Changes in airport services, Finnair lounges will be closed

We are making changes to our airport services to reduce direct contact between our customers and ground crew. This is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew. We ask you to show your travel documents to our check-in agent instead of handing them over. Our crew will continue to assist you at the check-in kiosks but without touching the screens. If you printed your bag tag from a kiosk, we kindly ask you to attach it to your bag yourself.

In addition, we will discontinue the Helsinki Airport Fast Track service and the car service for Finnair Plus Platinum Lumo members as of 1 April, 2020.

We will close our lounges at Helsinki Airport. Finnair Platinum Wing in the non-Schengen side will be closed as of 18 March, and Finnair Business Lounge in the non-Schengen area and Finnair Lounge in the Schengen area will close their doors as of 19 March.

Please note that changes in our partners’ service offering and opening hours of lounges at other airports are also possible due to the coronavirus situation.
