First timer booking Finnair via Qatar award. When searching for Finnair flight thought Qatar (HEL>SEA), it appears as if it's available. But in order to "request" Qatar to book it, I need to transfer Avios to Qatar. Qatar explains they'll put a hold on it before booking the flight. So how likely are they to be able to book the Finnair flight? Will I be out on my luck stuck with Avios and no Finnair flight?
