Extra baggage fees | Finnair Denmark

Extra baggage fees

We have changed our baggage fees as of 8 April 2025.

If you are travelling with more bags than is included in the baggage allowance marked on your ticket, extra baggage fees apply.

The maximum amount of baggage per passenger is 10 pieces. Finnair Plus members can also use their Avios to pay for extra baggage fees. Each fee is for flights in one direction.

Extra baggage fees are non-refundable except when the ticket is refunded due to disruptions such as flight cancellations.

Please note that at the airport, fees can be charged according to local currency and are subject to exchange rates.

Flights between Asia and North America
If you travel between Asia and North America via Helsinki, the extra baggage fees listed for flights to/from North America will be applied.

Travelling with skis, golf bag or a surfboard?
Skiing equipment, golf equipment and surfboards are considered special baggage that need to be purchased separately in addition to the standard baggage allowance. The pricing is the same as for normal extra checked bags – check the prices from the Checked baggage fees section below.

From 1 April 2025 onwards, extra baggage fees are based on the date when your flight ticket was purchased. Exception: If you want to buy a carry-on bag or a pet in the cabin, the current price applies.

Carry-on baggage fees

If your amount of carry-on baggage exceeds the carry-on baggage allowance of your ticket, you need to pay for the extra baggage. You can purchase an extra carry-on bag only when your ticket type is Economy Superlight that does not include the carry-on bag. 

You can purchase an extra carry-on bag at the time of booking or later via Manage booking.

Checked baggage charges at the airport

If your itinerary includes flights operated by another airline, please pay for your extra baggage at the airport. The price of your extra baggage is determined by the operating carrier.

The tables below contain the charges for Finnair flights for checked bags up to 23 kg. If your ticket includes flights from other airlines, IATA standards of the Most Significant Marketing Carrier (MSMC) define which airline’s baggage regulations apply to those flights. Excess baggage fees are defined by the airline that is carrying out the check-in. If possible, the extra bag charges are calculated according to the Most Significant Marketing Carrier’s extra bag charges.

Please note that cash payments are not accepted for Finnair services at Helsinki Airport.
