The flight was heavily delayed which put into question my connection. The boarding and unboarding process was horrible. The airline crams as many people as possible on this short flight. A 787 parks in the middle of the airport and a shuttle bus ferries you in. Why? In a major european airport with a huge plane. In addition, the information provided everywhere on the terminal of arrival was simply wrong and this was not the reality.
