Rebrand accomplished.

Anyway, continuing on the original subject, in a more serious tone:

• Make it clear what the longterm intention is for CCR access. Will it remain for all GGL members, even without 5000 TPs?
• Restore the LHR-HEL route, which was cancelled at the onset of the pandemic. I'm stuck with no longer having saver redemptions available within Europe for an entire trip ex-HEL. Waterside, I'm counting on you! *pounds fist into table* Or not.
• Taken that Britons still seem to flock to Lapland for seeing Santa Claus/Father Christmas/whatever you want to call the imposter of a historic Turkish chap, since at least four decades back, I'm somewhat surprised that there's no seasonal winter route LGW/LCY-RVN. IAG seems to be happy to leave the Santa Claus and Lapland experience tourism entirely to U2 and LS, as well as charter flights (mainly BY). AY did ex-LGW to KTT or RVN for one season in 2019, and it was also available as a BA codeshare, but so far ex-UK to Finnish Lapland seems to be returning without any direct Oneworld competition. It's not like I have a personal need for it, but I do like to see feasible travel business being picked up on. I mean, shouldn't everyone here be excited by one more 80 TP route?

Obviously RVN must be feasible in some sense, taken that some 15 years it was an annual Concorde charter destination. Photo lended from the newspaper Kaleva.
