Sorry how is this 560 TPs? It’s 440 right?

LHR - HEL - LHR = 160
HEL - DXB - HEL = 280

Am I missing something here?

Still 440 is a great deal and there will be no faff of positioning flights (assuming you’re London/UK based) either!

My bad - I erroneously boosted the LHR - HEL to 140, not 80… you’re correct.

hi all, so went to book the HEL-AGP for august and turns out they've cancelled a load of flights to malaga in august only flying on selected days now. Looking to rebook to Lisbon instead however its flying on a DAT A320 operated for Finnair. Will that through up any complications when it comes to the tier points etc? its 2 weeks before my deadline to get gold

thanks

No you won’t have any problems with TPs etc. It’ll earn as if it were a normal AY operated service. This is true for all wet-lease arrangements including the current IB, I2 and AY wet-leases BA are using themselves right now

twilson1995

thats brilliant thanks! kinda gutted has had everything planned for malaga but I guess a DAT A320 will be a rare addition to the log.

Won't LIS-HEL rather than AGP be 40 rather than 80 TP though?

Toto1808

It won't. HEL-LIS is also 140TP as HEL-AGP and others in business class.

Ah! But most people fly ex AGP as the price is consistently cheaper? Got it.

Because it’s a short haul service those in economy have to pay for their food and drink on board!

I flew this route last year and even the cabin crew were embarrassed that the route wasn’t been treated as a proper long haul. They said that AY will only take notice if passengers complain.

Unfortunately, the new winter timetable for DXB has worse timings than before.

There’s a dedicated thread on this route on the AY forum.

Are these Finnair flights to Dubai any good for a run?

440 Tier Points for GBP 946 is a good value, especially if originating from London, however, there are a few things to notice.

- Unless you have BA Silver status or higher, there would be no lounge access, no complimentary seat selection, no priority check-in, and any additional benefits that comes with Business Class unless you pay the upcharge to Business Classic ( should be about GBP 100-150 per direction )

- Hotels in Dubai are expensive. If you are planning to overnight bear that in mind. Food&beverage is also expensive in Dubai compared to other European cities.

Thus doing 3 Sofia back-to-backs in Club Europe could accrue similar number of Tier Points for the same price but this once is more comfortable alongside with additional costs.

Thanks. I'm not entirely comfortable with back to backs (very low threshold for risk).

I was basically planning on doing the minimum stay, so I'll see what options might work.

Toto1808

This also could work from MAN and EDI.

I looked at doing LIS instead of AGP but the LIS flight doesn’t have a true back to back (believe plane does a night stop in LIS) so it’s less good for a pure MR. Would like in future to take an actual trip to LIS so I’ll keep the HEL-LIS flight in mind for then too and hope it’s still running then.

I noticed above that someone mentioned AY flights to ACE/TFN/TFS — didn’t know these existed. Why did you show them in grey on the post? Are they theoretical or only seasonal?
