Booking examples:

I was able to find availability for this fare using Finnair’s website, for travel starting late November 2017 until March 2018, always for round trip travel with a duration of 8 days or longer. Also bookable using Orbitz/Expedia/Travelocity:

Availability on Finnair.com

Booking example using Expedia:

Mileage/Tier Points Accrual:

The most interesting feature of this fare is the allowed routings. For maximizing the miles/points earnings, let’s try DUB-LON-HEL-HKG-SGN which is bookable per fare rules. The following mileage accruals were estimated for DUB-HEL-without considering elite status bonuses:

If you are looking for a cheap way into British Airways Executive Club Silver (OneWorld Sapphire), using DUB-LON-HEL-HKG-SGN as your routing will give you enough tier points to qualify for this status and 2 BA segments, missing only 2 more BA segments to qualify:

 

Conclusion

It is my understanding that Finnair does a good job on the Business Class cabin of their new Airbus A350s. Moreover, winter is always a good time to visit South East Asia. Add an easy and cheap status qualifying to the mix. Sold!
