Customer Service Plan (United States)
Lowest Fare Available
Customers making their bookings with Finnair via our website, our Customer Care Center or at our airport ticket office will be offered the lowest available fare for the time, date and class of service requested. All flight bookings will include service and other fees in addition to the fare.
Keeping Customers Informed
Finnair will do its best to provide customers at the airport and onboard an affected aircraft with timely and frequent updates regarding known delays, cancellations, and diversions, and will strive to provide the best available information concerning the duration of delays. It is also Finnair's policy to inform customers in advance of any possible irregularities with text messages at the mobile phone number provided in the reservation record.
For flights to and from the U.S., we will provide timely updates, within 30 minutes of becoming aware of a cancellation, delay or diversion, through the flight status pages of our website, Finnair's telephone reservations line, and any airport flight displays in U.S. airports that are under our control.
In case of a flight delay beyond two hours we will offer appropriate assistance and refreshments, provided that local conditions allow for such assistance to be delivered. The assistance may not be provided if doing so would further delay departure.
When cancellations or major delays are experienced Finnair will attempt to reroute its customers on the next available connection. If the delay or cancellation was caused by events within our control and we are not able to transport you to your final destination on the expected arrival day, we will provide reasonable overnight accommodation, subject to availability.
Meeting Customers' Needs
Finnair's top priority is the safety and well-being of its customers, and we are focused on having all our flights arrive and depart on schedule. On very rare occasions unforeseen events may cause a lengthy onboard delay either prior to take off or after landing. We will take all reasonable measures to ensure passengers are kept up to date with the latest information available, and for significant onboard delays, provide snack refreshments, lavatory facilities, and access to basic medical assistance.

Guaranteed Fares and Refunds
The fares quoted in reservations made with Finnair via our website or by telephone, are guaranteed for 24 hours. If the reservation was made seven days or more prior to the flight's scheduled departure time, you can cancel it within 24 hours without refund fee. For additional information in the US, please contact Finnair.
Ticket Refunds
Finnair will strive to process eligible refunds in a timely manner. For all eligible tickets, products and services purchased within the US with a credit card or cash, refund will be provided within 7 business day of receipt of the required refund information. Purchases made with a check will be refunded within 20 business days.
Overbooking and Denied Boarding
Finnair may on rare occasions be unable to provide you with a seat on a specific flight, even though you hold a confirmed reservation and have checked in on time. Finnair will under such circumstances take care of its customers and provide compensation as required by law.
Baggage Delivery
If your checked bag is delayed or misplaced Finnair will do everything possible to locate it and deliver it within 24 hours. Further information about Finnair's policies and services are available on our website, through our Customer Care Center and representatives at the airport.
Complaint Response
Your feedback is important and helps us to make changes to practices and procedures. To provide your feedback or make a complaint, please contact Customer Relations. Under normal circumstances we will provide a substantive response to written complaints within 28 days from the date of receipt. When this does not permit sufficient time for the complaint to be properly investigated an interim response will be provided giving the reason for the delay.
Policies and Services
Finnair will provide clear information to its customers about cancellation policies, frequent flyer rules, aircraft seating configuration, and lavatory availability on our website and through our telephone reservation staff.
