Finnair Sales
Hi all,
Thanks to a lengthy delay on Finnair, I'm now in possession of a large Finnair voucher that I'd like to use, ideally on flights to Australia (the FI agent I dealt with confirmed that I could use the vouchers on FI coded flights on other carriers).
I was wondering if Finnair does any sale fares to Australia from the UK or whether I can expect the fares to stay relatively consistent.
In addition, it looks like when I try in break the flight and spend some time in Asia (SIN/HKG/TYO) that this prevents a FI codeshare on the next flight - is this correct?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't think that Finnair vouchers can be used for flights booked under Icelandair (FI) code.

Thank you for this value add comment. Not opposed to pointing something like this out as a tongue-in-cheek comment, but as it is clear for everyone that the OP means Finnair, what is the point of this?

I’v never seen an AY sale to Ozzy.
The good thing though is that with their codeshare partners you have a number of destinations vis SIN or HKG. I don’t know if there’s a codeshare boy TYO.
look at the fare rules if they allow for stopover in wherever you want to stop - my guess is that many fares would do.
OTOH I’m not sure if you need codeshare to use the voucher- HEL-TYO on AY and TYO- Ozzie on QF or JL might be possible if on 125-stock ticket. I had a HEL-NRT-SYD-SIN-HEL on one ticket with a week’s stopover in Tokyo a few years ago, it was very duifficult to book, in the end I had to use a real travel agent, but she could book it.

I'm aware of these AY codeshares to Australia: 3K/BA/QF from SIN to various places, CX/QF from HKG to various places, JS from KIX to CNS.
