Nothing positive? AirLounge doesn't do it for you?
I think I've said this to you before, but good. I think people voting with their wallet is the way to go. I don't quite understand why you are complaining about the short-haul Y drinks menu if your pattern is only redemptions in PE/J, but sure. And as I've said, being Ulti on AF-KL can be better than Lumo on AY (same goes for HON circle), so if you can spend 70k on flights per year, great. As a lowly plat on AF-KL, I get a lot more out of AY, especially in terms of the "personalized service" (since there is none on AF-KL unless you are Ulti) which I don't really care that much about (but free WiFi + drinks are nice).
I've got much less of an issue with HEL-based complainers complaining about actual big things than the ex-EU complainers who think this will destroy Finnair (but who can't even cut their own flying in response to champagne changes).
But I do wish people would try to keep some common sense instead of focusing on the actual changes that matter.
