+100. 6 flights and 6 horrible experiences.


I didn't feel any of that TBH ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Overall I'd avoid flying them again. I plan on going back to Svalbard and Norway next winter and hope to avoid them altogether. Between Norwegian and Wideroe's expanded routes I believe it's doable.
Well it was the best option available to me at the time so hopefully I'll get lucky with a good crew. Hard product should be good regardless and it's an overnight flight so getting good sleep is the most important part anyway.

If they are still around during online check-in, I think you can select.  Phone rep wouldn't budge.  Wondering if it's a case of DROPR...
I saw one report of calling 48 before the flight that worked.

Felt it from the FA from EWR-OSL, from the baggage agent when Whyme and I landed in OSL, among others.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

77W LHR-JFK worth the extra 27.5k AA for F over J?

UA Polaris J 777-200 MUC-IAD (which would entail TLV-xxx-MUC and IAD-EWR in Y)

vs

AA 77W J LHR-JFK (Which would entail TLV-TXL in Y and TXL-LHR in Fake J)

Both available in F as well.

Thoughts?

Considering it's not real Polaris, option 2 is a no brainer.

If it was ex-FCO would your answer be the same? I believe that is a real Polaris route.

I believe you are correct. It seems only ORD is real.
