What I really whish that you could earn TPs and Avios on other carriers (outside OW). For example AY offers flights with Jetstar, Air NZ and some others to some destination but you don't earn anything on their flights. Why not that you could earn TPs and Avios on those flights? Other airlines are able to add more partners to their network which are outside OW. AY should be able to do the same.

If you mean codeshare partners, AY does offer codeshare to SGN and HAN with VN from BKK and SIN, in addition to usual suspects QR and CX. If I remember rights some years back they even had it with PG to DAD!. I agree, it would be great having direct flight from HEL to HAN or SGN, but I really won't hold my breath waiting for it to happen again.

Pre-covid, Saigon was an Aurinkomatkat destination with a once-weekly flight. I have understood that the Chinese travel to Vietnam en masse, which might contribute to the area not being the most enticing for the AM clientele.[/QUOTE]
And even worse, loads of russians, especially in Nha Trang and Phu Quoc.

OT: TPE-HEL
Helsingin Sanomat published an article of Finnish MP:s visiting Starlux. They have discussed a possible route btw HEL-Taipei. Starlux which would like to lean towards oneworld has hinted this route earlier. It would bring connection passengers to AY if everything goes well.
