Does one really need to be Platinum to receive basic customer service on AY

I would not characterise that as a plat talk.

Given that Lumo talk is more often than not limited to "Anything to drink?", I would call the previously mentioned being quite premium service...

Strange times: 3 350's going to NRT at the same time and 2 350's going to ORD.

You’re welcome! No nut rage on this flight! I’m little surprised that, there are 4-5 flights to OUL daily and they are quite full!

Anyone vaccinated and found flying easier = less paperwork?
Lot of debate here but little to no data points.

I sense more confusion over paperwork along with teething problems and red "VAX OK" stamps similar to US carriers with their DOCS OK stamp.

I guess that there is also debate within and between governments, and nothing concrete agreed.

I'm at the bottom of the priority list for vaccination anyway, but I tried Koronatietoni. It works (even for ancient and now worthless tests). But damn it looks easy to fake. I obviously don't encourage anybody to fake it, but it makes wonder how long that works until too many people cheat.

Free test certificate lowers the incentive to fake it. Upward of 200 eur cartel pricing was likely a real motivator to actually forge the document.

I just flew ARN-LUX on a turboprop. 2 hours 30 min. 30 pax on board. But free roll and nuts&dried fruit on board, and a free-flowing beverage service.
