I like him because we had a happy/good conversation

The flight flew(fly past tense) across North pole

What are provided in Business-Class? Appetizer, Main course, dessert

When I was in Singapore

Our flight had problems

They had to fix the problems

The turbulence was very strong that all the food and drinks fell on the floor.

Were the passengers scared?

Dan: Just this one.
