I upgraded my seat on AY996 by App and with 10.000 points.

I guess it is not worth it cause C is crowded with points/miles -freaks but let's try it.
If someone asks, I'm not a part of that group.

Nice try, but we'll make sure you will have no chance denying your true colours!

OH-LGG - the leader of the (fanny-)pack.

And still I am sure one of you idiots are going the be seated in 4E next to me, "for my comfort"


On a more serious note - my original booking is still present in the app and I still hold seats in the econ cabin (both on finnair.com and expertflyer). Surely they should release those seats as soon as waitlist cleared?

The flight attendants expecting a nice and quiet saturday evening flight are going to love us...

I added my seat numbers to the wiki post. It might be a good idea to see if we can manage to sit close to each other to minimize disruptions to other customers.

I think - seriosly- that Finnair should warn other customers on these flights, like Silja and Viking warns about abiristeilyt. This goes especially for the return flight. I already
heard there will be limited drink service
in J and that both Finnish yellow papers have booked tickets for a story. Believe me or not.

thank goodness I'm on AY 996 in J only 2 weeks later. If you provide data on experimental conditions I can provide the baseline. Without the fanny packs.

I never had an abiristeily myself, so I get to re-live my youth next week!

Actually, should we warn Finnair? What if they run out of NF?

But AY will claim a dozen elites who've already spent 12 hours lounging and flying is an exceptional circumstance. I might agree, actually – at least for me it is!

Hi - while I'm NY based, I travel to Finland several times a year so I'm a [very] occasional poster but a regular lurker. As it happens, I'll be in Helsinki on the 14th and would love to meet some faces at the HEL Premium Lounge (I can bring a guest).

I'm beginning to think it's a good thing that I'm on the 6 p.m. flight back and not on AY996...
