What to Expect When you Fly With Finnair

Overall it is more of the traditional airline experience as Finnair is a full-service carrier and is not as low-cost. This will enable you to make your trip a smooth and pleasurable one free of surprises.

• Baggage & Fare Structure: Finnair's fare families, typically referred to as Light, Classic and Flex on Economy, are the difference in how many bags of baggage, flexibility, and choice of seats accompany these tickets. Fares are lighter if they are just for a cabin bag and higher if you're checking bags and/or can make changes more easily.
• Onboard Services: While there are on the majority of long-haul flights, provided complimentary meals and drinks in economy class and in-flight entertainment on screen. Snack and beverages could possibly require these to be purchased separately on many short haul European flights, depending on fare and route.
• Seat Arrangement and Comfort: Most of Finnair's widebody planes, including the Airbus A350, feature three cabins: Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class, with the exception of narrowbody planes on European routes which are usually equipped in Economy and Business Economy configuration and have extra-legroom options for additional costs.
• Check-in and Boarding: Online check-in is generally available many hours before departure, and is the quickest and easiest way to obtain a boarding pass. For those who want to check-in at an airport by hand, there are also check-in counters, as well as self-service kiosks, in the major hub airports.

Generally, flying with Finnair is reasonably comfortable and reliable, especially for travelers with a layover connecting Europe and Asia via Helsinki, benefiting from the airport's customer-friendly ambiance and efficient layover periods.

Frequent Flyer Program

Finnair maintains the loyalty of its customers using its frequent flier program, Finnair Plus, which is based on Avios and tier points. Avios are a flexible points currency used by multiple Oneworld partner airlines and tier points drive tier allocations that lead to elite status.

Finnair Plus Membership

The membership in Finnair Plus is free of charge and can be obtained from Finnair website or app. Avios points can be accrued on Avios eligible Finnair flights, as well as on flights flown by Oneworld partner airlines, or via certain airline partners such as hotel, car hire services and shopping. The points can later be redeemed for travel bookings, travel upgrades or other travel-related rewards.

Elite Tiers and Benefits

Passengers will 'earn' tier points as they travel that help them to rise in tier, making their membership roughly equivalent to traveler levels in Oneworld: Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Depending on the level achieved benefits can cover:

• Priority boarding, security and check-in.
• Checked bag allowance (extra).
• Access to airport lounges, including the top tier lounges at Helsinki Airport for Finnair "Platinum Wing" members.
• Free seating, even Economy Comfort or extra legroom.
• Priority baggage handling, to and from the aircraft.

The Finnair loyalty programme is by turns most useful for those that use the airline regularly or those that regularly connect through the airline's hub in Helsinki to get to other Oneworld destinations.

Flexible Booking and Cancellations for Finnair Flights

Plans change and Finnair is aware of this. Due to this reason the airline provides easy cancellation and change options. The fare type that you purchase when you book Finnair Flight tickets determines the flexibility of changes and cancellation. 

Key Flexible Booking Options

• Fare-Based Flexibility: Flex and Classic fares typically offer flexibility to change the dates and travel plans, while Classic fare (often with surcharges) may be acceptable to change the plan. The light fares are usually the most restrictive and may be permanent or cannot be changed or returned.
• 24-Hour Cooling-Off Period: As per the policy under this rule you can easily cancel your ticket without paying any fees within the 24 hours of purchasing but remember that departure must be seven days away. 
• Travel Credit for Non-Refundable Fares: When a Light or restricted fare cannot be cancelled for a cash refund, Finnair can issue a travel credit which can be used for a future travel subject to fare conditions.
• Airline-Initiated Changes: When Finnair changes or cancels a flight, aircraft customers are usually advised via email and offered the choice to rebook on another flight or receive a refund.

Changes and Cancellations: What You Need to Know

Generally, changes can be done either on the Finnair website or mobile application, via the “Manage booking” link, or by contacting the customer service directly. The changes and fare variance are largely influenced by the original fare type of Finnair's flight, therefore, it is better to book Finnair flight Classic and Flex fare if you do not want to miss the flexibility in fare computations.

Knowing these fare rules ahead of time will help travelers feel more confident and in control of their travel plan, particularly if they are making changes the closer they get to the travel date.
