The key to a successful DO is definitely the non-smoking visit to the smoking area.

Been there. What a great way to get some fresh air in your lungs after a long flight.

You all do realise that the chance of London having a "snowday" in January is 17%? That party flight might get diverted to somewhere they can handle snowflakes on the runway. Like chelyabinsk

Not enough seats on a MiG. I'll ask for a Ил-62 instead.

Ok, I'm in for the whole thing and not just for the return. Could someone please add me in the wiki (class of travel 58Å)?

I also need guesting for the Flounges.

At least Aviating and I are Plats, I added that info to the wiki. Also, heatsink was plat right? I'm sure we'll get enough plats to get everyone guested.

Yes, I am. I didn't say anything because I've been mentioning it in so many other posts that I started feeling un-Finnish.

In general, I'm really glad we found a good price for a same day return.

I've started disliking weekend trips to Europe since I'd like to be at home more. A single day of lounge food, sauna and flying is going to be absolutely awesome, though.
