Yeah, I didn't check future schedules. DY4280 arrives 0720, but not in january apparently. So it is AY643 for you then.

What about DY4284 (39€) then AY5929 and AY996? Also possibly with AY633 and throw-away return (79€), unless someone knows a cheaper origin for the throw-away return sector.

Yes, that is good routing for someone looking for ticket now and has no made reservations yet. But she/he is missing sauna and towel-gate totally.

Almost. I just needed to tweak it a little bit. I have now ferry, ARN - HEL, TKU - ARN, (direct return) ARN - LHR, LHR - HEL. 6 flights for 150. ^

Thanks to Furry's Travellink code and AY releasing one seat to R, just bought for our 14JAN LHR lounge event HEL-ARN (ARN-HEL later) for 66,72€. ^


Looks like row 5 on AY643 is full of tiers, so I go to 6.
