Changes in our traffic plan for summer 2023

Finnair has updated its traffic plan for the summer season on 26 March – 28 October 2023. See the instructions here if your travel plans are affected due to changes.

Finnair has adjusted its traffic plan for the summer season on 26 March – 28 October 2023. We are temporarily discontinuing our Seattle flights as of 1 September 2023. We will resume our Seattle flights again for the summer season 2024.

We are adding frequencies to several European capitals and start flying to Ljubljana, Billund, and Linate Airport in Milan. In addition, we start flying to Bodø, which is a new destination for Finnair.

The traffic plan update also includes flight cancellations and schedule changes. We are closely monitoring the performance of our routes and profitability of the entire network and fleet. We are sorry about the harm and inconvenience these changes may cause to your travel plans.

We are temporarily discontinuing our Mumbai flights as of the beginning of August 2023. We still continue to operate daily flights to Delhi, and we resume our Mumbai flights again for the summer season 2024.

If there would be any further changes to the traffic plan, we will communicate about them directly to the affected customers. You can check available destinations and flights on our booking engine.

How do I know if my flight is cancelled or the schedule is changed?

If there are changes to your flight, we’ll contact you personally via SMS and/or email. We are making changes gradually and will inform the affected customers within a couple of days. Please go to Manage booking and check that we have your current contact information.

Your options if your flight is cancelled

If you have received a message of a flight cancellation, these are your options:

  • We do our best to re-route you to your destination with other Finnair flights. Please note that the availability of alternative flights is currently limited. We’ll send you your new flight information via SMS and/or email. Please accept the change or to see other possible flight options in Manage booking.
  •  If we were are unable to offer you an alternative flight but you wish to travel, you can contact our customer service for re-arrangements.
  • In case you don’t want to use any of the flights in your booking and want to cancel your whole booking and apply for a refund, you can do it online in Manage booking.
  • If you want to use some of the flights in your booking and apply for a refund of a cancelled flight, please contact our customer service.
  • For flight tickets purchased through other service providers, such as a travel agent, please contact them directly to make changes to your booking or apply for a refund.

Please note that due to the schedule or/and flight change, unfortunately we might not be able to confirm some of the pre-purchased or pre-booked travel extras such as meals or pet transportation to your new flights. You can check your confirmed services in Manage booking. If you do not receive travel extras purchased from Finnair, you can apply for a refund online. For travel extras purchased through other service providers, such as a travel agent, please contact them directly.
