For just a few days, you can book flights and earn double <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/finnar-plus\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Finnair Plus<\/a> Avios and tier points on the trip. But you'll need to act quickly. To take advantage of this Finnair promotion, you must book flights by August 27, 2026, for travel through March 31, 2027.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Finnair_Plus_Double_Avios_and_Tier_Points_Promotion\">Finnair Plus Double Avios and Tier Points Promotion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is a fantastic, no-strings promotion accessible to all Finnair Plus members. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finnair.com\/fi-en\/special-offers\" rel=\"noopener\">This offer<\/a> is valid on flights marketed by Finnair and operated by Finnair or Norra. Codeshare flights and vacation packages are excluded. However, you will also earn double Avios and tier points on any travel extras you purchase for eligible flights, like upgrades, seats, meals, or extra baggage.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this promotion so confusing is this line in the terms and conditions: &#8220;<em>See all eligible flights on this special offers page.<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the same page, there are a variety of special offers for flights to destinations worldwide. That language makes it seem like only routes listed on this page are eligible to earn double Avios. If that's the case, there are only four flights between the U.S. and Helsinki (HEL) that qualify:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chicago<\/li>\n<li>Dallas<\/li>\n<li>Los Angeles<\/li>\n<li>New York<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, Finnair flies nonstop to six cities throughout the U.S., so it's not clear whether flights to Miami or Seattle are eligible. To be safe, we recommend booking only flights listed on the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finnair.com\/fi-en\/special-offers#terms-and-conditions\" rel=\"noopener\">promotions page<\/a>. Luckily, all ticket types in all travel classes are eligible, so you can book a Superlight Economy ticket if you wish. The offer applies to both one-way and round-trip reservations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_274792\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/478\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-274792 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-20-at-11.00.58.png\" alt=\"Finnair route map\" width=\"750\" height=\"478\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-20-at-11.00.58.png 1006w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-20-at-11.00.58-750x478.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-20-at-11.00.58-900x573.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-20-at-11.00.58-768x489.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Finnair route map.
