So buy your vouchers before if you want to dine "cheaply" before Oct (validity 6 months from issue). This has been one of the best value perks in Finnair shop.
On a related note: you can EARN on tableonline.fi, 50p/pax. I never knew that.

Still, it's unclear HOW. The AY site just links to tableonline.fi the tableonline.fi site links to the AY site. Made a dummy booking - you can enter the AY number during the process.

Is there a way to check yearly qualifications on AY?
Silly me I have not been prudent to keep own excel about flights all these years…
I would like to make a stats and relate that to some few selected words in a note that I would like to send to AY bosses😁

You can get the full history via the GDPR request of stored data, but it is a pdf-file of several hundreds pages and you would need to manually transfer each data point to excel.

I have seen many times Classic lower than Light, but never Flex. Or is this normal AY IT still?

This can happen when advanced purchase requirement is not met for lower Light fares and low buckets still available. Prices of Light and Flex do overlap depending on route.

Just booked my last ticket which will take me to Plathood by June. Started in November so pretty happy about the speed. Having lived in TLL for the last couple of months certainly helped with the segment runs. Spent half of the segments on ATR though. Total cost was just shy of 3500€ so 46€ per segment on average.

Didn't one recent promo let you buy plat for a little bit more than that without all the ATR pain? Shows how good of a deal that was because 46e per segment is very impressive.

Yeh, I started the endeavor in November though before the promo (though only had Gold in mind initially). And TLL-HEL is so short that I really can't complain.
And to be honest, I was never a fan of status being handed out just like this. So I would not have bought it, out of principle.

The recent double tier point campaigns provided opportunities for super cheap status. A BER-HEL-BKK return in Economy Flex cost less than 600 e and with double tier points two of them are enough for reaching Plat.

True warrior idiot runs segments and utilizes all ”ancillaries” to make that journey fun. Cardbuyers are different league
