Finnair, among other airlines, under the threat of legal action from Amsterdam Airport, is required to limit the number of customers departing from Amsterdam Airport due to heavy congestion at peak times. We need to make changes to reservations on Amsterdam flights and cancel some flights between 26 March – 14 May 2023.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and harm this situation may cause you. We are updating any new information on this page.

How do I know if my reservation is changed?

We will contact you personally via SMS and/or e-mail, if there are changes to your reservation. Please go to Manage booking and check that we have your current contact information, so that we can reach you if needed.

You can choose from the following options, if your flight is cancelled 

• We do our best to re-route you to your destination as soon as possible. As availability of alternative flights is limited, re-routing may take time. Thank you for your patience. We’ll send you your new flight information via SMS and/or email, and you can check it and other possible flight options also via Manage booking.
• If we were are unable to offer you an alternative flight but you wish to travel, you can contact our customer service for re-arrengements.  
• In case you don’t want to use any of the flights in your booking and want to cancel your whole booking and apply for a refund or we have cancelled all flights in your booking, you can apply for a refund online in Manage booking. 
• If you want to use some of the flights in your booking and apply for a refund of a cancelled flight, please contact our customer service. 
• For flight tickets purchased through other service providers, such as a travel agent, please contact them directly to make changes to your booking or apply for a refund.

Due to the flight change, we unfortunately might not be able to confirm some of the pre-purchased or pre-booked travel extras such as meals or pet transportation to your new flights. You can see confirmed services in Manage Booking. If you do not receive travel extras purchased from Finnair, you can apply for a refund online.

n case you need hotel accommodation due to our re-booking and you have already started your journey, we will try to arrange hotel accommodation for you. If you are at the airport, please contact our ground crew at the airport. If we couldn’t arrange accommodation for you or if you are not at the airport and you choose our rebooking, you can book the accommodation yourself and apply for a compensation of reasonable hotel and ground transportation costs afterwards from us.
