Made to Order
We are among the first airlines to have rice cookers, toasters and skillets on board, enabling our flight attendants to prepare freshly cooked rice, toast and eggs to your liking. First Class passengers can also go à la carte and choose their own meals and dine anytime they wish. Hmm, how about having fried eggs, sunny-side up?
