Generally speaking, it was a really nice flight! All the IM & FPs and other crews were very nice to me. The pax were not as demanding as i thought (ps: ICN flights only!) There was a deportee on board the aircraft in the returning flight though. Too bad i didnt have a chance to visit the cockpit during my FD, hoped that i'd be able to visit there one day soon. Anyway, "Thank you very much for the flight!" LOL
