Finnair news

I have 4 AY J flights booked, September and December. Hopefully it will all be dusted by then.

Or depending on your route you might hope for a cancellation and rebooking with a partner. Someone recently got rebooked onto Qatar to come back instead and had 2 Qsuite legs which i think is a worthy trade.

HKG-HEL-FCO and COP-HEL-HKG, first set would be ok, not sure of much choice for the return. All are J rewards.

The ongoing Finnair strikes/issues this year have been quite disappointing.

I was due to fly with Finnair in March and it was announced the day before my flight that there would be a big strike on the day of my flight with many flights cancelled. I couldn't risk not getting to my destination, so rocked up to the airport the day before and asked to change my flight. They agreed and I flew out the night before I was originally booked (no change fees paid).

Another flight that I took with Finnair in March was cancelled at the last minute. This was unrelated to the strikes - the inbound plane could not land due to the weather. Fair enough, but as it was the last flight for the day I had to get a hotel for the night. Finnair did nothing to assist with booking a hotel and just told me to find something and keep the receipts. I filed a claim to get reimbursement for the hotel and Ubers to/from the airport the day after, which was two months ago. I'm still waiting for Finnair to process a refund for these costs. Not impressed with that.

Certainly watching this thread with interest. Flew with AY to Spain end of April , dodged the AY strikes and the 16 hour power outage in Spain,. Have two flights with AY on our return journey mid June, fingers crossed.
