Well, did you notice the visible cabin in only like 12 rows? Behind that door is the customer marsuhäkki-cabin and what is shown here is just the area for Staff ID90 travel

They seem to have erased the old Journey tunes from Spotify

Well Sibelius was his great-grandfather

WAV! It feels like they are preparing to release a new CD-collection in the milestone-shop!
Also funny, if you click on "Audio sample" instead of download, you will get the full tune but as mp3!

This news had a memory awaken in me. In 2018 they released a "soundscape" for the East-meet-west campaign, with muzak meant to make you "Hear the taste". I have those tunes stored somewhere, as they handed out headphones with a built in mp3-player as give-away for the celebration of some inaugural flight. I got two sets, as I did a quick turn-around!

And I must admit the meal experience was altered when listening to the sounds.
So if their soundscapes are that powerful I think they should revive the concept. They could add tunes that makes the food feel more plentiful, the seat cushions more soft and supporting and the flight time shorter!

Nothing beats King of the Road, especially after you've heard it ten times in a row, waiting for Janica to pick up.

Destination: Bangor, Maine. I must be one of very few AY pax who has actually landed at Bangor airport on an AY plane. (Going to JFK but a thunderstorm had us divert.)

Dang, that brought back some memories!
Hiss, pops and artefacts, I think it was recorded on one of those loop-tape-reels. You knew exactly when the sound would fade or crackle or abruptly cut over to the start of the song again.

I just saw the much criticised Finnish repatriation flights from MCT are with DAT 320. Including a fuelstop at HBE.
War and everything, but i would have chosen to stay in Oman instead of paying 2400e for a middle seat in that marsuhäkki.

Not even AY coded, no TP.

Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs did charter directly from DAT. Came in at about 10,000 DKK per pax. They departed from DXB.

Considering the current seat availability from Asia to home, 48h seat guarantee is god tier benefit. Even if it means suffering in economy. Collegues have awful or horrible routings back home.

Seems there is no transponder data until airborne for a bit. At least on Flightradar24

2400 or whatever it was in the news last week? Started with 2 and had 4 digits. Or have they lowered the price due to public pressure?
