However, when the Finnish state decides on how to subsidizing that ATR domestic route network, once they analysed the traffic numbers they will conclude that the HEL-OUL will need zero cash as it has sold so extremely well the last year 
Some peole even need to go there several times a day!

Great service again by AY, Plat line picked up in less than a minute, 7 different Q2 bookings handled efficiently and points & vouchers credited instantly where appropriate. Voucher delivery told to be within a week, refunds to credit card in 2 months so no changes there. All in all another excellent experience with AY CS, well done!

For tickets bought in April, the rules are a bit stricter than for March tickets: you may still change your ticket up to 30NOV, BUT you will pay the price difference if applicable AND you must make the change (at least) 7 days before the departure of your original flight.
The wording is a bit unclear here: "It is good to know that if there is no availability in your original fare class for your new flight, you need to pay the fare difference between your original and new flight tickets."
Would this mean that if I have a Q fare and the flight shows Q1, I can make the change free of charge? Or does it mean that if the Q fare on the day of change is higher than it was on the day of purchase, I will still need to pay the difference even if the booking class is the same?

So they prefer to refund the flights? Because if I can't change them at reasonable (tiny) price, that's what I'll do...
The bookings where all the flights are maintained in April must be very few. Personally, I got 9 flights cancelled out of 5 round-trips in April-June.
