My thoughts exactly. But for a couple it's still 400€, when in May you could get 1 week for 2 in the Med area with flights and a 4* hotel for 500€, so even they may think twice.

I agree with a previous opinion - full biz points and would have upgraded all AY segments to C. AY seems to be very "Finnish" in these offers - let's offer something, as other people (airlines) also do it, but still be careful not to offer anything that might be of actual value because then people may actually take up on the offer and have some "unjust" benefits.
