Cons: for me it would need better, healthier food items to micro heat, or more choices on fresh fruits or veggies. also an anti bacteria wipe while boarding or offered with food purchase. Tips: germs exit ..wipe down your area before and after..be careful be clean, be kind. No naked feet on eating trays.
