We can do a couple rounds on 615, or alternatively hit up a bar in the city and grab a few drinks

Japan is not a very popular destination here, seen as there are no Value tickets for Y FTers and no good sales for J FTers

Eh, just get a visa and book ex-SVO or something, or make two bookings: HEL-ICN on Finnair and SEL-TYO on Nihon Kōkū.

The Courmisch leisure travel policy is as good as law, and it says no long-haul at less than 75% earnings!

If you consider non-cartel airlines and their programs, you can earn 200% while paying less

Seeing how Japan Value ticket keeps coming up as a topic in various threads, I think it is a popular destination, or atleast one many are highly interested in. Not being Finland-based, extensive Japan network from Northern Europe is how AY initially caught my interest.

So if you guys are fine with that (a "large majority" support shows that you are ), I'll book a table somewhere in HEL city centre for 27 April.

oh bad I did not update my part in wiki. I had booked a semi-segmentrun on 27th so only possible to be at HEL at 7am

As I'm checking the Wiki, I think I will buy a flight for 15 May evening and join @Lappe to the Platinum Wing. It may still be closed for general public, so I hope this way I could also slip in and get a bit of the renovated lounge taste.

@Lappe I don't. That's why I wanted to join you, as per Wiki you know how to enter the PW. Could the entry be granted if you bring a hammer along?
