Conclusion
There is very little information about this offer on Finnair’s website – only notice that you need to use the old website for the bookings.
UPDATE: We have updated this piece with the direct link to the offer and the table above.
I was able to clarify the destinations and travel and booking dates with Finnair’s communication department.

We are looking into this case. If you happen to know the case number (diaarinumero) or have the court ruling, please email it to me. I called the district court and they were unable to pull up the docs without this.

The post by @disqus_OaXgRij5CL:disqus contains spin, designed no doubt to paint the customers and finnair in biased light. The District Court ruling contains all the objective details, and is fair by all accounts. In fact, Finnair even tried to settle the case before court, but the customers rejected Finnair’s offer, and went ahead with their demands. The customers actively decided to sue, and when you lose your case you can become liable to the defendant for their legal costs, as happened here. After the court judgement, the customers further wanted to evade the judgement in Australia hoping that it is too difficult for finnair to get the judgement enforced there and that they can just forget about it. That turned out badly for the customers.
I have the judgement and will read it later. It is my understanding that the Consumer Ombudsman had decided in their (claimants) favor but Finnair refused to pay because the EC 261/2004’s National Enforcement body for Finland can only issue recommendations, and Finnair most does not comply with them, although they do with the ones in other countries.
Since the District Court judged in Finnair’s favour, and reiterated its judgement again on appeal, the Ombudsman’s opinion in this case does not need to be followed. Shame on the customers for even consulting with Australian lawyers trying their best to evade the judgement.
I am not sure this case went through the Court of Appeals.
