It was delayed for more than 1 hour due to LIMA when many planes landed & took-off at the same time. It could ve been better if the pilot or crew informed us every few minutes so that we know what’s going on.

Prompt and efficient boarding. New MH-awards streaming worked first time on my personal device.
The crew is good, but the flight delayed and there is two passengers keep talking during the flight
Worst airline ever. They didn’t let me board although I had a connecting flight boarding pass. The reason was “we don’t have an agreement with Bhutan airlines” the hell? How do you hand out boarding passes and let someone go through the airport to the gate and then say we can’t board and have to go back to security. Who can make that flight/time? Completely irresponsible in communicating this. I’ll never fly MYairline.
Can’t expect more than this from a budget airlines. Excellent value for money. Cheap and on time service. That’s what matters.
