HiFly's rare A340-500 in service for Norwegian International from its temporary HEL base. CS-TFX operated various busy routes holiday in the first 2 weeks of August this year. CS-TFX is the only A340-500 HGW version in pax service with a MTOW of 380t. The layout is still in Arik Air colors with a bar and lounge arrangement in business class. Norwegian allowed to choose biz seats for this flight without surcharge. The total cost of this ticket was only EUR 49 plus EUR 12 for a seat choice. Not necessarily the most exciting flight of my life, but nevertheless an interesting and rare sub-type on European routes.
