True.
Blue line behind the plane is real coverage.
Black/Dark grey is estimated route.

That's what I had in mind, too. It's a looong flight, and I wonder what the odds are that a fuel stop is necessary. A350-900 should have a range of 15 000 km and SGN-DWC-HEL, which imitates the route pretty well, is only 10206 km. Should be fine, I guess.

Hello. I am actually in a sticky situation with Finnair right now. I was on the DEL-HEL on 28th Feb. Due to very last minute change I had to fly straight from HEL to MAD and bought a oneway HEL-MAD ticket on Finnair. Of course as I landed the gate was closed. Went to gate 31 customer service desk, where they told me, sorry there is nothing we can do for you today, but we can put you on a flight tomorrow, which was not good enough as I really needed to make it to Madrid that night. Then the polite lady told me, OK ... we will issue you a full refund and I bought a oneway ticket for KLM that was leaving shortly.
Only to be told last week by Finnair. Sorry you cancelled your flight after departure, no refund will be given. I complained again to the web form, but so far no anwser. It was not a cheapest ticket of them all, so refund would be widely appreciated.

Not really in my experience AY only acts if the problem is already there. Once I flew out of PRG to HEL onwards to BKK, the in bound flight to PRG was about 3 hours late, I called them and ask them if they can reroute me on another airline, they declined. I flow to HEL, got my connection missed message, was booked into the Hilton and flew on the next day (lucky me I got the compensation since it was technical).

Are there any other flights to MAN on that day (with other airlines), then they may rebook you. Also they possible wait if too many pax are missing the connection.

We don't know what the situation will be like in early April, and if you contact AY now, they'll most likely do nothing and ask you to wait.

If the problem persists, you could try to call them a few days prior to your flights, and have a suggestion ready, suggesting alternative AY flights. I don't believe they are willing to proactively move you to another carrier. There is a BKK-LHR flight on BA that would take you to LHR at 18:30, in time for the 20:30 to MAN, but I'd be amazed if AY lets you do this.

So should that fail, I'd be prepared for a HEL-LHR-MAN flight the same evening (if there is such a connection; seems to me the last LHR-MAN flight on BA is at 20:30, which does not work for you) or the morning flight HEL-MAN the next day. I find it unlikely that they will present you with this solution at BKK, so you'll need to contact ground staff at HEL.

You were on separate tickets and simply no showed for your departure from HEL. Thus, your ticket was cancelled and it retains whatever value it had under its fare rules. I presume that to be EUR 0, although you should still be able to obtain a refund of the taxes less a service fee (which may also not be worthwhile.

The agent who advised that the ticket would be refunded likely had no authority to do so. Nonetheless, you could frame your request to AY as being a promise. If you have the individual's name, you should include that. If not, provide a description and the specific location where you interacted.

Given recent history of AY122 arriving around 16:30-17:30 in HEL instead of planned 14:45, my connection this Sunday to BGO at 15:50 seems highly unlikely. No other flights HEL-BGO that day. Should I contact AY proactively and ask for alternate routing? (There are evening flights to OSL with AY, SK, and D8, but then would still need SK/DY/WF ticket to get to BGO.)

Does anyone knows how long this will go on? Have flights end of March and need to arrange the trip. As of now I understand that AY 143 is about one hour late if not using Pakistan airspace - is that correct? Also I will loose about one hour on the way back - so I booked a later connection already. So any news on this?
