364 hours before your flight each time you fly from Helsinki Airport on a Finnair flight to London, Manchester or Edinburgh and when you return to Helsinki Airport on Finnair
flight"

So why would I do all this since it does not make things easier for me whatsoever.
My optimistic guess is that it's a trial with the intention of implementing a more seamless system in the future.
