So it will probably fill in for the A330E instead of an A330, as it does have the range for both HKG and LAX. Though the seat count in the classes varies a bit.

Had an equipment change on the ARN-ORD due to the one plane going tech. A340 scheduled on the way home Sunday, although the staff expected the A330 to be operational by then.
LN-RKP did not seem to have functioning entertainment in Plus and 30 AB and 30 GH did not have any system at all. Staff had tablets for everyone, although the batteries on mine gave out half way through the flight.

I complained about the poor experience on the A330 (EWR-OSL). That trip was amazing compared to the flight I took earlier today (CPH-ORD). Where to begin?
*Aircraft swap from newer plane with lie flats and Wi-Fi to older A340 with no Wi-Fi or lie flats and an old IFE system.
*My seat and the light at my seat were broken. I could manually adjust some positions but most button were broken. I pointed it out to the FA and she said, "well at least some work."
*The "chef" took off his shirt and changed into his chef smock in the galley with the curtain open (inappropriate).
*The chef also used his hands (no gloves or tools) to portion the greens for salads into bowls. I refrained from eating and called him out on this behavior. He mumbled something to his colleague in Danish (which I do not speak).
*Other FA was mixing a drink and the shaker slipped and spilled all over my arm. She handed me a napkin and barely grunted an apology.
*The light at my seat kept falling out of the seat and landing on my head/shoulder. The FA asked me if I broke it!?!
*We arrived late and had to wait for a gate at ORD, which capped off an annoying flight.
I wish that SK would have notified me of this change as I would have booked elsewhere. I paid for biz tickets and feel robbed by the poor experience. The FA's lack of feeling (could care less) added salt to the wounds.

I guess EWRFlyerAL was on LN-RKP (the Ex-LAN bird), so at least the delay couldn't have been so bad. Anyway, expecting the new cabin and then boarding LN-RKP has to be a huge disappointment. They should really have spend the extra $ to upgrade that one as well.

Last few days SK943 was operated with SAS planes (LN-RKP, LN-RKG, OY-KBI, LN-RKO), only flight showing any delays was on the 22nd on OY-KBI.

Saw that SK998 (PVG-CPH) is delayed 3 1/2 hour, anyone know if there are gremlins at play? Curious to know if further delays might be expected.
Edit: slow internet, but it looks like the inbound from CPH (SK997) was delayed 4 hours. Hoping for an extra delay st PVG so that we can get compensation
