Finnair’s Business Class AirLounge seat

it says those bulkheads are supposed to be ‘for a fee’, which seems to be waived for some reason for QF issued awards.

Sounds like there are more that's waived for QF Reward bookings other than bulkheads

Sorry! Don’t follow?

when is your flight? I too secured the seats via the AY app… it says those bulkheads are supposed to be ‘for a fee’, which seems to be waived for some reason for QF issued awards.

I’d be interested to hear if the bulkhead seats stick and whether or not you get moved!

They stuck for me. I booked the bulkhead window seats last year to fly in April/May this year and although it always said unconfirmed (or some such) they did stick. I'd be interested to know if someone books them and then gets bumped. IIRC, all window seats were the same fee status, so I'm not convinced it's the bulkhead which attracts the fee.

Our flights are 12-13 May, 2026. I guess that gives them plenty of time to move us if they are so inclined, but 2A and 2L are still showing as 'confirmed' on our booking today, 23 days after booking.

I’ll report back, but looks promising per FlyingFiona.

Our experience late April on QF award flights is that preselected seats 2A and 3A did stick on AY132. Have preselected same seats for upcoming return QF award flight AY131 .

That’s good news!

Confusing that apparently not even Finnair’s FF members get the bulkheads for free unless platinum. But happy that it is the way it is!

Booked 2A HKG-HEL (overnight flight) and it stuck then proceeded to get what I regarded as very solid sleep for 10 hours, easily a record for me. Normally struggle to get much more than a couple of hours broken sleep on any long haul flight.

These seats are a big YES from me, would be more than happy to fly AY exclusively between Asia and Europe going forward.
