Hmm, the only time I've complained to AY about anything, I wrote a polite message and sent it through the web page. Less than 24 hours later I received an apology plus they sent me €40 in vouchers. (The phone rep had messed up my reservation, and I had to call them while on the road to fix things up.)

Less and less flat beds will be seen on scheduled flights, as AY is using the 3 A330's with 32 J-seats (flatbeds) increasingly on charter flights next winter.
Haven't heard any news on new aircraft for ages, nor have there been any news on enhancing the J-class. AY may have lost the game in trying to attract J-class passengers.
And they continue using B757's (charter configuration) on their up to 5 weekly Toronto scheduled flight this summer and on their Dubai flights. I feel sorry for the people who book these flights thinking of getting a decent scheduled flight and ending up on a charter plane.
Also now that they are getting rid of 4 A320's it is interesting to see if and how delays will increase and how the connections from/to Europe will work out.
