Imagine if one ultra-rich realized they still have to pay for perferred seating on a business class ticket at check-in.

We noticed this behavior on Finnair flight from HEL about a month ago, think we headed to Spain. Good thing they eyeballed the offending bags and mine is well within size limits.

Weight enforcement will be tough because I only bring the bare minimum workwise and it's still up there. And no time to check bags or lose them at transfer points, and all the content is either fragile or my meds...

From Facebook comments: "Finnair 100 – is that the price of a checked bag?"

Partner award changes?
 

Are there changes to partner awards (AA, JL, etc?)

None announced, but iirc those are rarely announced in advance, they just happen one day and that's it.

I can confirm from last week. Went to pick up BP from the desk and was asked to put my carry-on on the scales. I complied after removing the heavy laptop backpack from the top of it..

Asked about why they weighted the bag and he said it was new instructions from Finnair. I shut up and just kept wondering myself how on earth it would work with the scales at the check-in, but just a few travellers stopping by there nowadays...

Reportedly, they have hand scales at the gate now.

Does anyone know if oneworld Emerald/Sapphire will also be able to take a carry-on for free on Superlight fares? The press release mentions Finnair Plus tier members but does not reference oneworld elites. Given how stingy AY has become, I'm not hopeful...

I expect that with Superlight you board last, similar like with SK or US carriers, and that they enforce it based on the boarding group. So if you are OWE/OWS, I expect that you skip the enforcement.

Let‘s see about the implementation.

Can we officially declare AY to be a true LCC now?

I don‘t see the low cost.

perhaps its a LQC 😀 Low Quality Carrier 🤷‍♂️ or a LQSC

It s more high costs, low service - welcome to the new world. Customer satisfaction? Up your.......

I think AY is shooting themselves in the foot by adding more cost to the award flights. I'm guessing that the implementation work of adding the logic to IT bits and parts wasn't free work either and I will be quite sure that people will not be booking more award flights with a such complicated pricing structure for Regular Jane and Joe

There will be certainly a smell surcharge intorduced on the next round

LVV.
Low Value Vehicle

It's the old Finnish anecdote of "What do you mean bad service? We don't have any service!"
