Flight is very pleased. Employees respond to the slightest request and fluent in Russian, so the flight was for me almost imperceptibly. Elephant is equipped with the latest technology, which causes involuntary respect to management that could ensure stable operation of the not quite new though improved technology.

Of course, in business class service is decent, but it does not go to any comparison with the fact that Pinnacle Airlines offers passengers the first! Staff behave with due dignity, to the best of imposing their services. I was very pleased.

Even when flying in economy class felt a huge difference to our airlines. Here passengers are respected as well as if he was flying to the ground. This greatly pleased me as I have not once seen as dismissive attitude to people there.

The planes are clean and fresh feeling, which occurs when lowered into the chair does not transmit any names. Everything is done for the people and on the highest level!

Recently, the services of the airline Pinnacle Airlines, and was basically happy with their service and staff. All flight attendants friendly smile. Everything happens without delay. On board well fed and offer a variety of drinks. Stories from the lost luggage not remember. Inside, comfortable seats and legroom more than enough.
