'Finnair flights' sounds like AY coded and 'flown on Finnair' sounds like AY operated. 'Credited to Finnair ... at 250% of miles flown'. It looks like the key is 'bought through a different airline', such as a OW RTW!

Or can Matt be proved wrong?

My understanding was that he was referring to non-AY coded, AY-operated flights crediting at 250% (since AY wouldn't know how much you spent on the ticket since they didn't market it) but I could be wrong.
