I have flown too much of these ATR's.
Standard AY size cabin bag will fit just by millimeters. Sometimes they ask to be put on cargo but I nicely refuse saying too much experience, I know what I am doing.
I avoid selecting rows 18-19 since you get a bad seat if you happen to be bumped to somewhere else in case the ATR assigned is the smaller one with last row 17. And there is no bin space in last rows. And the NoRRA crew has become nastier to accept any bags in the rear hold, forcing your bag under your seat or in cargo.

Hi guys and experts!
After 7 months flying OW, im now AY+ Gold. Do you know how long we get the card (to North America)?
And do we also get AY+ Gold Luggage tags?
Thanks!

Looking for a holiday near INN, and Aurinkomatkat package trip is cheaper than booking flights & hotel separately.
Any idea in which ticket type these flights book into? Trying to figure out the amount of tier points...

Most likely in A or W if you buy the AM package => earning a generous 1000+ tier points for a return trip.

I might do that only if the points were about to expire and I didn't have anything else to use them for. If that was not the case and I still wanted the comfort seat, I would pay cash for it. (Same applies to extra bags, meals, etc.)

Pay cash 85€ if you want economy comfort and use 15000 points for 2 X EU upgrades which are on sale right now if you have orphaned or expiring points.

I've booked in the summer a HEL-KTT flight and now noticed the number AY 4559. I've never encounter 4-series before. What are those? According to the Finnair Plus webpage, those don't even earn points?
Booked via AY's own page.
