There is something I need help with. How would the Avios be calculated in following ticket? How do I know if it's AY ticket or QF ticket? Same goes for fare calculations that combine eg. AY on outbound and AA on inbound.

HEL AY X/SIN QF SYD 845.40MNN0S0CZ QF X/SIN AY HEL 474.36ZNN0S7CZ NUC 1319.76 END ROE 0.933877
Thanks to whoever posted it from ITA Matrix. Lots of work to be done to escape the AY only box.

I understand there is a lot of trust involved. Kind of I failed that already as the AY tier multiplier was applied only to the first fare component of a ticket - oops! In your case it is very easy to confirm the calculation: From the Finnair eticket receipt take the line Fare and multiply it by 6 to get AY Basic accrual. Cheapest tickets have very unproportional fare per grand total compared to more expensive tickets. Therefore yield tanks rapidly when moving from corporate priced tickets to something generic traveller thinks of a good deal.
