Star Alliance airline Air China is currently offering cheap flights from Helsinki to Manila in the Philippines. What really stands out in this deal, is that you can take 2 pieces of luggage with you.
From Helsinki you would fly to Stockholm with CityJet. From there Air China would fly you to Beijing before then continuing to Manila. Air China operates an Airbus A330 on these flights.
