Also worth noting that S18 had been loaded as an A319 operation 10 weekly and E190 4 weekly. It then reverted back to an all E190 operation, like it did for this winter (before these capacity increases) and like it did for the S17 season.

S18 has now been changed back, so that an A319 operates 11 weekly and an E190 3 weekly.

Winter 18 is now updated in the GDS and showing both daily services as mainline 319 ops - no more Norra/Nordic Regional.

More available seats, obviously, which is great. A slightly better J class experience on A319s vs E90s (middle seat blocked) and from experience, more likelyhood of OneWorld status recognition and perks onboard - the AY crew are much better at this than the Norra staff, I find.

Having said all this, AY are notorious for chopping and changing...time will tell.

If Finnair operated everyflight in December excluding Christmas day which don`t think they operated
it meant an average of 97 pax per flight and as I type this OH-LXB A320 has just passed
by my window

Had a really good flight with Finnair from Helsinki to Manchester. Took around 2 3/4 hour's so the longest Embraer flight I've done. Aircraft was full. I'll do a more comprehensive review in the week. Helsinki airport is nice.

Trip Review - Helsinki too Manchester with Finnair

After I’d spent a really enjoyable weekend in Helsinki, a city I’d highly recommend for people to visit, and a good couple of hours plane spotting on the scenic terrace at Helsinki airport it was time for me to leave Finland and make my way back to England. I was flying with Finnair again but...
