I booked on the first real/revenue AY A350 flight i.e. HEL-RVN 5 OCT morning... Short, but it is "all Y" configuration, so could reserve seat in front (hope it sticks ;-) And first flight is always first...

My theory: First flight to RVN so they can have a Santa Claus party there?

Hmmm, HEL-BCN e.g. 10 OCT: AY doesn't want to sell immediate return (both legs on A350) to BCN for some reason in one booking, is it doable with separate tickets (no checked luggage of course)?

Malaga e.g. 10-11 OCT: Seems bookable A350 both ways, but A350 flight number in booking system doesn't match the published list, probably the list is still changing or booking system not updated yet?

This is a definite risk here, could easily be delayed or changed... My thinking: If cheapest Y is cheap enough, just take it, and throw away if it changes and buy another ticket. If expensive, maybe Y or J award?
