Finnair consistently offers excellent value on Business Class trips to Asia. Indeed, outside of any “mega-sale” elsewhere, the Finnair Business Class price list is generally one of my very first reference points for long-haul flights from the UK.

In addition to this, Finnair runs regular special offers. Indeed, until 12 May 2016, you can get even better value as a result of a number of special offers on certain routes from the UK, with long-haul Business Class to China starting at just £1,229 (Bangkok is £1,339).

The Finnair Business Class sale options are as follows (prices quoted are for return flights):

• Xi’an £1,229
• Chongqing £1,249
• Delhi £1,279
• Bangkok £1,310
• Beijing £1,339
• Guangzhou £1,345
• Krabi £1,375
• Phuket £1,380
• Seoul £1,385
• Singapore £1,465

Availability at these prices is currently excellent. Here’s Bangkok in June, for example:

And, similarly, here it is in August – i.e. peak “school holiday” season!:

While this is not quite a sale to rival those occasionally offered by the likes of Qatar, these are still very good value for long-haul Business Class with a high quality carrier. I generally regard any sub-£1500 Business Class flight to Thailand as good value, so £1,310 to Bangkok is a great price.

Finnair is also offering some very reasonably priced long-haul Economy Class flights, as follows (prices quoted are for return flights):

• Beijing £445
• Chongqing £445
• Guangzhou £445
• Xi’an £445
• Bangkok £449
• Seoul £449
• Singapore £450
• Delhi £469

As noted above, you need to book by 12 May 2016. The travel window is less tight: generally speaking you can fly any time between 9 May and December 2016 (the exact day in December will depend on your destination).

Don’t forget that as a Oneworld member, you can also earn Avios (and BA Tier Points) on Finnair flights, should you wish.
