Finnair are taking ages to refund cancelled bookings

[bowenm187]

In case anyone is making a Finnair booking with Avios, beware if you may need to cancel and rebook using the original Avios. I just checked and I am still waiting for the refund for tickets I cancelled on 5th April! Luckily I have enough for my current needs so no big deal but it may cause problems for others

You could chase via their call centre to have the avios returned straight away if needed.

I cancelled a flight late last year..still waiting for a refund of the taxes. They email periodically to say they are still working through their backlog. Very odd.
