They are electronic. Somewhere in the Finnair Plus web site they still mention paper vouchers. This is wrong. Originally Posted by kauppias

You can see your vouchers on your points page, it is the fourth tab after points, points to expire and expired points. You can use them to upgrade other people. Which is nice.

Yes, they are one-way, and they are one-leg. (a longhaul flight with connection in HEL requires 2 europe-vouchers and 2 longhaul-vouchers to be upgraded on all 4 legs)Originally Posted by kauppias

I was wondering since the certificates can be used for a 2/1 classic award ticket is the gold certs limited to europe 2/1 or vsn it ne used for any destination? Any knowledge?

I don't have the personal knowledge of this, but my understanding of the rule is that the "4 vouchers converted to a 2for1" is not limited to Europe. It is limited by availability though (as the first ticket must be redeemed for points only)Originally Posted by kauppias

It's for coach only which makes it really, really unattractive offer...very few people who need to fly a lot (to have FF status to begin with) want to fly in coach for leisure (at least I don't know anyone personally who would..)...but hey, that's why it's called Finnair Minus to many!

Also, coach tickets are so cheap anyway (especially on most, if not all, flights where you would find award availability in the first place) so even 241 deal with taxes isn't really good use of points (IMHO).

Ouch, I didn't know this and their site doesn't even mention this limitation. From reading the tier benefits, it clearly looks like any "classic" bonus-ticket can be turned into a 2for1. Originally Posted by NoWindowSeat

So this is a limitation on top of the fact that the redeemable seats are only available in a very limited amount and there will be added YQ et.al....
Really, really, really , really , really , really unattractive

As Swedish still is official language in Finland, one could claim that the text stated in swedish still is "legally binding" or whatever, probably without any luck. Not fun to be a part of the finish minority population these days, I guess.

In defence of AY (who would have thought I'd write this sentence ) the calculation probably goes like this
4 s/h upg is 40k points
1 classic s/h award is also 40k points
So the value of an upg voucher is 10k points, which you can use as the above options.
Clearly stating things is not a forte of AY+, we all know that
