Weight concept
The excess-baggage fees listed in the table below apply to customers who have a ticket bearing a Finnair flight number and who are travelling on a Finnair-operated scheduled flight within Finland, Europe and Asia.
In other cases, the excess-baggage fee per kg is 1.5% of the highest published fare of an Economy Class ticket, regardless of travel class (1% on flights to and from Australia and New Zealand).
The fee for special baggage can be paid before check-in at the ticket office at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. At other airports passengers should proceed to check-in for further information.
Piece concept
On flights to the United States and Canada, the piece concept applies. The excess-baggage fee is US$90 or US$110, depending on the destination. The charge for one piece of baggage may be double or triple, depending on the weight and circumference of the bag.
