Finnair Booking Class - how to find and translate into BA Tier Points
Hi,
I'm looking to book LHR - HEL - OULU return, 17th Oct - 18th Oct. BA pricing is coming out at roughly £914, Finnair £614.
1610 LHR - HEL AY1336, then onto OULU AY449
1430 OULU - HEL AY438, then onto LHR AY1341
Through the BA site I can see the booking class (then calculate Tier Points) but I cant find this information on Finnair when I look at the flight details.
Does anyone know how to find this detail? My aim is to see how many Tier Points the booking awards if I book via Finnair instead of BA.

Lokk for something similar in your ticket:
Fare Basis: QVA2NL
In this case Q is the booking class you look for, VA means "Value" (Finnair speak) and NL means it's ex-Netherlands

Booking class information is visible on Finnair website in the last step of the booking. One needs to enter name and other details and booking class is then shown before entering payment details.

One thing to remember is that AY flight numbers don't earn any bonus avios with BA gold, but the same flight booked with a BA flight number does earn 100% bonus. I don't think this helps your particular case but i'm often choosing the ticketing/codeshares to take advantages of differences.

I am aware that this is an old thread.
For those coming here from Google like me, trying to find out where to find the booking class for an existing Finnair booking: You can view it on the Qantas website.
