What about the wetleases on these PRG codeshare? AY6792 is "OPERATED BY SMARTWINGS FOR CZECH AIRLINES"? It is AY flightnumber and it should earn on AY but it is after all a codeshare on a Skyteam member operated by a non-allied low cost carrier...

Well I was unsure about that too, but now tested 2 times in practice, AY6xxx will get you points and tiers, but I had to retroclaim both, they did not post automatically.
On another note to the codeshare talk about AY&NZ, I saw that my friend had booked exactly that combo when he came to me asking about some advices and I almost wanted to blame him for booking that NZ code, but then I let it go since how could he know he is not hanging around on FT, just plain Svensson.

1. Good to know, even if retro-claim is a bit on-the-border.
2. Am I to understand he was unhappy with the ticket that came out after paying (or what is another unrelated isssue he asked you about)?

Does anyone know where weekly flight schedules would be available between two destinations?
Much like the printed flight schedules used to be in the past.
I know that the flights to/from Helsinki were shown in the schedule search earlier in this way. But I can't find that anymore.
This would make it easier to plan for trips as you would know when there are direct flight services and when not.

When did Finnair start to have three pairs of "daily" flights to BUD? Was just booking my holiday flight today and noticed that on Thursdays in August there is an evening departure. Same for July, but if I see it correctly, in June it is operated sometimes also on Sundays (AY757/758).

I think it's clever to put in an extra rotation for the A32x to touristy destinations (BUD, PRG). I even came across a BCN-HEL arriving at 4 am. Collegue says it was chock full!
The tourist crowd is used to crazy timings, and the aircraft earns an extra euro or two while not standing overnight on the apron in HEL.

Just reminded me the good old times, when between HEL and BUD there were usually three pair of flights on a daily basis, when MA was still above ground...

According to YLE http://yle.fi/uutiset/finnair_lisaa_...ismiin/9022341 AY will reintroduce triangle routes on the domestic market.
The routes mentioned are HEL-MHQ-TKU-HEL, HEL-JYV-KAJ-HEL, HEL-KOK-TMP-HEL, HEL-JYV-KOK-HEL.
Sounds like a reasonable and sensible way to offer at least something for the upcountry airfields.
