Please, someone onboard AY1 or AY2 tomorrow, we need a good trip report with pictures here in FT.

And it looks like OH-LWA will start LAX route.

No. Unfortunately not. I had to buy 2 separate tickets. I figure my biggest risk is I have to pay a change fee.

Lax can be a bit of a zoo at times but lets hope for the best, and plenty of later flights too... Can they check you in at HEL for the return?

I had to move my AY2 from tomorrow to Tuesday a few weeks ago but excited for the new route. Loads looked low in J when I booked.

Remember that if the security is packed in TBIT you can also use the security in T4 and then walk airside through the connector to TBIT.

Now that AY1 is in the air, it's time to start waiting for your reports. Preparty at the gate?

Btw, while the new J amenity kits have been advertised, there hasn't been a single mention about the Y+ amenity kit. Did they get rid of those, or are they still the same, or updated, too?
