Aurinkomatkat flight only packages and flight+hotel packages that include scheduled flights (AY0000–AY1999) earn AY+ points as follows:
• in economy class, these book into A and earn 25 % AY+ points; fare basis AALWSURT; you will also earn tier bonus if applicable
• in business class, these book into I and earn 200 % AY+ points; fare basis IALWSURT; you will also earn tier bonus if applicable

These flights can also be credited to other FFPs and in those programmes, earn points/miles based on the booking class.

Aurinkomatkat flight only packages are always in economy class. If you book flight+hotel, you may upgrade with money to business class if you're on a widebody and if there's availability. If you upgrade with money at the time of booking, your ticket will show I class.

Like on any AY scheduled flights, you may upgrade Aurinkomatkat economy class A tickets to business using points or vouchers (in which case your booking class will be U and earnings will be according to A).

Aurinkomatkat flight only packages and flight+hotel packages that include charter flights (AY2000–AY2500) earn AY+ points as follows:
• in economy class, you will earn 1000 points for a return shorthaul ticket (Europe, Canaries, Middle East); you will also earn tier bonus if applicable
• in economy class, you will earn 4000 points for a return longhaul ticket; you will also earn tier bonus if applicable
• business class is not available

These flights cannot be credited to other FFPs.

It is okay to book a flight+hotel package and not use the hotel. Inform the AM holiday rep on arrival.

You would per AY.com for longhaul destinations, but currently they don't have any longhaul charters. So the answer is: wait until they open up some.

One question for those of you who have taken AY2000 series charters. Did you earn only 1000/4000 points, or did you earn a status bonus as well?
CFU-HEL (via Apollo) earned me 625 award and tier points, so there is a tier bonus. Normal rules for A fare code: 2000 * 25% + 25%.

Was CFU a AY2000 flight? Apparently you earn 500+500 (and not 1000 in one transaction, as the wording on AY.com suggests), and the usual tier bonus

Edit: at least for summer 2020, CFU is in the AY2000 series. I'll edit the wiki and add the tier bonus info.

No, that was AY1896. And there's no way I would have earned 500+500 at once, since I only flew one-way CFU-HEL.
