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.

- selected + 1000p items cost now only + 25p,
- new members get 2500 points,
- free delivery from Finnair Shop,
- 80 discount on holiday packages on Aurinkomatka,
- 20% off Tax Free pre-orders + 25 voucher when spending at least 100

Awards seem to be bookable only when clicking through the campaign pages (not when searching them from home page). KEF is a nice value for 22k in J. All in all, I'm a bit disappointed that there are no extra points deals. Well, happy anniversary to AY+!
I tried to find availability for KEF on J for 22K, but no success. I think the price is wrong.
Same with WAW. In Y 95K and J 15K and the cheapest I could find was 22K in J. hmm?

Hmm, you are right. I thought I was just unlucky with dates selection. It seems they are offering it, but not actually selling it. Great promotion!
However, I wouldn't say the price is wrong. It corresponds with where KEF is placed in accrual and standard awards lists. WAW seems to be a part of their great IT presentation - I see 95k in Y, 15k in J. Maybe they should have told the person preparing Y awards list that Warsaw is not one of their Asian / American destinations. Of course, the price is correct when you search for dates (in J; Y search shows some data sending error)...

Those J offers were roughly 20% cheaper during the matkamessut campaign in January.

Not really, depends what and how you look at

Just booked NGO for the 2018 year Hanami season for me and wife and found "very good dates" and I am happy to spend 2*150000 in J. Not so happy for the ~300 fees per ticket but oh well

Agreed, Finnair seems oblivious in how to throw a birthday party. The 20 year day was not exciting and the airline anniversary came and went without even a promo IIRC.

Since these promos were not too easy to find, here's a link: https://www.finnair.com/fi/gb/finnair-plus-25

No promo to Astana

The terms and conditions restrict the available dates for each destination quite a lot. For example almost none of the offers are valid for July. BTW is this the first time AY flight awards cost different amount of points for different dates?

Finally an offer also at AY+. Just the eligible car rental group limitation is a little bit annoying.

On the same 25 years offers page, they are saying "APPLY FOR FINNAIR PLUS DINERS CLUB CARD AND EARN DOUBLE POINTS". If you click through it's the standard AY Diners info page, and I think the points shown are the same as usual (2,2,2.5,3 per € for the different tiers) - or have they been doubled to reach those amounts? There is no info at all about a doubled reward, or terms and conditions for the offer (how long this doubling applies for etc)... Sigh...

Do you have a crystal ball or are you staying several weeks?

No crystal ball needed, just exploring. There was plenty of availability and I could choose more than I expected try it and book while you can and you will be happy
