Joining the fun:
05OCT AY421 10L
05OCT AY428 8L
Not sure why FFlash claims to have taken my seat for the return. At least Fineair booking system shows my seats as confirmed.

Am I not allowed to choose my seat on award X ticket? I think there were other people too here who snatched an award seat. Must call AY.

I bought my ticket with cash and also had to pay extra for the "legroom seats" due to my lowly AY student card. When selecting the seat it showed 8L as vacant.

The Plat desk lady did not know what had happened. She wondered there had been equipment swap (really, she said that )
She put me on 4A and 5L. I am still very baffled and 0% confident about my seat after this incident. Obviously they don't care a dumb about platinum members and the PR this flight will have. This just should not happen
so typical Finnish PR stunt with things not going like in strömsöö

Awesomeness. Now I have also 2 colleagues (1 AY G) and another friend joining for 7th Oct hel-arn-hel. Has anybody in practise gone to the premium lounge for a Schengen flight i.e do the dragons let you enter?
We have precise plan for the night including wrap-up session after the trip in Kämp bar
