It's now official:
Co-operation between Finnair Plus and Swiss International Air Lines will end on March 31,2006. After that date, it will no longer be possible to collect Finnair Plus points for flights with Swiss.
Points earned from previous flights with Swiss may be registered retrospectively for six months following the end of co-operation. Award tickets must be purchased by no later than March 31, 2006. These tickets may be used under current regulations up to twelve months after the date of purchase.
I guess Finnair decided not to switch over to *A after all...
