Well Expedia.de won't talk to me, Finnair won't talk to me because purchased through Expedia.de, Amex now not talking to me Honestly it's almost like it's worth writing off just for peace and quiet

Try the Finnair chat and tell them you can’t reach Expedia.

I have two tickets bought on Expedia.de and there is no any problem to have my tickets exchanged via Facebook messenger.

Contacted Finnair directly to change my flights to Oct, though it seems like Finnair has blocked all seats atm. CSR had to call the help desk to release seats on my desired dates.

About to change my STR-HEL-CAN to late September dates. Have been dealing with web chat, and they seem insistent I can't change origin (to TXL) or destination (to HKG). Has anyone had recent success somehow doing this, most comments here are that origin can be changed in same country, but maybe this has changed.
Also, any thoughts on what happens if we need to change again due to ongoing restrictions? Will this be allowed, or a cancellation if we give up, or do we need to see if policy is extended / changed?

They still allow to change your origin (must be in Italy) if your flight was from BLQ, as they no longer operate from there. I changed BLQ for MXP yesterday on webchat.

I had no luck changing the destination anymore. But I was able to change the origin from STR to TXL by complaining that STR always requires a HEL overnight stop or even a stopover.

Good tip. Although I want the stopover on the way out! Is there any confirmation they will even keep the STR route going? I know its not in the schedule for May, but any word beyond that?

If they cancel the STR route, you will be able to rebook again...

FYI, today 07th May I received the last refund, from a request made on 09th March.
I understand better late than never, but... wow.

Finally changed my flight set for departure next week via the online chat today. Wouldn't allow any flights to be postponed beyond 30 Nov, and also wouldn't allow a change in origin from BLQ since she said it was resuming service on 1 July.

I chose days that they didn't operate the CAN flight, and was firm that I needed to travel those dates even if it was to HKG. I also chose days that BLQ didn't operate. They took a while on the webchat but changed the origin and destination. I told them "my friends had the same flights and were able to make those changes". Hope that helps

Where did you find that information? I think they do fly, based on information on their website and my confirmed booking:

It seems that the agents get better instruction by now about what they can and cannot do.
Also it seems schedules for after july 1st, while when I made my request for changes was before these schedules were known.

I was able to change both origin airport (from STR to DUS) and arrival airport (from CAN to HKG). This was also easier since CAN would only be serviced 2 times a week I believe.

Sorry, looks like I misunderstood the agent on live chat.
They told me they weren't operating from BLQ (must have meant on my selected date, I assumed they cancelled the route), and allowed me to change origin to anywhere in Italy.
I will edit my original post.
