Is this new? I think so, but now I am not sure.
Taken from the last account statement.

Two rather obscure questions after booking my first AY flights.
I've currently got 10F booked on an A321 and I just wanted to confirm it has a window? There's no seat in front because of the emergency exit door, but I just wanted to make sure that the window just behind the door is mine (I'm planning on filming/reviewing the flight).
My second flight is HEL-HKG (1645-0725) and I'm keen to capture the sunset and sunrise. Should I sit on the left or right side? I'm thinking the left as it'll get the sunrise in the morning too?
Many thanks!

What's the use of booking travel companion on the same ticket on SH flights as Plat? Easier seat selection? Anything else? On LH you get the economy comfort when available, but on SH that doesn't matter (except for LRH on A350?)..

Does comfort really apply to all? That was news to me.
As for SH I'd say it is very important to book on same ticket orherwise seating will be somewhere between impossible and inceedible cumbersome. There is no guarantee that the companion will be able to even pay for a seat in ASR and at time of checkin seat map may be very limited. Sometimes non-staus pax are "locked down" ie at check-in 100% of seats are shown as occupied and only way to be seated together is for status pax to move to 58Ö or whatever seat is next to companion

Comfort has always worked for me too. But is there anything else except the seat selection? I'm doing a multi-city with a companion only on one of the legs and wondering if getting us on the same booking is worth the effort (or even possible, not sure yet)...

For seat selection reasons, I always try to have everyone on the same booking. It comes really handy when flying e.g. trans-Atlantic w/ AA and you can seat everyone in MCE fro free, which otherwise would cost in the ballpark of 150$ per pax per segment 
Also, I always thought that the free drink & newspaper for "your travel companion" would only be applicable if you are on the same booking.

Whether or not two persons are on the same PNR is not visible for cabin crew. I've offered the drink to someone I've had a nice conversation with.

Hi guys,
I just booked 2 LATAM tickets through expedia. All my previous flight bookings on OW airlines had always been displayed on my Finnair app as "future flight bookings" (albeit those previous flights were booked direct with the airlines).
Is this normal for LATAM that the reservation wont show on Finnair App?
Thanks!
