Awesome business class

Just flew London-Islamabad-London on their new A330 Business class. Fare is a fraction of other carriers (notably Emirates/Etihad/Turkish) and they provide direct flights. Excellent service, great food, friendly staff, comfortable seats. The lovely stewardess even took care of my daughter so I could have a sleep in peace. Thoroughly recommended.
