I'm not saying your interpretation is entirely impossible (=that whoever gave that comment might not have thought about wording or knows about policy implementation), but it's the same kind of doomsterism that led to another thread of "I quit Finnair" based on an amount of cases of enforcement that can be counted on one hand.
They are memorable, don't worry! Hopefully to you too! I dont stress these changes they simply annoy me. What I said was stressfull would be the situation where one would have no certainty if their bags are policed or not, but again for me not the end of the world as I dont have to travel on any specific route or airline so I can choose whats the best value for money. I can fit my laptop in my jacket pocket and so on, but alot of people travel for work where they need to take certain stuff on. But no point in rehashing all this again, as I am sure you will find more to comment on the same issue soonish anyways. Sorry to dissappoint but the only memorable posts on FT that stick to my mind are in the premium fares section and even those I forget after I book them 😀😀 |

I've read about this somewhere and thought that must've been a mistake. Great if it's possible to use 2-4-1 for PE seats as well!

i highly doubt anyone on that flight would have a ticket under the new rules, check back in 1-2 months time and see if the policy has come into effect.

It seems that the unofficial silver benefit of free place selection on day before check in is gone. That is a shame. It makes silver way less usefull, and that was also a benefit which didn't cost a penny to Finnair. I don't really get why Finnair is trying to make flight experience as worse as possible. That was previously reserved for LCCs.

very possible, one can also lock in Y seats and then waitlist the PE
241 PE is great value. |

Also a good way to dump a voucher that would otherwise be rotting on a waitlist that never clears.

Sorry for the stupid question, but what is 241?
You can book 2 award tickets with 4 european shorthaul vou hers (or 1 lh) and points so 2 longhaul Y tickets for 90000 points as of now or 2 in PE for 120000 points and taxes/fees. Instead of 180000 or 240000 respectively |

I'll get to experience the "no change in seating for you!" policy on Tuesday but so far most of my bookings have followed the "always window if possible" preference I have set on the Finnair app so it's not a catastrophe. The sole exception is HEL-LHR-HEL in July where both flights are on E seats but let's see...

Anybody got re-seated due to this seating change policy so far?

2 tickets for the price of 1 so 2 for 1 so 241 short :)
