TRAVEL REVIEW
Air Algerie Business Class Airbus A330neo Review: Utterly Awful
I flew Air Algerie's A330-900neo business class from Montreal to Algiers. The seats were fine, but indifferent crew, no menus, no alcohol and a three-hour meal made it miserable.
I’ve flown all of the major (and many minor) airlines, including every international first class cabin.
