Well, I guess I shouldn't expect the app to be updated with flight info when they can't even be bothered with flight info on their own website. This is just insulting, they refer you to the arriving or departing airport webpage to get the info!

Is my flight leaving or arriving on time? Don't ask Finnair! Ugh.

No flight status, no timetables. Just check local airport website :rolleyes:

Compare with AA where you will get the departure, departure gate, departure terminal, arrival, arrival gate, baggage claim and arrival terminal.

Additionally there is a link to the inbound flight and alerts for the flight.

Talking about AA & what info they provide: not sure if it was only a gimmick or not, but personally really loved it with the AA app, that it has even had log entries for when my suitcase was loaded on the plane...

C'mon, there is only so much an 8th grader can code in a week!

Fairly standard in the US. UA and DL also do this and a few more. Wish it were available in Europe but one can dream.


While the info is great, the app itself is terrible. Full of lags, frequently crashes and logging into AAdvantage takes forever.

So AY IT takes the next step (towards the bottom?)

Establishing "technology hub" in Malaga, run by Spanish company Wunderdog.

omg.

Standard response to requests will be mañana mañana or sorry we are out of office for siesta.

About their Helsinki office, Google says: "A 1-min walk from Molly Malone's Irish Bar"

Maybe now we get salad ordering in-app?

I am pretty sure we will!

Mission statement:
So the in-app salad order might be limited to rabbit food.

Bumping IT further away from your product offering guys makes things worse. Wow.
I remember the times in my previous company when I was the master of product solution process and understood just a little about IT(or logic), and I had an IT expert who understood a little about the process. We were a hacker of a pair to make things great when we could work together hand on hand. Thats how you should trim your solutions, not distancing the two.

Yeah, that is the way to go. Distance, physical or intelectual, never makes these things easier.

I must correct myself, it seems the company has a Finnish founder, while the main action is going to be in Spain. He says things like Jeez.
I see opportunities for marketing to adopt some of this language. Soon the poor meal service in business will be a scalable hybrid delivery model. Sounds much better than saying people should feel lucky they get anything to eat onboard.

The 8th graders have probably grown up and are now 18, teleworking from Malaga. Now they don't have to sell magazines by phone, they can design the AY website instead.

This actually makes sense. After all, they designed the original system while in the 8th grade, so 4 years later who is better positioned to take care of it?

From YLE: (sorry the copypaste in finnish)
”Finnair aikoo jatkossa myydä enemmän lentoja omien jakelukanavien, kuten verkkokaupan ja mobiiliapplikaation kautta. Yhtiö on ottamassa käyttöön järjestelmän, joka tunnistaa aiempaa paremmin asiakkaan, tietää tämän matkustushistorian ja tarjoaa yksilöllisempiä vaihtoehtoja.

Se tarkoittaa, että lentolipun hinta voi tulevaisuudessa vaihdella myös asiakkaan mukaan.

Myös monet muut lentoyhtiöt, kuten Lufthansa ja British Airways ovat vauhdittaneet myynnin siirtymistä pois perinteisistä varausjärjestelmistä.”

Waiting with horror these personalized IT solutions and ticket pricings.
