I like the new arrangement with each section being in one menu bar on the bottom of the screen. Much nicer than the ugly screens about your destination the tab you had to pull open.

I had a friend on the same flight but with a separate booking. I upgraded this friend to J with my points via janica. After this my app started showing his boarding pass with his reservation number and not mine at all. Tried logging out and in but didn't help. After 4 nights for return flight I did checkin via app normally. However at the airport again the boarding pass changed to this friend of mine. This time not even J. Strange indeed.

Some progress with codeshare flight seat reservations. I booked AY5 under a BA code but can select and change the seats online on Finnair's manage my booking, wohoo! :cool:

I've been sent a lot of pushes from Finnair that "award booking is available in the App". I can't get it to work though. The "Search" button does nothing, so I can't get past the initial screen.
Are there any known limitations to this search? Does others have similar issues? I'm using Android, app version 1.39

And now I realise the revenue flight search does not work either.

Same on IOS.

This seems to have broken about 2 days ago. Revenue flight search breaks if you first try to do an award flight search. When starting the app fresh, revenue search works unless you tinker around with award.
award search doesn’t work in any scenario.

OK, so maybe it is not the app per se, sounds like they changed something in the website booking and the app didn't agree with it.
(Because, that "booking in the app function" is just an embedded browser using finnair.com, it is not really app functionality, right?)

Still, really clumsy :(

Points for incoming flight were recorded correctly. The 3x point flight was a TLL-HEL-Greece rt ticket. This time, both TLL-HEL and HEL-TLL points were recorded correctly, but both Greek flights are missing 3x points (inbound and outbound). It is little strange that 2/4 flights were credited correctly :D I need those points to renew my plat and the season ends this month (Thursday). I called cs for the first time two weeks ago and again last Wednesday to remind them of a tight deadline. A cs agent said he saw the matter pending and promised to make a reminder to "another department". Two more days left and I look forward to what happens..

Points arrived finally today after six weeks of waiting and five phone calls to platinum line. There are still some points missing but I don't bother to call anymore because main thing is fixed and I'm plat, as it should be :tu:

This really is ridiculous.

Well that makes me feel better about the pending missing points claim that I sent to Plat WA 5 weeks and 3 weeks ago. Halfway there it sounds like! :rolleyes:

On a slight sidenote, does Finnair just not trust their front line phone agents with point distribution privileges? While I don't have experience with missing points claims on other airlines, I feel like I've been given points for inconveniences from other airlines and also hotels directly while I've been on the phone.

Interesting website experience again:

>Manage booking: "You need to accept changes to be able to make changes." Ok.....
>Click....... nothing happens
>Start writing complaint to whatsapp .... 2 minutes passes and just before sending
>Change accepted!
>Then proceed to change dates
>Dates available and no price difference!
>Press confirm
>Wait 2 minutes
>Dog error
At this point I sent them a message on wa.
>"I checked your booking and it has been changed already!"
>Receive 4 etickets, all for the wrong dates
>MMB shows correct dates

PS. Upgraded both ways and got new etix with correct dates.

I think the people in cs are from subcontractor and they don't have full permission to company's database. For me one of the agents said in the phone that he need to email my case to another place. He even tried to enter my points manually but he couldn't as the computer said no. :rolleyes:

Jaanika in Kajaani is/ used to be (?) AY, IIRC. Ivan in Sofia is most likely outsourced
