Oh, the joys of joint ventures and finnair revenue management.
You need to wait until all availability in V, L, N, S, Q, O, Z, R is sold. Then you will get access to K, M, P, T

Sometimes you can find a leg in K, M, P, T and get the whole journey priced in K, M, P, T.
But doing a few samples, I see that AY does not sell any ticket involving AY5/AY6. They only offer codeshare tickets. There is availability in AY5, but AY just don't want to sell them ex-EU.

Secondly - sometimes it seems fare rules and/or restricted availability on some legs makes it impossible to get a fare ex-EU to destination in K/M/P/T. It seems (and I can be mistaken) only Y/B/H and the lowest fares are combinable.
If the trouble we are seeing is "only" number 1, then a real life TA should be able to book.

250% if AY marketed. Many routes offered without AY code, then only 125%..
