I don't know how much this has to do with AY, except that there's a codeshare agreement on the PVG route, but I created a wiki which enables us to see all schedules at a glance. Feel free to amend if and when needed. Still waiting for that KEF flight to materialize...

Thanks for the wiki, but I think you got the current Juneyao PVG-HEL schedule mixed up with AY 88 schedule..?

J is ridiculously priced at almost 1000 EUR return. I hope they will look into this before the flights actually start.
The schedule is very nice, almost as if the whole route has been planned so that there's demand on the tag flight as well.

For tourism, the schedule is wasteful both in terms of how many nights you need to pay accomodation for and annual holidays you need to keep. Again, I suppose you could take the Friday morning on U3, and the return on something else though.

Okay, it looks like 3U has only loaded flights until 25OCT. 
Edit: the flights with a stop at HEL are loaded until 25OCT. Starting 28OCT, the route operates nonstop CTU-CPH again. I wonder if that really is their intention.

Are you doing a same-plane return on 16SEP? Should be doable with the plane on the ground 1 h 45 min, at least if there's OLCI.
