Yeah, well, have to concentrate on other aspects then. I actually was aware it will be 767 and my hopes are not set too high. According to ExpertFlyer the CA912 will operate with 767-200 and CA911 is just listed as 767 (most likely -200 again). According to quick search in airliners.net photo database, ARN has seen 767-300 sometimes.

True but I like it. Even the packed snack vegetable/meat thing you get sometimes.

So, business as usual. Pretty much nobody recognizes *G - that is how I have observed it in my travel.

Too bad the business class fare was running high just like with any other airline, it could have been fun to try it. And AY would have been cheaper and quicker but then again, I am back in Star Alliance again.
