It is a short turnaround ...
According so some comments made on the other TLL thread, yes it is fine. When doing a b2b from HEL you just walk off, wait, and walk back on.

If anyone could enlighten to the error of my ways it would be much appreciated!

Also, I just wanted to check that I am right in thinking if these are booked as a BA codeshare they count towards the 4 eligible flights?
There has been a website error for 2 weeks that means that Tallin flights do not show for the summer season 2017 onwards. You need to book elsewhere or calling BA by phone

Alternative workaround is to select dates on ba.com in February prior to the start of the BA service commencing, then advance the dates to when you want to travel.

The A350 is a flatbed seat right? Just to state something which might seem obvious to people who know the configs of all the planes for all the airlines...

Yes, they do count. See section 02 here:

Yes it is

Get off the Plane walk up the stairs and just get back on again when boarding is called. It is literally passengers off and new ones on

Was trying to book on the Finnair website, will try BA.com

Thanks.

Edit: tried BA.com but get the same error as reported up thread.

See my noted workaround mentioned earlier. I tried it earlier today and it still works.

So don't use the multicity tool. Just get a quote for a return LHR-TLL for some random dates other a weekend in February. You should see the routings listed for connecting via HEL with BA flights to HEL and also BA codeshares of AY flights. Then just advance week by week to the date you need.

Another way to make it work is to add a hotel. Assuming you want one. This will let you choose dates from the start.

Not to me it's not.

Cheapest I can get it is around £360.

I can find return flights on May 13/14 with hotel for £500 but only the outbound LHR-HEL is on the A350 (maybe, aircraft type not specified). Thanks for all your help everyone but I think I'll give up.
