Finnair to launch Melbourne-Helsinki flights

I tried booking similar HEL-BKK-MEL via multicity. Found PE on first leg and BC on second. However when I proceeded it showed an error. When I rang them they indicated that there is no BC BKK-MEL,, this was the other night. However doing same search again the BC is still there.

Did you figure out how to get around this?
If it’s inventory control, then as soon as they select HEL-BKK it will zero out BKK-MEL.

If you call and just ask for BKK-MEL, without mentioning HEL-BKK at all, they should be able to see it.

However, if they hold that, the HEL-BKK will automatically zero out.

Actually i just rang them and realised potentially why. The layover time is 1hr 45min which doesnt qualify the MCT. Hence why i cannot use multi-city option. And booking separate tickets would be stressful as I will need to recheck-in again at BKK.

If it’s AY to AY on AY stock, they will through check on separate tickets and if you’re on the same flight number, the risk of a misconnect is low. May not work for Qantas tickets mind you.

So you saying booking 2 separate tickets will work from a timing perspective?
