looking at flights for august and obviously looking for the best price i can find but not at the expense of good srvice and reliability.
i saw some prices on travelsupermarket.com for ebookers but when you click to go on the site the flight and price is no longer available(a trick to get you on the site i assume)and all the prices therein are inflated 
opodo are offering cheap flights from manchester with finn air but i have never heard any feedback on finn air .
any others bm's been with finn air? booked with opodo? or with ebookers?
and feedback is appreciated guys as i really want to get booked soon as i can 
thanks .

Booked my last half-dozen trips or so with opodo, never had any issues, used them for other destinations other than Thailand too, they always offer competitive rates.
The only comment I would make is if you are likely to want to change your return date after you have purchased your ticket, ensure it is a 'changeable' date, not fixed. I have had this issue with Thai Airways tickets I have purchased in the past and the only alternative offered was to buy a whole new single ticket for my return journey. Naturally I didn't do it.
Always flown from London Heathrow and never used Finn Air, sorry. |

Just booked Eva with WestEast Travel for mid august. was a great deal for Biz class, but they also had some neat deals in economy too.

Travelsupermarket is my first stop for flights these days. I just saved my brother £200 on a ticket to Seattle using them, and have never experienced the problems you have been having.
Finnair operate to Bangkok from Helsinki (which im assuming you'd transit through) using the somewhat ageing MD11 aircraft, that I think, is older than me.  Eventually will be on a new A340, but until then , I'd never look at using them.
Its always departing just as im boarding my EVA flight to Heathrow, and looks it's age too. By no means expect Individual In flight Entertainment, and judging by some photos of the cabin, a particularly comfortable ride neither.
A good website for passenger opinions is www.airlinequality.com
All comments are based on you being an economy passenger. Never had the privilege of Business/Club myself (although, with a new career change soon, BA Club World will be the norm hopefully!  )
There's alot of airlines to choose from at MAN, but I'd recommend EVA from Heathrow anyday.  |

just booked my sep. trip with finnair.... i only paid 3700DKK what is close to 24.000 bath for the ticket...
if i had booked with SAS or THAI...the price would have been the double...
so i dont mind the 1 hour stay in Helsinki...or the old plane...ill just have some booze and a sleeping pill on board...  |
