Flying to AMM to get to Israel was the transit that bites the dust for some HEL passengers.

Compared to the convulted routes/long layovers I need to take to get to AMM these days... (latest - HEL-LHR-BKK-KUL-AMM truth be told, BKK and KUL were also legit destinations)

In the "worst" case I can always just play tourist for a day or two in Israel - plenty to see. And even chance a crossing at the Allenby bridge (or the one further north for a more enjoyable experience), avoiding TLV departure hassle...

Does anyone know which aircraft they are using for it?
The article says A320, and seatguru shows economy only but finnair.com sells business class tickets there, so I'm wondering which aircraft and what configuration is used on this route

Few weeks back Monday departure was A319 and friday departure was A320.

Both obviously with adjustable curtain, in my case three rows of J. I was the only J passenger both ways. Y was about 50% full. TLV-HEL was heavy cargo load, eight containers if I remember right.

A319/320/321 Business Class: The same seats than in Y, the middle seat blocked, the Business rows are separated by a curtain.

Has AY cancelled flights to TLV? I cannot find them on the AY site or on ITA.
