Ams-bkk: Ay 1261 sq 1492 tk 1660
Seeing the AY fares until early Sept, SQ until end of Nov. and TK until end of schedule.
Was able to book through SQ myself, with a free VTL stopover in SIN after spending a week in BKK.
Sample fare: https://www.google.com/travel/flights/s/S4ow
Update: AY has withdrawn financial guidance for Q1 and calls most routes to Asia no longer sustainable due to current airspace restrictions. I would caution against booking AY.

Usually my warning with Finnair is that these are Business Light fares that don't even include luggage.
But with significant airspace being closed across Russia, AY mentioned potential difficulty with their Asia routes.
Currently, Finnair flies to Bangkok, Phuket, Singapore, Delhi, Seoul, Osaka, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. However, the airline has recently canceled all cargo and passenger flights to Seoul, Osaka, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
So things are getting complicated and something to take into account on AY flights...

Finnair told yesterday that they'll keep on flying some routes:
https://www.finnair.com/pl-en/flight...3-2022-2548064
We continue flying from Helsinki to Bangkok, Phuket, Singapore and Delhi and from Stockholm Arlanda to Bangkok and Phuket. We will avoid using the Russian airspace which lengthens the travel time approximately one hour.

Just curious and I hope I'm not breaking forum rules by asking about this clarification here. For the routes cancelled by Finnair, do they offer the option to reroute you via partner airlines e.g. QR/BA etc. or you're stuck with a last minute refund only? I bought the CDG-BKK business light fair and so far everything looks good, but just in case I want to know to plan accordingly. Anyone with prior experience with Finnair cancellation? Thanks.

Yep, for the dates I am looking at, CDG is cheaper. For my dates, there is a long layover at HEL on the return which is not desired so CDG is better as there are shorter connections...maybe too short on the return at 40 minutes. At least one flight I looked at had an A350 on the AMS-HEL route which was nice compared to the A320 you get on the CDG route.

AY has put out a statement. Many of their passenger and cargo routes to Asia are no longer profitable due to the current Russian airspace ban. Expect many flights to be cut.

My last trip it was. Long walk from the end of one pier to get to security and then security was jammed up and had to walk back to the end of the pier for our flight. This was BKK-HEL-JFK. I would agree that when you dont have to do security on a non-Schengen to non-Schengen connection it is very easy.

EDIT; You can depart Paris/ARN and return to London from BKK for same price, or just do exLHR for £1200 as well.
