Could it be related to similar situation like between me and FFlash, reported from post #68 onwards?

The domestic 359 sectors they seem to have all J blocked and I can see the only reason they will run those domestic flights totally without J.

Maybe they are afraid the J seats will wear off and stain too early like in other planes and the premium lounge ("very successful" selection of fabric and color)

I can imagine free bilberry juice would leave a nasty stain...

+1!

Remember, it is the same company that designed both the new lounge and the A359 cabin.

"Due to popular demand, we have decided to remove food and drinks from the lounge and our new Airbus A350. Our customers have clearly indicated that they appreciate our exclusively designed and pristine environments.
Travellers won't go hungry though. We have worked hard with our new sponsor Vaasan, and in each amenity kit they will find one Finncrisp bread - a truly nordic way of arriving at the destination with peace of mind."

Upgraded with points to seat 1A on AY831 HEL-LHR on my birthday 6.10. \o/
Got seat 1L for the return flight AY996 on 16.10. after returning with VS207 (B787-900) from Hong Kong.
Great opportinity to compare the most recent planes from Airbus and Boeing on a same trip
All thumbs and toes up for no equipment changes atleast on my birthday flight.

Got an email today that the inauguration day flight to OUL has be rescheduled from 17->16.45.

I am optimistic that they do not screw up rouletting whole new timetables but rather keep this important date by any means, and that OUL rescheduling is only a minor finetuning.

Also checked AY 359 webpages if there is any update but no, just the same info referring to scheduling info as according to the old 9th April plan.

Also return from RVN was adjusted 13:50 -> 13:40. Very good. 10 minutes less with mosquitoes.

Got another mail about that too.
Mosquitoes at RVN airport indoors? Or do you plan to go run a semi-ruskamarathon while waiting for the return bounce? Might join you then

I got the same email. Checked the seat map to be safe, and was informed that I will be flying on a "Boeing 747-400 359" (sic). Upper deck appeared to be blocked .

Ah, since the RVN lounge construction is not ready yet, they are sharing vouchers to Rovakatu SIWA

We can check it in with a huge empty box. Should we announce competition for most hilarious/useful/bizarre checked in item for the inauguration flight? (Kontti kaljaa is already a winner.)
