Finnair sells "ticket types" instead of booking classes. The various ticket types can overlap in booking class, but they differ in service level and fare terms.
The ticket types are not sold on destinations covered by joint ventures, ie Japan and NA.
Economy tickets:
Light: Z, O, Q, N, S, V, L
Basic: Z, O, Q, N, S, V, L
Value: Z, O, Q, N, S, V, L, K, M
Pro: Y, B, H
[P, T, R and W Economy class fares have been removed in April 2019 in preparation for the launch of Premium Economy in 2021.]
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/finn...-2021-a-2.html
Premium Economy (from 2021):
P, T, R, W
Business Saver: I (long-haul)
Business: J, C, D (and I for shorthaul in Europe)
Economy award: X
Premium economy award & upgraded: F
Business award & upgraded: U
Light is a handbag-only fare, currently only offered in shorthaul operations (Europe and Middle East).
In addition to the above six fare families there is one additional ticket type called Saver, which contains restricted starting-from fares in the lowest booking classes in fares from Asia and North America.

Oh well, now that W has been reassigned to PY, I guess that there are actually no letters left for Campaign. G is for group bookings and A for aggregators. Who knows what IT system would meltdown if they were reused for anything else.

So rules are clear: no ticket types in North America, booking class is all that matters, and the table says O is 50 %.
But AY doesn't follow the rules. What could we do about this?

The same we can do about all AY Plus inconsistencies and failures complain about it on FT and collectively lament the general declining quality ongoing enhancement of the program.
Or are we expecting AY to suddenly take consistency issues seriously?

Any insight what kind of change fees etc. would be accossiated with fare code INW9C1S4? For some reason the e-ticket receipt has no info about this. Its all AY codes but included other OW metal also.
I class business saver.
