Finnair will cut down frequency between HEL and ICN during the summer season and there are no direct flights the day I need to travel. Furthermore, this J fare requires a overnight stop on a return leg either in Hong Kong, Shanghai or Peking. I chose HKG, because I'll get a few more Finnair Plus points by travelling with CX to HKG instead of KE to PEK or PVG.
The other reason for not choosing a non-stop flight was the prize. I'll save over 1000 euros in ticket prize.
I was doubtful about the free hotel night from the beginning, but wanted to ask the forum anyway.

Wow, a saving of 1000 euros would make many of us stay overnight. Hopefully, you don't have to spend it all on the hotel. Given your three choices to stay overnight, I would also have chosen HKG

Not very updated on ICN travel, but if current trend of XONEX prices prevail, the AY HEL-ICN flight might be a convenient way to get to the starting point.

Happy travel! :)

If you like the NZ seat, then you will like the CX seat

I was faced with a similar choice earlier this month. Although I really like CX and don't mind their new seat, I decided to take AY and was happy with the choice. I've flown them before and while it's not CX, they're better than before and the reduced flight time made it a comfortable and easy trip.
