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.

Uh? You can go to VNO and back with that money. Also 50% points, so hmm, 2x2x500 points.
If you want insane prices, I've been to STR (yeah, some years ago) for 580€ and three months later to NRT for 560€...

It's just small fry, same as you're getting with other AY+ affiliated retailers. The real points come in the other way round: 15% extra points when flying. A simple HEL-BKK bagged me 2250 extra - so first you get ALL your bunuses (class of travel, status) and on top of that 15%. Total earning for a Plat in C is 287,5% - not too shabby (NB - the Sto extra points do not count towards status)

So eg. HEL-HAM in value is 2500 status points (2000+25%) and 2700 award points (2000+35%).
Likewise HEL-BKK in C should be 17625 with exclusive (235%) and 18000 with first (240%).

I must admit, that I theoretized in this, being AY White card holder at the moment, so I get 0 status points BKK in C was 17225 with Sto black (15k + 15%) Must wait till next week when the white card turns silver, if MH flights post timely.

I don't have Stockmann elite status and no hope of getting it any time soon: no cars and only one mouth to feed at home.
