So the BA 6pm flight ARN-LHR is zeroed out — first, do you know if that’s just to protect space or actually because it’s sold out? Wonder if airlines can see different inventory?

Alternatively, I wonder if SK would rebook on AY via HEL? Would prefer it because it’s closer to the original arrival time in London and doesn’t involve a much earlier departure from ARN.

That looks wide open but there’s a bit of a tight connection. Any experience with what might happen if AY ARN-HEL is late? Looks like there isn’t another HEL-LHR flight that night on AY or another airline so I wonder if they’d hold the plane for connecting passengers especially since the plane makes a night stop in LHR anyway and just needs to arrive before LHR curfew.

BA 781 ARN 6:00p → LHR 7:45p

compare to:

AY 814 ARN 4:55p → HEL 6:55p

AY 1339 HEL 7:30p → LHR 8:40p
