Finnair has just announced a rather lucrative deal. For a limited time, you can buy Finnair Avios with a 50% discount. “But Finnair doesn’t even fly to Australia,” I hear you say. That’s irrelevant, my friends. Since Finnair is now part of the Avios loyalty programme, you can easily transfer your points to British Airways or Qatar Airways. For example, a Qatar Airways saver fare (if you can find it) from Australia to Europe would cost you 90,000 Avios. Under this promotion, that works out to roughly $1,500 to fly Qatar Airways in business class. Pretty good!

Finnair Promotion Details

Buy at least 5,000 Avios or more to get a discount. The discount structure is tiered as follows:

  • Buy 5,000–19,000 Avios and get a 35% discount
  • Buy 20,000–49,000 Avios and get a 40% discount
  • Buy 50,000–74,000 Avios and get a 45% discount
  • Buy 75,000–200,000 Avios and get a 50% discount

To buy the full amount of 200,000 Avios, you will spend €2,100, which is €289 cheaper than the best possible British Airways Avios subscription (one of the best deals on the market). As well as the Qatar Airways 60% bonus Avios sale.

Tip:

Most credit cards will attract a 3% surcharge, instead use something like the fee free debit card from Ubank (which currently comes with a $30 sign up bonus)

When Does It End?

Transactions must be completed between 6 November (00:00:01 UTC+2) and 20 November 2024 (23:59:59 UTC+2) to earn the Avios discount.

How Many Points Can I Buy?

Finnair Plus members can purchase for themselves or as a gift a maximum of 200,000 Avios in the calendar year. The combined maximum amount of Avios that a member can buy or receive is 200,000 Avios per calendar year.

Any Other Reasons to Buy?

Obviously, Finnair is part of the oneworld alliance, so you can spend your points on any oneworld partner airline (such as Qantas).

Summing Up

This is a pretty compelling offer! Personally, I will probably buy some points, but I’ll wait and see what other airlines will launch for Black Friday in the coming days. As always, I don’t recommend buying points speculatively unless you have use for them in the immediate future. You can buy Finnair Avios here.
