Buy a flex ticket, if you want to change and there is availability in “flex”, you should be able without paying fare difference.
I think it is fair to assume that Finnair needs more than three fares per route. That is where the booking classes come in to play. Of course they could be more open that changing a flight might incur additional costs but afaik, on every airline one must pay extra if a ticket is changed to higher booking class.
I am quite happy to pay 300€ for a flex HEL-LHR return ticket rather than 1000€+ for a Y class ticket which gives me free change to any flight.
