Tunisair

On my recent work trip to Tunisia, I flew from Heathrow airport and with the airline Tunisair. Now before this trip I had never flown before with this airline and will even admit that I'd not really even heard much, if anything about them. This is mainly due to the fact that I have never been asked for that airline and the compnay I work for at the moment doesn't have a contract to sell them as part of our packages.
