Award flights

You can use your points to purchase Finnair Plus award flights. In addition, your immediate family and persons in the same household may buy award flights using your points. Please remember that flight awards do not include taxes and passenger fees, so you’ll need to pay these charges separately.

There are two ways to purchase Finnair Plus award flights – using points only, or using a combination of money and points. If you want to use your Finnair Plus points to pay for your flight, just tick the Award flights box when making your reservation on our website.

Classic award flights

With a Classic award flight, you can use your Finnair Plus points to purchase return tickets for routes operated by Finnair. You can also use your points to book code-share flights that are operated in cooperation with another airline – however, in this case, certain additional restrictions apply. Classic awards are also available for one-way Finnair scheduled flights bound for Finland, northern Europe and other destinations in Europe.

Classic awards for return flights cost less if you book them through the Finnair website. Please remember that flight awards do not include taxes, passenger fees and other applicable surcharges, so you will need to pay these separately.

To book a Classic flight award, tick the Award flights box when making your reservation on our website and log in to your Finnair Plus account in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Your user name is your Finnair Plus membership number without the AY prefix or spaces. If you have lost your password, you can order a new one in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Any Seat reservations

One of the unique features of Finnair Plus is that it allows you to pay for flights using a combination of money and points – this is known as an Any Seat reservation. The great thing about Any Seat reservations is that they let you use your points whenever you book a trip, no matter how many you may have in your account. You choose what portion of the ticket price you pay using points and what portion you pay using money, so there’s no need to wait until you’ve saved enough points to cover the entire fare.

You can use the combination of money and points for any Finnair flight (provided that the flight is marked with an AY code) available on our website.

The combination of money and points in the Money and points offers is always predefined and cannot be changed. Money+Points offers are not eligible for Finnair Plus points accrual.
