Don't know but it is worth checking.
however 2 problems with that strategy
1 No OTA offers YBH when lower classes exists
2 YBH is usually more expensive that business class
So if anyone knows fare codes and knows how to determine classic and flex from fare code name that would be highly appreciated
Btw, the "only flex fare" filter on Expedia et Al doesn't work with Finnair anymore. Selecting it results in zero flights

FCO Seems like the lowest price for J flex.
Any experiences with a direct turn there?
Time is not my friend these days so one J flex might be worth the investment...
I would have preferred to take the march trip to HKT but prices to there are not the best
Still some doubt if BKK will be open in march..

How to interpret the requirement for classic/flex? Does ticket type "Economy Classic Campaign" count? From Finnair's "marvellous" web-site one can't tell, but it seems that "Economy Classic Campaign" is a separate type? The bundled "perks" differ from the type "Economy Classic" (non-refundable vs refundable with 180€ penalty).

At least the unclear restriction "BF routes only" is gone this time.

I did a quick research, one sample to NRT.
Booking-class Q and fares starting with Q seems to correspond "Campaign" versions of fares. But it is unclear to me if this is controlled by bucket Q or by fare basis ending in "8". My observation is that "campaign" versions of a ticket can only be booked in Q for this test, and the only two fare basis that has Q is ending in B8 and M8 (as for light and classic campaign)
zxcv1's observation that flex is YBH seems not entirely correct. in my sample there is no special fare class or fare basis that correspond to Flex ticket type, so it seems class is what controls it. However in my sample H-class has both M7 and B7 fare, ie has a light and classic version. So at least for some destinations, lowest bucket that Flex books into is B
Still, I can't tell with certainty if "campaign" is a separate type, but if we think that second last character of fare basis corresponds to type, then campaign classic is indistinguishable from classic. But if M8 denotes campaign classic and M7 and up denotes classic, then they can/will destinguish between them
BTW, it is incredibly cumbersome to find out this information, Finnair no longer shows any info about the fare. Without a TA tool it is impossible to know what you are buying. Way to go Finnair...

If I book a business classic ticket to Tallinn via HEL, the HEL TLL leg does not have business class, how are points awarded in that case? based on ticket type (biz classic) at 2000 points or based on type (classic) + travel class (economy), so economy classic 1000 points although the fare basis is business class?
Also what is your experience in case of change of ticket and reissue after January 11th? would this still qualify for the double points promo since the original reservation was made during the promo period?

Here is an example for ARN-BKK return:
So everything can be booked to any bucket (Flex ticket to I and Light ticket to C/J). Availability is controlled by the buckets.
