Back to HEL was already the first leg of my trip to NGO.
Interestingly AY also sells cheap oneways and openjaws via HEL. As an example, my daytrip to WAW was constructed as an openjaw HEL-WAW//CPH-HEL* and the above mentioned WAW-HEL-BUD. Opens up lots of opportunities.
* the CPH-HEL leg priced out at as "promo fare 50€"(!) - but only as part of the oj.
I have noted this increasing trend too and if your schedules allow, I would advise to look into "interesting" combos. To my surprise I saw a few weeks ago that adding a domestic leg HEL-XXX into my ticket return produced a good decrease in total ticket price, something I have never seen happen! I ended up flying that unnecessary segment too as it was not much further from my destination, while I wanted to avoid hiddencity ticketing and problems arising from it
