Finnair has managed yet another unnecessary screw-up: washing their A321 seat covers using water, when dry cleaning would have been the approved method to avoid the fire repellent treatment to deteriorate. The previous screw-ups included ground collisions that damaged one of their wide body aircraft for instance. And this is on top of the incredibly long period of strikes and flight cancellations.
They had to manufacture new seat covers, and eight A321s were out of action. I was slightly inconvenienced due to this as well, as my flight to Stockholm was cancelled. Fortunately there was another flight that they put me on.
Although it was an hour earlier... and I was coming in 1am from the previous trip. I left the airport six hours before returning back there again, managed to get a couple of hours of sleep and wash my clothes, but I was tired. Granted, I would have been tired even if the time was seven hours instead of six. So I can only look at the mirror.
