Iberia points when flying Finnair before September 2015
Hello,
on August this year I flought LLA-HEL-BCN with Finnair (first leg operated by Flybe) with booking class Z, and I didn't get any Avios at all. I can see in the Iberia Plus website that after September 2015 the booking class Z should give me 0.25 avios per mile, but Iberia customer service says that before September this booking class didn't give any avios. Is there any place where I can confirm that? I've been looking everywhere with Google but I didn't have any luck this far, I hope somebody in Flyertalk might know something!
Thanks!!

Flybe wouldn't earn miles anyhow. In the Spanish version of my blog I did a chart of partner earning and indeed Z class with Finnair did not - as of July 2015 - not earn any Avios.

I didn't realise that IB+ had altered booking code eligibility, so cheers for the heads up there...

The weird thing is that I received Avios for the Flybe segments 3 out of 4 times that I flew with them, and the number of Avios was bigger than the 100% of the miles flown, even though it was Economy Discount, so I guess I shouldn't complain

Thanks for your help!

LLA-HEL flights are operated on wet-lease basis so they should earn points like normal Finnair flights. Flybe Finland (actually NORRA as they changed their name ~6-12 months ago) is oneworld affiliate airline.
