Many years ago I received that Artek newspaper rack as X-mas gift. Nothing since, but we still use the rack = better than most X-mas gifts!

Some 7 years ago I was among the last ones to get platinum welcome gift though, and I got this steaming beuty, which is likely to outlive my platinumhood.

Don`t know is this plat benefit or what, but I was flying HEL-HKG last week in J and they provided me mattress for my seat. Said that they are trying these with plats on this route and there was one other pax who got the mattress also.
Really good flight overall, except wifi didn`t worked at all but they gave me 10,000 AY points for that what was more than generous!

Very good crew, at the beginning of the flight the purser came to introduce himself etc.

I can't wait to try this on HEL-NRT next month. I hope they're still testing it at that point.
Is the seat adjustable at all while it's mounted or are you stuck in the bottom position if you want to temporarily do something like move your stuff around?

You can definitely move your seat in any position you want. Here`s picture of the seat with mattress.

Well, it sounds like I've got something to look forward to on my upcoming HEL-SIN and SIN-HEL flights. I hope the mattress is offered on those, too. Both are night flights.

This is the link to the current Sky Bistro menu. On page 8, it says that Sky Bistro is not available for RIX, STO (meaning ARN as this is the AY version), LED or TLL – nor the "short domestic routes". In addition to that, the Finnair webpage mentions on RIX flights they only serve juice and there is no service at all to TLL, TKU and TMP.
Officially there is no service at all on TKU, TMP and TLL routes. But TKU flight is often a triangle flight HEL-MHQ-TKU-HEL or vice versa and each sector is only about 20-25 minutes (except HEL-MHQ which is usually 45mins) This means that pax who board from MHQ and fly to HEL through TKU are sitting almost 1,5 hours in the plane without any service and therefore FA's sometimes offer at least water even though no service is mandatory on that route.

Finally got around to clicking on the link in the summer gift email. The URL has "TOP1000" in it... How they rank members is beyond me. My measly 200k per year (albeit for many years runnin), all in coach, seem to qualify me, but 400k per year isn't enough to qualify WilcoRoger...

I know it is something they keep track of, I've had comments made by agents about it.
