Seating
At time of booking I had selected 3A, because 3C was empty. At check-in almost all seats were shown as available, so I stayed in 3A. A while later, 3C was shown as occupied, I went to MMB to move to the free aisle seat 2C. All went well until saving my options, then got error "Could not assign seat, as Airline did not release some seats at this point in time".

At no point it time was it possible to move to 2C. During flight it was empty.


Recognition
No recognition at all. Purser did spend some time with the couple in 1A/C (that did not look/act like FQTVs) but with no one else in the cabin.

Asked for a certain Finnish newspaper (Hufvudstadsbladet) in a dialect Finns should be able to understand, and was given the danish Jyllands-posten. The Finnish gentleman next to me laughed with me as he certainly knew the difference between the two. FA went back to galley and found a HBL for me.


Service
Purser sent second FA to serve Y cabin.
The erractic service began. 2A did not want to eat but asked for coffee. Purser inhibited J meal service entirely and went to galley to start boiling water. It took at least 5 minutes, while service was stand-still.
Second FA even wanted to go to galley to fetch something for a Y pax but couldn't because of the parked trolley. She called twice for purser, but purser was too busy with boiling water.
