ok, the prices ARE ridiculously high , most of all within the Gulf.
About the staff , i can't believe a Country like this can't hire at least .... semi-experienced cabin crew (they r better than Alitalia staff anyway :D )and why not hire citizens in additions to what they hire? .... is it maybe because a muslim woman can't travel unchaperoned oh please give me a break this is 2012 plus is a job, not travelling for pleasure, even Gulf Air hires Baharaini women as cabin crew . Alcohol is not an issue for me coz i am Muslim, and i personally do not care if there is or there isn't , about being allowed to pray on board , i have never been stopped from it ....
