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.

Mail vs. webpage. I assume both are right. In your mail is a personal link, but you can register also with the form on AY's website.

LH is HBO fare at this price. Of course, if someone is going just for a weekend with no intention to collect miles, then it's a great offer.

This double-dipping (Black Friday discount + tier discount) didn't work for me. Maybe depends on a FA.

The report never stated it was for preorders. That week all onboard shopping was -25% on top of which the tier discount was applied.

I was about to preorder Dom Pérignon for my upcoming flight but someone has bought all bottles. It's out of stock. No wonder, Finnair's price with the current promotion was probably the lowest available.

OTOH, they've raised their Preorder prices significantly in the new catalogue. So for many items the new price and a 20 % discount results in a higher price than the previous price and a 10 % status discount.

That's nasty. However, I haven't noticed such increase in champagne prices on finnairshop.com. Decided to go with Bollinger. I find 34,40€ is still pretty good value compared to Alko's 56,40€. Dom Pérignon would have been ~100€ with the discount.

Does anyone have experience with these point promotions and tickets booked via TA / OTA? There is nothing in the T&C about tickets must be booked with AY.com but perhaps that is implicit?

Works the same way as direct bookings as long as you have registered through the site. 105 issued ticket might be required.
