Thanks. I'll be on 1116.
I've found there are live timings on the Swedavia web. Earlier today it showed up to 23 minutes in T2 while no more than about 10 in T5, but by now it's in single digits on both/all three.
I just wish there was an airside connection betwen T2 and T5. I really liked dinner I've had in T5 last year and would prefer to repeat. Especially if the flight turns out to be delayed.

The situation at ARN has never been anywhere near as bad as at that certified and unmitigated disaster called Schiphol, and Swedavia has announced that they have recruited lots of staff, and things will improve steadily from now on. Believe them at your peril, of course.

Quick question for OLCI upgrade with miles. If someone is interested at the OLCI miles upgrade, but doesn't have miles in the account, are Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers fast enough to deposit? I've only done it once to buy tickets with miles, and that transfer was basically instant. Just curious what other experiences were. Thank you!

Weird
Just checked in a nephew + gf AMS-CPH.
3 rows of J, so 12 seats. 6 occupied, one "unavailable" and 5 open.
€74.60 for him (Explorer)
€73.00 for her (not a Flying Blue member)
Took it, just to spare them 4+ hours of aggravation and standing in line.

Less than upfare from Eco Light to Eco Flex. Good value.

Nobody needs a pasta salad with a slice of salmon; no free middle seat on the E295; the lounge will no doubt be packed and the catering sucks; but . . . I figure it's a price worth paying to spare two fairly inexperienced flyers going on vacation half a day of misery.
Lowest OLCI UG price I've ever seen on this route with any regularity is 69. I recall 59 once, but that was probably a pandemic special.
Now I'm still struggling to explain that 1.60 difference between 3D and 3F.
