Finnair routes spring/summer 2018
Does anyone know if Finnair will still be flying to Chicago in 2018? SFO and JFK are loaded, but MIA and ORD are not. Just curious!

Personally I'd prefer the Wing. A la carte menu is the same in both but the buffet options are better at the Wing's Haven. There's fresh smoked salmon and strawberries.

Bah, two-class configuration! They should get one-class configs relieving all the BKK birds.
(Also, IIRC HEL can't cope with A380 until the final development stage of west wing)

Nice that you can now "force" system to backtrack from Nordic cities to HEL to get better pricing (if you only search ARN-LAX for example it doesn't offer connection through HEL). But through multi-city it worked is the connection is less than 24h (in my case 2,5h)
I wanted to go to LAX during May 2018 and HEL price was ~750€ p.p for the dates I wanted (wanted AY HEL-JFK & AA JFK-LAX on outbound and AA LAX-LHR & AY HEL-LHR on inbound) for timetable reasons. Didn't get the AA codes with this trick and decent price, but still happy.
Adding ARN segment on both ways reduced it to ~3400SEK. Good deal!
Upgrade vouchers added and MCE for AA legs chosen, now only wait begins!
