Let’s face it – who doesn’t moan at airline food. It’s part of flying isn’t it? But don’t be so naive to think that Mona single-handed changed the old menu. Have a look at her website and see all the butt kissing she is doing to Air Malta now, but then I’m a sceptic – she can’t have any hidden agenda now, can she. It’s not in her DNA.

Nevertheless, you can’t expect to send a mail to the staff of a betting internet company that has no connection with a travel agent putting “And I assure you that contrary to Maltese ‘tradition’, I will not make any commission from this” and expect it to go unnoticed.

I have no issue with her getting stuff for free – good luck if she can – but don’t screw over people and try to be royalty when you come from the gutter.

Mona, just be yourself – you are oh so transparent. We all see through you.

M.

Is xxxxx travel agency Royal Travel, by any chance? Because Mona, poor thing, only discovered the great offers they have AFTER she came back from Mauritius. But being the good soul that she is, she told everyone about them anyway in her review, so that we will not commit her same mistakes.

And you can’t deny that she’s also verrry brave. Just see what she did for us, the hoi polloi without connection :

“I had a chat with a few people at Air Malta. Guys, I said, we know it’s difficult, but it’s not rocket science. That food needs to change. It is foul and tasteless at the same time. It looks bad. Someone is not testing it at 35,000 feet and you’re unleashing it on the passengers.

And you know what? They actually listened. I doubt they listened to me, but somebody in there is making an effort. A month ago I got a call. ‘Try it now and tell us what you think’.

I had heard that she was on forced leave from MIA, but didn’t really believe it. I always put it down to envy by her colleagues.

I always wondered how she could afford such fab holidays. Now we know! Lying toerag was cadging them for free.

Trick #1 and #2 are so spot on it’s painful .. probably #3 too, but the site was done by then.

She’s lucky because her manager is in the UK and can’t see what’s going on. No need for sick leave.

She isn’t on the take from anyone. Look at this class email she sent to all the office staff. You just can’t beat the last sentence.

Hi everybody,

I have been approached by xxxxxxxx.

They would like to make an offer to all Betfair International staff: they are saying they will at least match, but in 99% of cases, beat, any kind of offer that we find on the market for flights, accommodation and packages.

xxxxxxxl are honeymoon, long-haul and cruise specialists. Very few agencies on the island are of their kind of personal calibre. They take a personal interest and some of the hotels on their books are amazing. They have specialists for Africa and Asia working for them. If I could give a personal recommendation at this point, I most definitely would.

Their website is here http://www.xxxxxxx. You can also email them on info@xxxxxxxx

And I assure you that contrary to Maltese ‘tradition’, I will not make any commission from this.

Mona

Perhaps we should we just call them what they are – racist scum.
