Is this a Finnair business light fare?
Be careful.
  • They only allow carry-ons, and not any checked bags
  • They earn 150% elite miles, rather than the 200-250% elite miles offered by other fares
  • They don’t allow any changes or cancellations
  • They only allow seat assignments and lounge access for a fee
  • They don’t allow priority check-in, priority security, or priority boarding

Do not search too far I had never heard of this form of address - it is like people who see fit to refer to London Gatwick as "Gatters". I was based there for years at BCAL and none of us crew called it that.

My own thoughts on that are probably best kept to myself. Thank you OP for this - it could be most useful.

Finnair has a bonkers sale to Honkers from most EU destinations. BRU and ARN appear the cheapest at €1,400 return.

You can fly from MUC or FRA to SIN with Etihad for €1570 this summer.

With these fares, do OW emerald benefits get recognised (lounge, check in etc). I assume they earn full TPs if crediting to BAEC.

Ahh that's nice, thanks. But I'm looking for 3rd/4th week of July and return to UK/Europe at 4th week of Aug

Please let me know if you could find any deal around that timeframe

Doing really well coining such names for us. Slurs like Chink, Jap and Pak* are not already enough it seems.

And then there was Shankers (PVG) and so we have Honkers Shankers Bankers - The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation
