Great report, thanks! A few comments:
Flying Finnair between Helsinki and Nagoya was disappointing, mainly because of the insufficient catering (low food quality, small portions, limited choice of drinks, charge for snacks and alcoholic drinks between meals).
There is no excuse for a bad meal. I miss the drinks too, but I kind of understand this measure as the consumption used to be quite heavy on AY flights. Nowadays I often order both wine and sparkling wine for the meal and as they come in bottles that goes quite far...
Unbelievable but true: Finnair charges for snacks on long-haul flights (most items cost 2 Euro). Is this a new round of ridiculous cost saving measures?
It is not a cost saving measure but a revenue generating measure as between meals snacks were not available on AY before.
