Are you eager to spend your Avios, but don’t have quite enough for what you want? Or would you want to give Avios to a friend or family member?
Through your membership account, you can easily buy Avios for yourself and others or transfer your Avios to someone else. In addition, you can also exchange your Avios for tier points to stay on your current tier or get to the next one.
Now you don’t have to wait to travel to collect more Avios. Just purchase the Avios you need and spend them however you wish: on flights or travel class upgrades, or for products and services with our partners. Buying Avios is the fastest and easiest way to increase your account balance right when you need it.
You can purchase for yourself or as a gift a maximum of 200,000 Avios in the calendar year. Please note that the combined maximum amount of Avios that a member can buy or receive is 200,000 Avios per calendar year.
Avios can be purchased from Finnair Shop's Buy Avios page. Please note that you need to log in to see the prices and buy Avios. Avios will be added to your account 1–3 days after the purchase.
Do you want to help someone else travel? Do you know someone who needs additional Avios to qualify for an award flight? Why not buy them Avios as a gift! You can buy gift Avios to your family members, friends, employees – anyone with a Finnair Plus account.
You can also transfer your Avios to other people. Transferred Avios will not count towards the Finnair Plus tier point balance but can be used for purchasing all kinds of valuable rewards.
A €10 service charge will be added, when you transfer Avios through the finnair.com website. For Avios transfers made through our customer service, a €20 service charge will be added. Finnair Visa Credit cardholders can transfer Avios to another Finnair Plus account free of charge at Finnair Shop. Please note that Avios transfers between Finnair Plus accounts are not counted as Avios activity and do not affect the Avios expiry date. Avios cannot be transferred to a Finnair Plus Junior account.
If you need some extra tier points to stay in your current Finnair Plus membership tier or if you want to move up to the next tier, you can exchange 3 Avios for 1 tier point with a minimum exchange of 500 tier points.
The maximum amount of tier points available for exchange is based on your current tier at the time of exchange.
Exchanged tier points will be instantly added to your account. The points are valid until the end of your current tracking period.
Double-check the tier points you need before completing the exchange, as the transaction is non-refundable and you may only exchange once during your personal tracking period. A service fee of €10 will be charged for exchanges online and €20 for exchanges through our customer service.
Note: tier points from exchange are not considered tier points earned from Finnair flights, which is a requirement for Platinum Lumo status.
