Swiss CS100 MAN-ZRH in J with bonus go around! (with photos, full length video)

[TCASAlert]

As soon as Swiss announced they'd be operating the CS100 from Manchester, I decided I had to book to get a ride on their new toy! A couple of weeks after delivery, I was able to get a seat for £100, and shortly before check in I got an email asking if I'd like to upgrade to business for an extra £80. Since this gave me access to the lounge at Manchester and a full cooked breakfast onboard, I went ahead with the upgrade. I was getting a little worried near to the flight as I had a tight, 90 minute connection in Zurich, ordinarily alright but almost every single CS100 departure from Manchester had been delayed in the run up to my flight. The day before, the LX391 suffered a 3h40m delay, which would completely ruin my flights for the rest of the day. After visiting the Aspire lounge at Manchester, our flight was delayed by around 40 minutes due to a technical fault with the aircraft. It was going to be tight, but we could still do it at a push. That was before we got a go-around...

I booked a room at the narita rest house for 43 pounds as travelling on the local train takes about 1 hour 20 mins (definitely choosing haneda next time as it's quicker and cheaper)

(Full flight Japan airlines 787 from Tokyo to Helsinki with ATC) I arrived at a self checkin machine where it ended up breaking when i scanned my passport, i was shown to the checkin desk, they only printed my narita-helsinki flight probably because of the machine breaking, once arriving at helsinki, the transfer security was troublesome with the girl saying i cant go through unless i have a boarding card for manchester and the only way to get my boarding card is by going through security to get to the transfer desk, very stupid idea or should i have gone back to the gate to where the finnair agents are? Either way i had like 30 mins to get to the next flight. Anyway while she was also saying the same thing to another man, i moved my trays to the other sec...

I arrived after my finnair flight 2 hours before, i went straight to the JAL gate and sat there for a bit.


Went toilet, came back, people came, I went away, not much to do at helsinki though.

Extra's trip report Video
Flight Report Video (including Northern Lights) I was able to film on both sides of the aircraft so that was good and the crew were happy for me to film at the door and they were very friendly The cabinn crew were good, the food was very nice, i dont normally like honey mustard from supermarkets but this was lovely I was recording the sunrise but then halfway through the window shades started to turn on sending it a funny color so i asked the crew if i could turn my window back to light as it wasnt working so she...
