Hey,

I've been reading the site for a while now but this is my first post. A lot of stuff has come up and now I need to make a couple trips this year between HEL and IAD/BWI. Only thing is that fares seem to be ridiculous right now...

I've tried Expedia, UA, ITA (though I know im not using it to its fullest), skyscanner.. and I can't find tix for less than around 700€.

My dates are flexible and I wouldn't mind making a couple of the trips MR's (poss HEL-FRA-SFO-IAD... something like that). The trip I would really appreciate help on is as follows:

A) HEL-IAD/BWI (MR prefered) Staralliance flights (UA/CO/LH prefered) must be in DC june30-july2 (can stay up to a week on either end of that period).

PLS PM me if there is some special way that I am missing that I can get more reasonable fares (either more miles for same price or lower price).

Thanks in advance!
