I have a long haul flight from HEL and need to get Lon-Hel.
Finnair has the option to upgrade a flight using avios and I believe on this route would cost 9000.
Is it possible to do this (assuming availability) with their economy superlight fare (for the same avios supplement)? If so, this may be the cheapest J option vs. cash fare or reward ticket.
How likely is it that upgrades will be available currently if 8+ reward seats are available?
I would ask customer services but I can’t even get connected currently!
A cousin had their Finnair flight cancelled for next week. I think there are continuing strike issues and there could well have been a strike yesterday. She had great problems earlier this week trying to get through.
Sorry can’t help on upgrade.
I would only upgrade to J on LHR-HEL if it is operated by an A350.
In addition to any Avios, I would expect you to have to pay the additional APD.
