AY used to have their cheapest fare from SYD to points in Europe (via codeshare on BA SYD-BKK and on to HEL) booking in 'R', which was a great earner for AA - 1.5EQP as well as the 100% Elite bonus if PLT/EXP. AA still think that it is a business class bucket. EDIT: Actually just found they think it's a full economy bucket: https://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/e...es/finnair.jsp
There are still good R fares on AY available LHR-HKG (min 6 days from memory).

In one sense going from HEL to SIN is understandable. While SIN may have led you to HEL, the fact that you are in HEL will probably mean that you are more likely to SIN, which is a negative virtue - called ViCE.
