Due to the closure of the Russian airspace, we have updated our traffic plan for summer 2022. During the summer season we connect customers from Helsinki Airport to almost 70 European destinations, five North American destinations and eight Asian destinations, including new destination Mumbai.

Some long-haul flights to Asia are cancelled, and consequently, frequencies in our European network are adjusted to the resulting decrease in transferring customers. We book you an alternative flight or you can apply for a full refund if your flight is cancelled. We are very sorry if your flight is disrupted. You can read more about changes to our flights to Asian destinations here.

You can check available destinations and flights on booking engine.

How do I know if my flight is cancelled or the schedule is changed?

If there are changes to your flight, we’ll contact you personally via SMS and/or email. Please go to Manage booking and check that we have your current contact information.

Your options if your flight is cancelled 

If you have received a message of a flight cancellation, these are your options:    

• 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. In case you don’t find a suitable alternative flight in Manage booking, you can contact our customer service or your travel agency.  
• In case you don’t want to use any of the flights in your booking and want to cancel your whole booking, you can apply for a refund online. 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. 
• If we have cancelled all the flights in your booking, you can apply for a refund online. 
• Due to the schedule or/and flight change, unfortunately we 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.  
• For flight tickets and extras purchased through other service providers, such as a travel agent, please apply for the refund directly from them.
