Carry-on baggage
Information regarding carry-on baggage
- All carry-on baggage must be suitable for stowing in the overhead lockers, clothes closets or under the seat in front of you. Passengers seated at the emergency exits, in the first row and in the lie-flat seats in Business Class, must stow their carry-on baggage in the overhead lockers.
- Due to lack of space, Finnair may have to further restrict the carry-on baggage allowance.
- We ask that you stow large, heavy bags under the seat in front of you, leaving room in the overhead lockers for coats and to prevent the coats from getting dirty.
- In addition to the allowances listed below, passengers may in all classes carry onboard a small handbag, a small camera or binoculars, baby food, reading material, an overcoat and, if required, a cane or mobility aid, such as elbow crutches.
