This was more than 30 years ago, but there were exposed, frayed wires hanging in the passenger cabin and poor housekeeping in general.

Additionally, they put a lot of non-smoking passengers (myself included) into the smoking section. Plus, there were smoking passengers seated in the smoking section. There were a lot of disgruntled passengers on that plane.

Still, that's a shame that it's folding.
