On CX I always get the acknowledgment from ISM though I've heard that sometimes they didn't do it when there are too many elites.

It could happen during peak periods say around Christmas. At other times, the chance is probably between zero and ... zero.

Sorry for what may seem like a rudimentary question but how wide/good are the selection of western (i.e. Hollywood) movies?
I'm wondering because I am planning to fly AY to asia this fall. There's a long transit time in HEL (something that AY could improve if they're planning to target US east coast - Asia passengers) but AY J price is very reasonable compared to CX (i.e. about 1/2 what CX is charging) so I'm thinking of giving it a try.
Btw, from looking at finnair site it seems that reindeer meat is an option. Would any of you recommend it?
