Partnerships take you further – discover the world with Finnair and our partner airlines

The whole world at your fingertips

We serve almost 100 destinations in Finland, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America. But when paired with our extensive network of partner airlines, this number soars to more than 1,000 destinations.

We offer flight connections with out oneworld alliance partners, as well as more than 55 other airlines, covering all the continents. “Together with our partners, we connect Finland with the world – and the world with Finland. Through this expanded network, we can offer our customers connections to destinations near and far,” says Fredrik Wildtgrube, Senior Vice President of Alliances and Airline Partnerships at Finnair. “Our destination offering is constantly expanding, driven by our small yet dynamic Airline Partnerships Team, who stay attuned to the latest travel trends and emerging destinations,” he continues. “We are continuously on the lookout for new valuable additions to our destinations — we always have something up our sleeve,” adds Carles Vallribera Magem, Head of Alliances and Partnership Development at Finnair. 

“In our team we translate our genuine passion for travel into our work, continuously enhancing and expanding Finnair’s vast range of destinations,” describes Katrin Underwood, Senior Manager Airline Partnerships at Finnair.

Finnair Plus benefits

Making good use of our partner airlines means not only providing you with countless destinations to choose from but also bringing you loyalty benefits and tier recognition.

As a Finnair Plus member, you collect Avios from your entire journey when flying with one of our oneworld alliance partners. An additional advantage of the oneworld alliance is access to over 600 lounges worldwide, offering eligible customers an extra layer of comfort and luxury while travelling the globe. Codeshare flights, which have a Finnair (AY) flight number, allow us to treat a partner airline’s flight as our own, and customers can collect not only Avios, but also tier points.

Tick off bucket list items

While the northern half of the world is experiencing the cold of winter, it is always summer someplace else. Together with our partner airlines, reaching those warmer destinations near and far becomes possible, and we can cater to all tastes — here are a few sunny destinations that we recommend.

An extremely versatile destination, offering everything from vibrant metropolitan cities to breathtaking nature, is Australia. Discover the beaches and baffling rock formations in Western Australia or uncover the vast landscapes, breathtaking night skies and indigenous heritage of the Red Centre, the home of Uluru. Or why not indulge in world-class wine regions like the Barossa Valley in South Australia? If you want to experience ancient rain forests and the natural wonder of the Great Barrier Reef head to Tropical North Queensland. “It is one of those places you have to visit yourself to truly appreciate the incredible versatility it offers,” says Katrin.

To get into a full beach holiday mood, how about exploring the home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches in Cancún, Mexico?  You can book your accommodation in the famous Hotel Zone, where white beaches meet turquoise waters in a stunning six-mile strip of holiday paradise. Cancún is also only a short trip away from the unique cultural experience of ancient Maya’s Chichén Itzá, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The stunning nature experience of Cenote dos Ojos, a freshwater sinkhole, is also nearby.

If pleasant, summery adventures in Asia spark your interest, these popular destinations offer their own kind of magic: Indonesia’s Bali enchants with its lush jungles, serene temples, and sunsets over volcanic beaches. Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City buzzes with a world-class coffee culture and a fascinating blend of history and modernity, while Hanoi charms with its rich heritage, picturesque Old Quarter, and delicious pho, a Vietnamese soup dish, is offered on every corner. In the Philippines’ Manila, you will find a dynamic cityscape bursting with life, art, and a mix of colonial and contemporary influences. Meanwhile, Cebu beckons beach lovers and adventure seekers with outstanding beaches, waterfalls, and island-hopping opportunities that feel like paradise.

Dream destinations like Tanzania’s Zanzibar, the Seychelles, Fiji, Tahiti, Easter Island, Costa Rica or Hawaii are also just a few clicks away. 

Although, while iconic destinations are always a safe bet and well-known for obvious reasons, the team believes that the true spirit of travelling is to look beyond your usual horizon. This way, you can uncover places you did not even know existed — incredible, hidden gems can even be found close to well-known places. Take Japan, for example: You might be familiar with the country’s bustling cities, but have you heard of Okinawa? This tropical paradise is the southernmost and westernmost prefecture of Japan and encompasses 160 islands. Okinawa offers stunningly beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters perfect for diving or snorkeling, and an unrivalled culinary experience.

“These airline partnerships work both ways  — they also connect Finland with travellers from around the globe,” Fredrik adds. While many seek sunny escapes, others dream of snowy Finland, where Lapland's magic with reindeer and an unspoiled nature, Northern Lights, and Santa Claus await to enchant you. “Thanks to our extensive partner network, these wintery bucket list items are accessible to travellers from all over the world,” he concludes.

You could even add a stopover to maximise your holiday experience. “In combination with our partners, we truly have all possibilities covered. Just go to Finnair.com and begin your search!
