One of the cheapest Round The World fares I've seen in a while. Finnair are a great, full service airline. This RTW fare isn't as simple as others, but if you don't mind the dates and don't mind flying via San Fran, this could really work for you.
To get the exact price, you will need to travel via San Fran during the following dates (01SEP17 - 28SEP17 & 04JUN17- 31AUG17) Not bad considering they are great dates to be transiting through the USA!
Availability Update On Finnair Sale Fare: With strong uptake early in the sale period, flights between Helsinki and San Francisco are exhausted of shoulder season sale seats from June-late August. As of 1 January these dates still have availability but are selling fast…
Helsinki – San Francisco: 5 Sep, 7 Sep, 10 Sep, 24 Sep
San Francisco – Helsinki: 17 Aug, 29 Aug, 3 Sep, 5 Sep, 10 Sep, 12 Sep, 14 Sep, 17 Sep, 19 Sep, 21 Sep, 24 Sep, 26 Sep, 28 Sep.
This availability is subject to change at any time. Please note you can depart earlier than the above dates, with a maximum duration of 3 months. Departing before 1 September would put pricing in to shoulder season rates. Flights must be available in the appropriate sale fare level for the other dates of your trip [e.g. Aus-San Francisco-Helsinki-Europe-Asia-Aus]. Contact our consultants for more info.
All airfares include taxes, luggage, food and drinks (including alcohol)
Either give them a call on 1300 318 227 to price the fare, or head to https://www.roundabouttravel.com.au/airfare-deals/price-my-a… - you can even use their RTW trip planner tool to piece together your trip if you wish. Following the below routing guidelines, once you have your perfect itinerary, you can then give them a call or an email which will save time for them to get it organised for you! The tool can be found here http://www.roundabouttravel.com.au/plan-my-trip/
For those interested, they also have business class RTW fares on sale for $5747 using the exact same routing/dates. Considering I saw a return business flight with Etihad posted here as a deal for over $5k, I would consider this a pretty good price. More details on that can be found here https://www.roundabouttravel.com.au/deals/finnair-business-c…
