Finnair youth ticket
How is the age limit for youth ticket counted? It says it's for 12 - 25 years old, and my birthday is in August 1993 (i.e. passed the 25th birthday but not reached the 26th birthday yet), can I still use one?

You can as long as you complete all segments by August. Often, the price is not very competitive and you're better off booking the cheapest regular fare.

I agree youth tickets can be bad value for straight returns. But youth tickets offer cheap oneway tickets (huge advantage on many routes, also longhaul!) and they are always changeable for a fee. When I was still young I saved a lot of money with them and it was a sad day when I turned 26

I loved SAS Youth tickets and was very sad to pass the age limit without having a chance to utilise some LH pricing they have(had). Never found AY's offer that valuable, but if it's in one-way options, then I get it now.
