The latter I have also flown in economy once, and that is really bad.

Btw also at ARN I passed immigration by uttering "från Helsingfors" - it helped that it was T4 (?) that had few arrivals and those mainly from Scandinavia

Finnair Questionnaire on various potential service concepts
Have just been invited to provide feedback on a number of different service ideas what Finnair might provide in the future.
Copy-pasted all the service descriptions into a Word doc and attached it to this post. Some of them are really "interesting" and allowes a quick glimpse into what they are brainstorming on for potential additional revenue sources...
For each of the concepts I had to reply how interesting / valuable the service would be for me, and how it would affect my choice of airline. Additionally, an explanation for my replies in a free text field was required for all of these.

- Customizable FF benefits (change out the ones you don't need and get something useful in change)
- Cheaper (or free?!) flights when you bring a friend or a group (book a whole row or part of it)
- Utilize frequent flyers more in innovation, development, etc.

Nothing to do with AY but now when no need to fly for status and as LGG is a Boeing 747 -virgin, I just booked DY flight from OSL to NCE operated by first class and 5 star airline from Spain, Vamos Air (Boeing 747). ^
HEL-OSL-NCE 108€ and upstairs business class seat booked. I'm getting exited.

Unfortunately OSL-NCE is only 2,5 hrs flightime. 
But then back from NCE with AY and this solved also my problem how to get to ARN on next day.
So: business class award NCE-HEL-ARN with 36000 points and 36 euros. Two trips in business class and positioning to ARN solved.

-sta actually. Nasta Asta Astanasta is perfectly understandable Finnish. Kokoo kokoon koko kokko might be difficult to understand for foreigners learning Finnish.

In an eventual and for technical reasons, can be found in 55 Business Class seats with 2-2-2 and 2-3-2 distribution. In this case there is no bed seats but considerably more space and comfort resting in Economy, and is located on the lower deck.

Does anyone know exactly in what location Scandic is opening their "Scandic Helsinki airport"?
Text says in a LAK building that currently houses offices, and I can spot one such at Fraktvägen 3, immediately south of T1/gate 11. But the text also says "100m from T2", so I am confused. Any who knows?
