Same with my LAX flights late Oct/early Nov, seatmap shows new config both ways. AY seems heavily focused on the US market with the updated airframes. Makes sense, of course, as not many biz destinations alive in Asia yet, outside SIN (which is on the short list for a good reason) and maybe something in Japan..

Look at offers from Sweden. AY is selling PE to several US destinations but not eg DEL. I would interpret this so that there is a plan to introduce PE at some date in the future for these destinations, right?

PE is not cheap.

AY has sold to US Premium Economy for years without own PE.

Like selling now to many destinations and it's first AY to JFK or DFW and US domestic is by AA

BKK is offered as PE destination but that is via SIN, ICN and Japan those are actually JL flights.

Interesting. My LAX end of Sept still shows the old config.

I flew on the launch flight for Finnairs new business seats (it was not a media event, just a normal flight) and their new improved onboard service with improved amenity kits, dining, drinks and bedding.
Bolding is mine, in the article its the standard useless amenity kit. I really hope we get new ones.

I haven't seen anywhere that the amenity kit would be improved. The blogger must have made that one up. There are other oddities there as well but in general I agree with the views of the seat.

Flying HEL-JFK in the new A330 in July. Selecting seats for the family right now -- any thoughts on row 31 bulkhead seats in Economy? They don't charge extra for them but they look like they have extra legroom on Aerolopa

Does anyone know if AY steam cleans the headrest area of the seat after every flight? Since there's no extra covering at this area, I feel yucky thinking of the amount of scalp grease and hair product (and odour) that may be left over by previous passengers.

My ORD-HEL flight on June 28 looks like it's old config? Or maybe I'm reading it wrong?

I flew ORD-HEL a few days ago. OLCI had the seat map of the old configuration but when I got on the plane it was the new one. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked the seat. The privacy, comfort and spaciousness far exceeded my expectations. The wireless charging was my favourite new addition. I flew to AMS yesterday in the old configuration and was actually really missing the new seats.

I flew 2 days ago ORD-HEL with brand new seats and I missed a seat where you push the button and you are up and sitting again.
I wonder how older and reduced people come up from lying position with this new seat.

And that extra mattress is a joke. Everytime you move, it comes along so finally it's on the floor.
