Shrimps, tasty!

Pasta. No Jerusalem artichokes as it reads on the menu card, but artichokes. Tasted OK, but what else to expect of pasta onboard? Though was definately not at all hungry after filling up at AA Flagship lounge.

Tiramisu

Breakfast, quite ok. Why on earth they have to put mushrooms everywhere!??

Service also on this flight was good and quite quick with low passenger loads. Surprisingly part of the crew (for instance purser) were Swedish, so not everyone at Airpro are Finnish! No plat-talk even on this flight, but it looks like they still carry some of those better pillows onboard, as we both had those placed on our seats.

Southern route will take 11h 15mins. Late take off as one passenger had paper problems and then truck taking plane off from gate didn’t work and had to get another one

Same menu HEL-LAX as always.

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1105eb840.jpeg

No pictures of the food, sorry.

Appetizer was good.

Chicken for main, nothing to write home about but edible. I feel sorry for the people who went for the “Indian” option, aka yellow erasers.

Dessert mousse, as no apple tarts were loaded.

Second service, avocado pasta. Inedible and I wasn’t the only one.
I had oatmeal.

Quality and presentation is what we used to have in Y some 5 years ago.

Crew was nice and sorry.

Im sure we have asked for only few same dishes day in and day out.

I asked purser yesterday when menus are changing, she said she will message catering, maybe she will have an answer today.

Its like the miniscule selection on the IFE its great for those who fly 1 time a year but not those who fly weekly...

Happily I can eat on arrival at the plaza premium 😀😀

Unfortunately I don't have access to Plaza Premium. But 10 Finnair business class meals more this month and would like to get something else for a while

It could be worth buying a dragon pass for access if you fly that much. I am not seeing many signs that ay would be improving...

Its really sad that they seem to think they can charge a premium price for service at this level...

I hope to be proved wrong but I guess only time will show.

Didnt AY invest in big catering facility at HEL some years back? Or was it some other facility?

I think you're thinking the Cargo COOL facility, since on the catering side they actually had a letter of intent signed with LSG sky chefs to buy it out but that didn't eventually work out and AY "had to" keep it. To my knowledge this is the facility from the ~1990s.
