Current and historical promotions
This is a thread for reporting details of promotions in the Finnair+ program.
The purpose of the wiki is to keep a repository of current and historical promotions. This works best if all details are given in a post of the thread. Once such a post is made, edit the wiki and add a short description of promo in headline-style, with a link to the post that holds the detailed information. (You can create such a link by right-clicking the post-number and copy link location).
Do not link to the promo itself from the Wiki, as the promo page is likely to disappear once the promo ended and such link will die, leaving the wiki sans historical info.
Feel free to discuss alterations to the format in the thread below.
Do not delete historical posts.

You can actually have it for €45 if you let Deutsche billigflieger take you to lastminute site. All you need is MC Debit and some luck to have the card accepted by their system :-)

I've entered this promo "years ago" and there has not been one single feedback to participants about the draws. "The winner will be informed" but there is absolutely no public accounting for the results. So for all we know it could be just like the sunnto promo, where they did not give out the points as they said they would. I call scam on thsese promos.

And I agree - for AY it's great, free advertising, lots of webpage hits and interaction with destinations, planes, seats etc - everyone is going to pick a business seat, and then they might go look how much their trip actually costs etc. The fact the flights you create are nonsensical only bothers us
(I want a 6 stop trip to SIN on an ATR please, it'll be like a mini cruise!).

Again the "primary address" has to be in Finland or in Japan...
Finnair seems to have zero promotions for their most loyal customers living outside of Finland/Sweden/targeted countries.
Hence my loyalty towards Finnair is about to end.

KLM runs contests and after they draw the winner they are shown in photos on their FB page with their prize! Very trustworthy very transparent! AY say the winne is Kalle from Finland or something to that effect
Call me suspicious

Also - summer in TYO? Pleeeeeze...
Why only FUK and NRT and no KIX, NGO?
Short booking period, uninteresting travel period.
