Fond memories here too..first trip to the U.S. in the 80's .. "standing" smoking section in the back of the D10..

What would today’s SeatGuru mention about the seat rows directly in front of the smoking section?

”Standard Economy seat. Proximity of the smoking section may be problematic.” ?

The observation I made that they apparently used some old stock video of HEL with all AY planes in the old livery. Well, maybe it's just that the target audience for the show is something other than frequent flyers..

It's been like this for a couple months now and I need to be on board .
I don't know, I had no issue booking an ARN-HEL-BUD for a princely sum of 1594 SEK in Value for early June. No issues with the return in I either (and onward to Asia)

BUD also have its third daily (?), so capacity should be there. True, the last few times HEL-BUD felt more like ICN-PEK or GMP-HND, so many Asian pax.

It seems pay-walled, but what was the charge? Fraud?

Not by pax. "TTG China has been recognizing Greater China’s best companies in the travel industry, including airlines, hotels and resorts, serviced residences and travel services since 2008. The selection is done by travel industry professionals."

Understandable, as few pax would have flown enough European airlines to compare them.

What is the idea to earn money with the sofa concept? It takes space so it reduces the space for seats.

It is supposed to earn money by attracting attention (this is clearly this year's april's fool joke!)

The idea is not that far away from ideas presented on fairs. Just the picture was too fake.
