How to Book
Search on seats.aero and filter by Finnair (AY). Book on finnair.com, alaska.com, or qantas.com depending on which program you use.
Using the Availability Data
The availability cards above show real-time award space from seats.aero, updated throughout the day. Each card shows a date, route, points price, and which program is offering it. When multiple programs show space on the same date, the cheapest option is listed first.
If you see filter pills above the cards, you can narrow results to a specific program. Hovering over a program name shows which credit card points transfer to it.
Before you transfer points: Always verify the availability directly on the booking program's website. Award space can disappear between the time seats.aero checks and when you go to book. Transfer points only after you have confirmed the seat exists on finnair.com, alaskaair.com, or aa.com. Points transfers are one-way and non-reversible.
