I regularly take train from HEL airport. Has someone calculated, whether exit 2A or 2B is quicker to go through? They end up almost to the same place but does one have more walking than the other? Any other super hints for the airport?

More relevant question becomes if you land between gates 21 and 13 somewhere and think if going landside at T1 is faster or 2A to reach the train. I still haven't quite figured out yet that. Next time I should clock it.

Pleasant surprise today as I was just getting "comfortable" in seat 26L on return DEL-HEL leg of DEL run. (second weekend in a row, is he idiot?) Suddenly there has been overbooking in tourist class, and yours truly is quickly escorted to front cabin 
Meal service was single-tray and reminded me a bit of QR Y, but atleast the Napue flows freely, so can't really complain😅

But then see their face changing is the best. I hope the more they experience this, the less they will judge people in the future.
To my observation, most FFs dont travel with suits, cuz they/us learnt to travel with comfort. There are some travel once a year are usually dressed all fancy, cuz thats what they imagine a FF exec would be.

There must be also a difference between SH and LH flights. On SH, it doesn't make much difference in comfort if you travel in business clothes and the trips are shorter on average, so you can travel HBO if you wear the suit instead of packing it.

The FA's have more observations on how FF's travel

Stupid boarding experience at ARN yesterday. Arrived a bit late from the lounge so didn't hear what they had announced, but the automated boarding gate displays were showing "Groups 1-4" and people were going through. Several people in front of me in the queue got the red beep and the gate agent announced "it's only for groups 1 & 2" - to which people then countered with "But it says 1-4 up there" - "Yes, but listen to the announcements!".
Seriously how hard is it to keep updating the display with additional groups?
