Was picked up at 5:10 AM and drove about 45 minutes to the field, where juice and a pastry came first. Liked the pilot and the mix of foods at breakfast.

Called it worth the price and the early wake-up: an on-time driver, a friendly ground crew and a Berber breakfast in a tent with plenty of character.
