Great stuff! Just missing RVN-HEL returns. Not sure if I can virtually return from the flight at 12 to be back for the 19 departure.
Also it would be nice to have this counted for status segments.

Just got a newsletter from AY, there's a mention about virtual HEL-RVN flights:
https://www.finnairshop.com/en/virtualflights
Burning question: will these flights gain you segments? (seriously speaking it is safe to assume they won't, but you'll gain 250 ap per flight)
Should probably be moved to höpö

With virtual flights to RVN, I guess now everyone and not only the businetic people, will disappear after boarding.

Next level then is virtual flights to Canary or Thailand:

Not really revenue, but good to be visible in the public.

Finnair’s VR flights start on December 25th and are available for €10 per person, with all profits going to UNICEF’s fund to help children adversely impacted by the Covid–19 pandemic.

"All profits" does not mean "all revenues". So there is revenue for AY. I figure that just the 250 points already take an € or two away from UNICEF and into Finnair Plus accounts.
