16.50 now and still no sign of the AC leaving the gate. Im on board. Old style 330. So didnt get to experience the new C as planned. The upside : individual airnozzles 😁. Plane landed at 14.25 from SEA so HEL ground operations for turnaround do NOT impress. Crew seems nice enough. New style menu concept. Now approaching 3hr delay on arrival. EU261 here we come 😉

The Asian routes hog a lot of planes because they don't run on 24 h rotations anymore. Of the 7 A330's four are in service (3 with the new cabin and 1 with the old).
In case there is a delay which is just slightly over the compensation threshold, it's very easy for the airline to make their way out of it. They just need to show that the extra few minutes were beyond their control.

meanwhile the new.C mealserive is good I think….
Crew also good - even with the AY speciality of ‘ smacking the galley locker doors shut really loudly’ 😉
mini cabin only 5/13 Heard one guy bought a c class UG at the gate for EUR 500

AY 9 has been scheduled for an 359 for tomorrow and Wednesday for a while already (maybe to allow for scheduled maintenance of the new cabin 330's), but on Tuesday we will see the new cabin on AY 9 unless there are new surprises.
