Today I can't get logged in, apparently they have something wrong with the authentication server communicating back to the frontend, whatever.

They just announced the problem on Facebook as well, stating it will affect making reservations. Ugh.

Just for the fun of it, Finnair now lists (at least for me) a bunch of old reservations under "my bookings"

Same here - can't login. Apparently they had an update yesterday to their systems and we're not alone: https://www.facebook.com/finnairsuom...29193343785118

Just got an email from MyFlights app. about a seat change due to AC change, but now they have messed up the AY+ numbers on PNR.
Me and missus both have my FF on the reservation shown for 'My bookings' on webpage. ^

Total f... up

Trying to book ANY redemption, the result is always this

"MENO
??Paris?? - ??Helsinki??
null VALITTU HINTA"

Mind, I didn't try to book to/from Paris.

EDIT - this happens only if there is no availability on the day chosen. Still very, very poor showing.

I had the same when trying to change dates for already booked flights, so it's not just awards. Amazing, really, how broken the booking engine can be.

The booking engine has got a new layout on the home page. Haven't used it enough to say whether I like it or not. Everything just seems massive...

I got the same question. When AY updates their website it's never good.

So are we ready to hand out the "worst website design and implementation" award to finnair.com?

I had to again try to use the website - the key word is "TRY". It's totally unusable. Book a reward flight - no availability (with the usual gibbersih message). Go back, try to change the dates and voilá - the button with the text "Hae lentoja" (fetch flights) is not clickable anymore. No amount of reloading the page helps.

We know that they don't test/benchmark the competitors' products but it seems that they don't even test their own website. Looks and functions like a botched junior high school project - and I use the word "function" very losely.

And why, oh why they need link content (!) to browser-update.org, microsoft and wingify + 2 ad servers (zanox, nugg.ad) + analysis (inspectiet, 2 requests) + ... + ...


Off to BA to book the flights.

Have you ever tried booking domestic or international open jaw on JAL?
Finnair has improved a lot lately, but they still have a long way to go.
