2. I've read that AY is re-fitting its J cabin - when is this likely to be completed for this route?
AY codeshares the HEL-PVG-HEL only with Air China (same also for HEL-PEK-HEL).
The re-fitting is due to start next year. There's 6 MD-11 which seems to rotate on all routes so it will be very difficult to estimate if you'll get a refitted aircraft.
Any news when CX will start HKG-PVG-HKG flights? It would offer more combinations for RTW including PVG.
