The cheapest quote I got right now is a Finland Airways ticket (via HEL) for around 720.- EUR all incl. (open ticket, one free rebooking). I am not sure yet which date I have to go back exactly, so this free rebooking comes in handy.

As I have accumulated around 70.000 miles in my account right now, I was thinking about booking an award ticket with LH. Questions are as follows:

1) How much is rebooking on an award ticket? Is this possible at all?

2) How much would be the fees for this routing? Couldn't find it on the MM-homepage. Is this still a good deal compared to the all incl. price mentioned above?

3) Would it be a problem booking the award ticket through Fly&Smart? This would save me 10.000 miles but I am a little nervous that there will be no more seats left at the time of booking (weekend-flight).

Thank you so much,

Dan
1) I think 40 Euros.

2) Just start an online award booking. After choosing you rflights, you can see the taxes.

3) To get an idea of the availablity, try to book a ticket within the next two weeks. However, there is never a garantuee.
