Helsinki - Amsterdam
Finnair
Yay, this is why I like the Finnair: You get a complimentary VLML vegetarian meal without any hassless and free drinks. No matter how short the flight is, you always will. Most of the companies have given up all of the lunches, but not Finnair.
I want to thank the ATP travel agency as well. The ATP operates as following: they set up an email for the specific event where the special guests send their requests and they take care of the rest. I sent my email about the hotel and the flight and asked if they can give me a Finnair flight if possible, and order a VLML meal for me. Tada! I get a Finnair flight WITH a vlml exactly as I requested. It seems that most of the companies give up trying with the VLML, but I must give a big hand for ATP for doing it well.
The Finnair lets you check in by SMS, and I might try going through the airport security with my mobile phone only. This all gives me a nostalgic feeling about the history... From the time when you had to get your passport stamped, had to exchange the money (thank the euros!), had to get the paper tickets from the travel agency and had to queue to get the boarding passes (and preferably come in early to get good places)... But also: It was the time when they served good food on every flight without exceptions, when you didn't have to even question the on-board meal.
