Finnair

Booked HEL to HKG through Cathay. First leg is HEL to AMS on Finnair, then AMS to HKG on Cathay. Since it’s a codeshare on one ticket, will bags normally be checked all the way through to Hong Kong? Or do we need to collect and recheck in Amsterdam? Also, when checking in for...

Booked Business Classic direct with Finnair. Routing is PER to SIN on Qantas, then SIN to HEL to EDI on Finnair, and same coming back. During booking it only let me select lounge access in Helsinki on the return. For Singapore it said something like “no lounge available,” which...

Flying Osaka to Helsinki and got an in app offer to upgrade to business for 399€ per seat. Seemed reasonable, but I wanted to see if bidding was an option so I contacted customer support. The rep told me upgrades are 1100€ per seat and said they can’t see or honor the 399€...

Booked a Finnair business class reward seat from LHR using my BA Avios, but can’t figure out what “ticket type” it’s considered. The booking shows class U, includes a free checked bag, and I could pick seats right away (I’m only OW Ruby). Does anyone know if business award seats...

Have a JAL award booked through Finnair. JAL changed the arrival time into HND from 10am to 5pm, so in the JAL app I was offered a free change. I picked a 10am arrival into NRT instead so I wouldn’t lose basically a full day. After confirming, I got a message saying I need to...

My husband and I are both oneworld Sapphire through Qatar, and we’re flying Finnair next month on a domestic flight. Trying to make sure we understand the baggage rules. The oneworld site says that on purely domestic itineraries using the piece system, Sapphire gets one checked...

Got a Finnair HEL to DFW flight coming up, booked in economy through AA. Checked upgrade options and both airlines say no, even though Finnair’s own site shows around 10 premium economy seats open. Finnair told me I have to upgrade through AA since the ticket was issued by them....

Trying to figure out how the new “earn by miles flown” vs “earn by price paid” options work when you’re mixing Alaska flights with Oneworld partners. I fly SEA↔SoCal monthly on Alaska, and a few times a year internationally on partners. I always credit to Alaska, but I can’t...

I’ve got a QR booking that includes a China Southern segment (GZ to DOH) but it carries a QR flight number. If I credit it to Finnair, does it post TPs/Avios like a Qatar-operated flight? Just want to be sure before I lock it in.

Filed for EU261 compensation after my Finnair flight from Seattle to Europe arrived 7 hours late due to a missed connection in Helsinki. Ticket was booked on Finnair’s site using miles (Chase → Avios → Finnair Plus). After 3 months, Finnair replied saying EU261 doesn’t apply...

Booked Trondheim–Helsinki–Nagoya six months ago. A month before the trip, Finnair canceled the first leg and pushed me to the next day which meant missing my Japan flight and arriving 24 hours late. I even offered to get myself to Oslo or Helsinki just to make the original...

Back in July, Finnair rebooked my first leg during a strike so it arrived after my Helsinki–LA flight had already left. I spent six hours trying to reach them calls, texts, emails nothing. Ended up paying out of pocket to fly Oslo–Helsinki just to make the connection. Three...

Was playing around with award searches for a Crete trip in Sep 2026 and lucked into a sweet Finnair redemption. Grabbed DFW > HEL in business for 62.5k CapOne points + $151. Thought I’d be stuck finding economy for my husband, but someone here suggested switching the Finnair...

I have to give Finnair some credit here, getting an entire widebody fleet retrofitted in just over two years is no small feat. That’s a better pace than some airlines even attempt, let alone pull off. I flew the new business class once and while the no-recline concept is...

Just to pile on for anyone flying Finnair this week there’s been a whole wave of industrial action at Helsinki Airport. Ground handling, baggage, services... all affected. They’ve been canceling flights and offering vouchers or rebooking, but with summer schedules heating up,...

Ouch, Finnair dropped around 50 flights on June 2 due to a four-hour strike by the Finnish Aviation Union. Ground handling came to a halt at Helsinki Airport, and it left roughly 3,600 passengers scrambling. I get that labor action is a powerful tool, but it’s always tough when...

Finnair just slashed over 300 flights from late May into June, and it’s a full-on mess. Ground staff walked out baggage, catering, maintenance, the whole works. Some passengers are getting rebooked, but others are stuck with insane layovers or multiple transfers. I feel for...

Finnair has announced the cancellation of approximately one-third of its scheduled flights between May 30 and June 4, 2025, due to strikes by the Finnish Aviation Union.The industrial action is expected to cause significant disruptions at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, affecting...

So Finnair’s letting DAT handle their Helsinki–Barcelona flights this summer. I don’t mind a wet lease, but let’s be real: it never quite matches the “mainline” feel. I'm booked on this route in July, so now I'm wondering what to expect. Anyone flown with DAT recently? Smooth...
