Is it an unadvertised of the A350 that it can morph into a A321 ? Nice way to reduce fuel consumption when the load is low

Another thought - how about booking a return longhaul ex-ARN/CPH/OSL where either or both s/h segments are in J?

They are likely high profile marketing opportunities with the edge directed at SK.

OK, I'm in 1A on AY668 CPH-HEL OCT 8.

Seat maps looks a bit strange - the aisle isn't drawn correctly.

So what's the vote for THE AY DO flight? BCN/Malaga for most bang for the buck?

And the question is, once booked a A350 flight, what is the probability of equipment/route swap and missint the right one?
