I wouldn't get too greedy here. You had a J (U) ticket, you got J. IMHO, no reason to ask AY to return the upgrade instrument to you especially since you actually were only entitled to Y on SQ.

And as JAL manages to whip up very nice Japanese food even out of Moscow I save my hunger for that.

I thought distress fares were some weighed average of fares published by IATA members in a given IATA-defined flight category. Unless there are some other agreements, as would be in joint ventures or possibly alliances.

Booking pax onto other carriers during irreg at short notice, especially outside any alliance or rev sharing agreement, is covered by IATA resolution 735d. The new carrier just gets what was originally assigned to the coupon for the segment(s) that the pax initially had in their ticket.

Some carriers opted out of the scheme because they made a significant loss during irregs of another carrier. Example is DL vs UA/AA. For such situations they opted for a new bilateral interline agreement. I don't think QF/SQ have such a bilateral, but just use the general IATA interline framework.

AY has two A350 in Narita this morning. Is that normal operations to do double daily A350 over summer?

The wonders of AY IT makes AY's own website practically the only one that could not book this ticket: HEL-WAW-KRK-HEL. OTA booked with no issues, 105-stock, the Polish domestic on LO with LO flight number (no code-share). Interestingly, the AY flights are not Light/Basic/Value/etc types, but simple booking class (even on AY website)

Viime vuonna Mika pyörähti kuusi kertaa Amsterdamissa ja kolmesti Bangkokissa. Tämän lisäksi hän matkusteli lomamatkoille Pariisiin ja Berliiniin. Aiempina vuosina lomakohteina olivat myös Chicago, New York ja Miami.
Ahkeran matkailun ansiosta hän oli päässyt Finnairin kanta-asiakasohjelman platinum-luokkaan.
