We received the enhanced cut down catering in yesterday’s Eurobiz 3 hr trip. A cheese salad roll and health bar . Understand that there are logistical issues in catering due to strike action , but to have no drinks available, other than tea/coffee, berry juice and water seems pretty stingy.
Why not hold off on cancellation in case there is an involuntary cancellation prior to departure which would then entitle you to a full refund?
Smart man! This thought did not occur to me to be honest and now it’s too late. I was in one track mind mode to ensure we’re not endangering our honeymoon plans.
don't say that I'm flying home with Qatar next month - I've been away five months and ready for homeSmart man! This thought did not occur to me to be honest and now it’s too late. I was in one track mind mode to ensure we’re not endangering our honeymoon plans.
With my luck, now our Qatar flights to Europe probably get cancelled, after what just went down in Iran
I think your best odds are to monitor. JQ likely won't be able to help you (and Qantas) as its a Finair problem. If it is cancelled by the time you're at KIX you can try asking the outsourced groundstaff but if the long haul to HEL isn't cancelled, they may still send you to HEL and then deal with it at HEL.
We had potentially similar issues with planned AY strikes on 17/6 and 19/6. Qantas were willing to reschedule our award flights, subject to availability and at a cost in points. We were flying on the 18/6 and 19/6. On the 17/6 , 143 AY flights were cancelled, We decided to wing it so to speak. Thankfully, our flights did not get cancelled, but the intra Europe flight had minimal catering provided.
Yep. Sounds about right.

Great news. I have 7 flights booked on Finnair over the next 4 months and was starting to get very nervous.Looks like the industrial action is now over and Finnair customers can once again book with confidence that the airline won't cancel flights en masse every few days. Thank goodness!
Deal reached in Finnish aviation labour dispute, strikes called off
Negotiations dragged on for over six months, during which Finnair cancelled more than 1,200 flights due to industrial action.
