't necessarily the airline's fault, but the design of the airplane maker, could be much better for the economy seats. I am 6'2", which is not unusually tall, and I have literally, an inch or less of space between my knees and the seat in front of me. And that space disappears as soon as the person sitting in front of me reclines their seat. And I am not able to recline in my seat, because it pushes my knees even further forward. If the airlines and airplane makers didn't try to maximize profits by squeezing as many people in a small space as possible, like sardines in a tin, and valued people's comfort more, than this would not be an issue.
