Collect Avios and tier points from flights

When you book a flight with Finnair, you will collect Avios and tier points for both flight tickets and travel extras. In addition to the base fare of the flight ticket, you will collect Avios and tier points from the possible surcharge set by the airline. If there is such a surcharge included in the flight ticket, you can find it in the price breakdown of the booking path under the Taxes, fees and charges as Extra fee. Taxes, other fees and airport and service charges are deducted from the price. The remaining amount is multiplied by each tier’s own multiplier to get the number of Avios and tier points that you will collect.

Example:

Let’s say you book a flight that costs €500. Of the €500, let’s imagine the taxes, other fees and airport and service charges are €25. This means you would deduct €500 – €25 = €475.  

The remaining €475 is multiplied by your tier multiplier like in the table below:

The money you spend on Finnair flights and travel extras will be converted to tier points and Avios with the tier-specific multiplier. The multiplier is the same for tier points and Avios, so you will always collect the same amount of tier points and Avios when you purchase Finnair flights and travel extras.

*Excluding taxes, fees (except for possible Extra fee set by the airline), other airport and service charges and travel extra purchases made onboard the flight or in connection with an award flight.

You can also collect Avios and tier points from Finnair codeshare flights operated by our partners (flight numbers AY2501–AY7000). The amount of Avios depends on your ticket type or booking class and the distance flown.

Codeshare flights are flights that are shared between two or more airlines. They have a Finnair flight number but are operated by a partner airline. Read more about codeshare flights in our FAQ.

Codeshare flight with a ticket type

**On selected routes. Superlight ticket type available from 1 June 2023 onwards.

Codeshare flight without a ticket type

You can find your booking class in your e-ticket.

*First Class is only available on selected flights.

You can also collect Avios and tier points for Finnair leisure flights and holiday packages organised by a third party based on the table below. 

• Finnair leisure flights: flights that are operated by Finnair and the flight number is between AY2001–2500. 
• Holiday package that is organised by a third party*, for example, Aurinkomatkat (Suntours) when the flight is operated by Finnair and the ticket has AY code (scheduled Finnair flights AY0001–AY2000, AY3101–AY3300 and AY7001–AY7500).
• Finnair Plus Silver, Gold, Platinum and Platinum Lumo members collect more Avios and tier points for these flights: Silver members collect 10% more, Gold members collect 15% more, and Platinum and Platinum Lumo members collect 25% more Avios and tier points.

Avios and tier points are shown in the table per flight in one direction.

*Aurinkomatkat, Apollomatkat, Tjäreborg, STS Alppimatkat and Toiviomatkat.

Tour operators also sell holiday packages, and you collect Avios and tier points from the flight part of the package based on the money spent for the flight – the same way you do with other Finnair flights. For example, flight+hotel offers from Aurinkomatkat are such holiday packages.

Please note that it is not possible to collect Avios or tier points for travel extras in connection with leisure flights or scheduled Finnair flights sold by a third party even though the flight is operated by Finnair.
