Rudimentary Finnair Threads Index

[Pteropous]

I was collecting some Finnair posting statistics for the ongoing TalkBoard voting on a FinnairPlus forum, and as a side product, I found myself with a list of AY-related threads… Not sure if this is much use; some threads are a quite old already, but perhaps it can help someone struggling to find relevant information.

Most threads are from this forum (OEFFP), but some are from elsewhere in FT (indicated in brackets).

Great lists-you guys really show enthusiasm! I suggest to the moderators that these two posts be moved to the future Finnair Plus forum, maybe even as stickies.

[hermanni]

moved to the future Finnair Plus forum

There's going to be a separate forum for Finnair? Great!

Yes . There will be a Finnair forum. Look on this link and this link and this link

[Mwenenzi]

The new Finnair Plus forum is alive

[alanw]

Please continue to follow this thread in the new forum.

[tommy777]

Congrats on your own forum, Finnair flyers!

Don't forget to still stop by the SAS forum every once in a while

[kaiflyer]

somewhat OT, but the new Finnair Plus Forum will probably soon surpass the Antarctica Forum (Travel&Dining: Destination >> The World) in number of Threads and Posts

Let's keep up the good work

[nordic]

There seems to be very few trip reports on AY on Flyertalk.com. I expanded my previous post in this thread to include some trip reports posted on a.net. See the second post on this thread (the new links are on the bottom of my post). I hope this is not against any policies of flyertalk.

[Pteropous]

Playing with the Beta Search reveals that there seems to be some 191 Finnair-threads in the Other European FFP forum, created betwwn 1999 and 2007. I think some of these are so old that they originate from the old FinnairPlus forum that existed long time ago, and was merged with some other (then) quiet fora.

Anyway, here's the list of threads, simply sorted alphabetically, for sake of nostalgia if nothing else.
