Lady was super helpful. Said initially that the HEL-TLL-HEL legs were on the AY code which gave a price of 300 something. The BA codes weren't an option. She then went on hold for about 5 mins, and came back saying she did it! Said she had to be creative and fiddle around with the flights a bit but managed to get all BA codes in the end.
Given that BA wants to cut costs in the call centre, the more ammunition we can give to internal people opposing such cost cutting, the better. [And you might put a smile on someone's face.]

Estonia will be launching a bunch of activities from April 2017 culminating in February 2020 celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Estonia in 2018.
Just a heads up to everyone - especially those already bored of the Old City of Tallinn after making several runs to and fro TLL :P

There is a £325 fare available for many dates in all months from now until September, however I am no longer seeing any availability for the £233 fare until December (available on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays that month).

Have managed to book this evening a trip for mid November, with a single overnight, at £233, including the A350 on the outbound (inbound was offered but don't fancy the early start for the TLL-HEL sector). Fare was available for all Fridays and Saturdays in November, and priced up the same while I was toying between the 11th and the 18th.

Yep, November weekends bookable on ba.com and can enter the exact dates, don't have to do the March dates and roll forward a week at a time routine.
BA codeshare flight numbers are the same but the Finnair flight numbers have changed. Same timings and still the A350 but AY831/2 are now AY1331/2.

Managed to get £280 fare in March (LHR-HEL-TLL/HEL-LHR). A350 both ways, but Finnair prime code on HEL-TLL, which I suspect is what pushed the cost up a little from £233 (couldn't get BA codeshare for that flight). No luck with any online booking systems - Amex got me the closest but was on a BA plane rather than A350 coming back. Propeller Travel were thankfully able to sort.
