Something does go on there, hotel prices were also sky-high (for Budapest, anyway) for next week. But all I could find was the Budapest Fashion week going on.

AY want's me to use 69€ for upgrade to PRG.
I got a mail from AY In Finnish and followed the link:
It says I can use my tier points for upgrade. Why is it tier points? Should it be award/palkinto points?

You can do some research about the flight numbers here: http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/ay.htm
The domestic network in 1960 is interesting: http://www.timetableimages.com/ttima...06/ay60-26.jpg

And look at the 1971 timetable. The tables very much resemble train or bus timetables, with all those intermediate stops.
Oh, so that's why many of the Russian codes are so strange. Didn't know they had changed so many place names there. However, Volgograd, ex-Stalingrad is VOG.

Yep, of course ex-Soviet Union not the only place for these kinds of things. Ho Chi Minh City used to be Saigon, hence code SGN.
