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.

It is surprising that Zürich is included. Isn’t it still one of the most expensive continental European destinations?

They might have as well rewritten the offer like, we are offering you a great offer, but there might be no availability

No possibility to upgrade to J? That pretty much kills it for me sadly.

I was watching a route ex-HEL where availability in the morning flight was "5+" and the noon flight was 0. Seemed a bit odd, if anything the morning flight is the popular one, fitting both local businessmen and connecting pax from morning wave.
Today I had a look at availability again and it was flipped around. Now morning flight had 0 and noon flight "5+" .
I fail to see a logic to this, but if anyone was denied the 5k upgrade offer based on F/0, it might pay off to look again.
It never showed up in the app, but on the webpage.

Could be, didn't think about that.
Morning flight is 32B and noon flight is 321 now, no idea what it was initially. But if I check other dates morning flight "normally" is 32B and noon flight is "normally" 321 or even 32B. So I don't think it a equipment change was the reason for "5+" seats to suddenly pop up.

Login failed for points challenge. No need to give feedback for Finnair as they mainly answer: situation belongs to third party and we cannot do anything about it.

If they respond at all that is 😃😂 So far I have tried to participate in two promos both failed and AY "customer service" has not responded to emails regarding them. Over all was not impressed or suprised. Too lazy to call in so I just passed but one would think this is an area they could do better in 😂
