There were plenty of upgrade space available, so good use for my vouchers when upgrading the whole family.

Thanks. Decided to go for MIA r/t instead of OJ, partly because the price (528€) was suprisingly good for high season (outbound just before New Year). OTOH, it's economy campaign, so not that many points this time.

Its characteristics include a "bottleneck" style security check in a narrow corridor resulting in sometimes huge queues, no shopping or restaurants apart from one tiny duty free, a Pizza Hut take away counter and a shabby beer bar and limited seating space so pax regularly have to stand or sit on the floor while waiting for flights.
MIA can be quite a good experience but not when flying AY.

While the concourse itself is more or less like F with a tiny DF shop and Pizza Hut, security and the lounge are better than at F.

Second flight, AY155 is coming back, it was operated until March 2016, 2-3 per week.
After April 10th, all SVO flights are Norra E90 (now AY153 is mostly A319, some E90 from DEC16)
