I do hope so! What I would really value is a second PVG flight, preferably with late evening departures from both HEL and PVG, similar to what AF and LH already have. At the moment, if I want to take a OW evening flight I have to use CX via HKG, which is fine but HKG is more of a hassle in connecting terms than HEL.
AY can definitely teach BA a few things in terms of J class drinks. Great dessert wines and decent vintage port, plus a more imaginative wine list than we tend to see in CW.
