Cannot agree more.

Many of the runners here will be crediting to BAEC, and one of their sister airlines uses a lot of ATR72s to shuffle UK pax to DUB! And for the short hops, they are perfectly fine.

Thanks for the idea for this trip OP.
Indeed! Fully agree!

All the other planes on that route are Airbus A320 or thereabouts. The HEL to TLL connection is a dinky propeller plane in all cases.
There are NORRA EJets that you can book on this deal if you look carefully to and fro Tallinn.

Not to say the ATRs are bad though - plus you really can't expect more on a 35 minute flight.

Indeed, at least last flight of the day HEL-TLL at 23.45 as well as first flight out of TLL at 06.10 seem to be E190 every day, except Sat evening HEL-TLL and Sun morning TLL-HEL.

Thanks OP for posting this deal. I booked a TLL-LHR-TLL run for early Feb for 260 euros, flying A350 HEL-LHR-HEL.

Plus credit 20TP in each direction... which is like 1TP per min!

3 runs for BA Silver

Has anyone done this 3 times for 600TP and BA Silver? Am thinking it may be the cheapest way- and least flying- for 600TP.

Really a piece of cake. A constructive way of spending a quite weekend, I'd say.

Now the math problem: How many weekends to make LtGGL?

How are you booking this? On BA.com I'm only offered direct flights and when I do a multi-city itinerary BA throws an error. Is this one for the BA call-centre?

I gather BA.com won't show the connecting Finnair flights, only its own direct service.

This post might be helpful - https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/27493802-post162.html

You could also check ITA Matrix to find options that work before you call.
