Oh cr*p. Scheduled to fly from LHR to MSY at 13:55. Maybe the storm doesn't reach LHR before the evening?

As for the positioning flight, AY is by no means obligated to do anything but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Just had a surprisingly good experience with Cathay on this. Because of sudden travel restrictions in the Philippines, an original itinerary of MNL-HKG-AMS would turned into a quarantine in MNL and/or Not allowed to leave the Philippines to HKG anyway. Cathay was happy to change the itinerary to SIN-HKG-AMS. They charged a 40 "office" fee. (To clarify, the pax was in SIN and realized that if they fly to MNL to catch their CX flight, they'd be f'd.)
Not saying that Janica would ever allow this, but saying that stranger things have happened under the current thing.

I found Tll-Hel-del-hel-tll, 1336 EUR business, I think that get same points as Bkk, correct?
Is that possible has long stopover in Helsinki, 1 or 2 nights?
If try to book in finnair.fi, can book economy class only if multicity booking.
Anyone has experience India visa, possible get cheap online visa?

Same number of points, yes.
Use ITA Matrix to find what you want, and if AY.com can't sell it to you, call AY and they'll book it for you. They will void the phone booking fee of 50 euros if you insist that it can't be booked online.
Apply for your visa on the Government website: https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html

No problems, flight arrived at MSY about ten minutes behind schedule and it was a smooth flight throughout. A bunch of shorthauls were cancelled, though.

On HEL runway onboard AY7037 to RVN now and thinking about approach strategy. I would like to offer my Erica(m..dr..skim)-drink to a certain person if she is onboard, but how to localize her?
