Speaking of moves, I recall my gentleman move did give pluspoints for ONE late night move so with spouses it seems you need to make pluspointmoves EVERY day

Ord also has the new a330 configuration! I am flying in early June and it has the new seat.

So if you go out to dine with your partner, are you fine with being separated from her by a firm divider while enjoying food and beverages?
Or would you prefer to see her and be able to talk to her meanwhile??

Any route can occasionally have aircraft with the new seats. Especially the A330 routes have a good chance of having the new cabin, as AY has only one active A330 with the old cabin (OH-LTM, which seems to fly mostly between HEL and ORD).

If I go out in order to dine, I most certainly choose some other venue than AY J.

Information on the upgrade policies from May was promised to be out "in April". Well, I guess there's still time...

FFlash

Only promise is they will tell in due time is that they will tell they will postpone the news about upgrade policies with the new cabins.
They are taking their time to think how they want all this since they dont have time to think in the meanwhile managing all the new problems

OH-LGG

Is this joke or what?



PE upgrades available from CS, no online service.

Hello? Is this AY in 2022 ?

When you thought it can‘t get any worse.

Wow.

They only had a few years to prepare the online upgrade tool!

Based on the wording, this would seem to be applying to all upgrades. So first they create a system where it's incredibly difficult for pax to be able to self-service upgrade and everything has to be done via CS. Then they start charging for using the CS.

How about waitlists? All waitlist requests via CS (at least my upgrades over my flight history have been 80% via CS waitlist) now +1k too?

Thats really pathetic unless they magically make the online tool work 😀🤷‍♂️😏

petteriusa

What are the odds that one can get these upgrades processed at the ticket counter or gate?

kauppias

recent report suggests cash only upgrades at airport 🤷‍♂️😏

They better start ostring some services atleast to LUMO 😏😏😀😀

Sucks that they are going this route when they dont have a working IT system...

Hi,
Managed to try this new cabin yesterday on the temp. equipment use on the HEL-AMS evening flight. I can just say that I love it more compared to the BA Club Suites.
Pros:
- spacious
- multi-functional in positioning
- large legroom compartment, sleeping would be no issue in whatever position
- lots of privacy
- lots of functional space/storage
- Touchscreen on the PTV was very good and smooth

Cons:
- seat material might not be comfortable for a long haul without the mattras
- quality of the seat - I happened to see some scratches on the TV monitors already (luckily it was just the paint and not the screen itself)
- SW used for the entertainment system - my TV set (luckily) went into a self resetting mode after we landed and stayed black after a few restart (by itself)
- cleanliness of the seat fabric - since the back of the chair will not be covered, how often will this be cleaned?
- difficult to reach small bags under the seat when in bed mode
- no place for shoes (pushing it under the chair when in bed mode?)
- too bad they did not have a small monitor on the handheld control (to have the flight path there as an option)

All in all, I am in the like team of this new cabin.

Cheers!
