Finnair Plus is offering up to 50% off when purchasing Avios through November 16, 2026. The discount is tiered depending on how many Avios you buy, with 30% off purchases of 5,000 to 19,000 Avios, 35% off 20,000 to 49,000, 40% off 50,000 to 84,000, and 50% off 85,000 to 200,000 Avios. At the highest discount, you can buy Avios for approximately 1.09 cents each when paying in U.S. dollars. This could be a good deal if you have a specific redemption in mind, especially since Avios can be transferred between participating airline loyalty programs, including British Airways, Iberia, Qatar Airways, and Finnair. There are a few eligibility requirements, including having joined Finnair Plus before October 30, 2026, and having at least 50 Avios in your account. If you don't have enough Avios, you can transfer some from another participating Avios program. Finnair is also temporarily resetting its annual purchase limit, allowing eligible members to buy up to 200,000 Avios during the promotion, even if they've already reached their normal annual limit. You can also choose to pay in a different currency. At the time of publishing, paying in Japanese yen would allow you to purchase 200,000 Avios for approximately 1.06 cents each, saving about $60 compared to paying in U.S. dollars. If you pay with an Atmos Summit card, you could earn 3x points on the foreign currency purchase, potentially earning another 6,000 Atmos points.
