Yes I was suggesting looking at booking Finnair reward flight on BA.com (or more specifically by calling BA)… I thought Finnair did fly to both SIN and HK… at least I very much hope Finnair do fly to Singapore since I’m booked on one returning from SIN in August :-s

While I have no personal experience of Finnair flying to HK, I’m pretty sure they do.

Also yes totally appreciate you can’t use 2-4-1 voucher on Finnair (which I said in my post)… But I was just suggesting it might be worth looking at Finnair as an alternative because it might actually work out lower cost than using 2-4-1 with BA (as it did for me), because BA reward flights cost so many more Avios and have higher fees. But of course if the priority is to use a 2-4-1 voucher regardless of whether it costs more in Avios/cash than then yes Finnair won’t work… Personally I’d rather look at the lowest overall cost… But I understand the desire to use a voucher regardless of the actual benefit.

I ended up using a 2-4-1 outbound, but couldn’t get the inbound via BA and was surprised when I worked out the Finnair return was actually slightly lower cost overall for the return than if I had managed to get the BA return with my 2-4-1… I won’t apply to all trips, but it did to mine. It really made me think about how much BA charges in Avios and fees compared to other one-world that essentially you need a 2-4-1 voucher to make it competitive!

Anyone hopefully my suggestion was helpful to the OP, as I say it may work out better, it might not.., but worth at least a look at if going to SIN or HK.

All the best
