Mixed Class Airlines
Whilst many airlines don’t want to sell a mixed class ticket, given the discrepancy it can create with day flights less full than overnight legs, there are a few carriers that offer this kind of airfare. Finnair and Oman Air are 2 great value options to consider flying to Europe. These airlines buy wholesale seats from partner carriers from Australia-Asia, giving them the flexibility to offer a combination of classes.
Finnair
Finnair, a oneworld member airline, is a popular choice for travel to Europe while also appealing to the value-conscious Qantas frequent flyers. Routing through Asia to their hub city of Helsinki, you can then extend onto more than 50 destinations in Europe. Finnair has a modern fleet with great onboard product and service, including the innovative Finnair AirLounge seat in business class. You will get to experience menus crafted by Finnish chefs and relax watching their award-winning in-flight entertainment system. Transiting in Helsinki is smooth and low fuss with access to the Finnair Helsinki Business Class lounges. Mixed Class fares with Finnair are non-refundable and seat selection is a paid add-on. However, high tier Qantas and oneworld members have access to free seat selection and full Business Class fares have options that can be refunded with a minimal penalty, contact our consultants for more details.
