The flight was a bit late. The steward that was assigned to us did not speak good English and we did not understand anything she was trying to say. My sister refused breakfast but not me the stewardess walked away from both of us, I had to let her know I still want breakfast. The food gave my sister and I diarrhea. We kept running back and forth to the bathroom. The plane was disgusting, it was so outdated, the screen for the movie was very old fashion, it was really gross and dirty. Our tray table was so nasty and dirty it had dirt/bacteria in between the sides, our pillows were dirty, the business class did not resemble a business class at all. I was extremely disappointed and I beleive the nasty, horrible surroundings contributed in us getting diarrhea. I have photos to go along with it.
