Documents required at the airport
At the Finnair service desks in the airport, you will need a passport or other valid travel document required for travel to your destination in addition to the ticket or e-ticket ID (credit card or identity card).
In addition to these, you will need at least one of the following to confirm your online check-in: text message confirmation; a printed boarding pass that you have printed out yourself or which has been printed at the check-in desk; or the e-ticket travel itinerary/receipt. At some airports the authorities require that you have a boarding pass printed out at the check-in desk. You will be notified about the rules concerning your flight when you check in online.
Baggage
If you only have carry-on baggage, most airports will allow you to go directly to the security check and then to your gate. You can leave your checked baggage at the Baggage Drop desk within the normal check-in times.
