Feels good to beat someone who has visual of the runways 
Yeah, EQ swap, I figured as much - delayed departure and a flight plan filed late in the game. Operations must have felt like the jackpot when they realised there was a free 32B hanging around in the hangars.
*) Flightstats caught the EQ change to 32B already at 20:54EET. Flightaware caught the tail at 21:58EET, which is when transponder was turned on at gate 26.

LZM is apparently operational already now, a good example how the plans and reality will not always meet in airline business.
Another A321 to AY fleet and more to come in very near future.

Haha, it was just a lucky shot from my side! My plane spotting by computer can't ever compete with inside/on-sight info!

AY100 --3---- 09:50–15:25 and
AY100 ----5-7 11:00–16:35
Can they really turn around an A350 in 60 minutes?

I assume that CAN is canned again then? (har har)
Isn't AY61/AY62 just a ghost of the old flight numbering system, and AY99/AY100 the new flight number with a slightly adjusted schedule? (I can't find AY61/AY62 anywhere, but I have not looked very thoroughly)

Someone decided to make a minor schedule change and changed flight number at the same time?
AY99/100 is not published to GDS. I'd say they are the same, not a new rotation.

Just got an email from AY notifying my flight AY61 HEL-HKG on 3.10 has been cancelled. The schedule for AY61 was dep 17:10 arr 8:10.
The replacement flight in MMB is AY99 dep 17:25 arr 8:10.
Think this confirms the AY99/100 is a replacement for the AY61/62, not an additional service.
