Why don't housekeeping check this? Given its apparent frequency I really think they ought to. I swear, if it ever happens to me (although I do tend to unplug because I can't stand the light in the dark of the room) I'm going to leave my room like this in revenge...

Not sure I agree. It happened to me once on a delayed flight out of LHR on BA, and my claim went through practically in seconds. I was expecting some pushback but no. My brother was on the AF flight from KIX to CDG which made an emergency stop at GYD last week (for THIRTY hours!) and was...

Thanks for the help. The seat I selected is showing up in my QFF MMB, but it still shows as pending on AY's MMB. I tried contacting AY's support office by online chat last night and after 2 hours I gave up. I started off as 8th in the queue and sat on 4 for over an hour so I gave up - I...

Here's what I see - that one occupied seat is me. I've set up an alert as you suggested - which yes, I can do in the free version. Oddly enough I went into manage my seats in a different part of Finnair's website and could actually choose a window seat. It shows me this layout: So I...

Thanks so much, @SYD. Hawk eye at the ready!! 🧐

Oh thanks for letting me know. I did sign up just now to take a look but couldn't see how to do it so figured it was a paid version. I'll go back and learn how to use it for future searches. I'm a lowly Bronze travelling on a J reward (so, U class). Which means (according to their website) I...

I should have looked harder at their website...

Don't have it. Maybe someone could check for me? 🙏 AY132 on the 10/04/25

Yes :(

Anyone flown J on Finnair's A350-900 and found all the window seats blocked? This is for April 2025 so there's no way they have all been booked - they are blocked. Very not happy, Jan!

Thanks, good to know re points to budget for adding/changing flight, thanks. To be honest, I'm only doing a there and back trip so a OWA shouldn't be necessary...until you cop a look at some of the JL and CX points being asked for the same. The MH+AY route I've got my eye on comes in at...

Thanks for the thoughts @elanshin and @There'sOnlyOneJimmy - especially re MH dropping unticketed seats lickety split. I think I'll wait for the return dates to drop and see what my options are then. One option to avoid MH on my preferred dates is to use CI to get to Tokyo and then take an AY...

It's been 10 years since I last booked a OWA and the playing field nowadays is not at all the same, so I am going to build one in stages which I haven't ever done before. I'm looking for some confirmation from the more experienced out there that I'm on the right track. My current situation...

Same, only I couldn't find any Ultimate Everyone. Had to settle for Ultimate Home. Points also showed up before finalising purchase at checkout.

Not necessarily, and often, not at all. Depends on where you are and for how long. Explore both options :) Trains are an excellent way of travelling in Europe though and may be more comfortable given your situation. They are city centre to city centre, spacious, and (depending on where in...
