You’ll find the benefits here. The best way to find out about upcoming offers is to subscribe to the Finnair Plus newsletter through your Finnair Plus account.

Can I open a Finnair Plus account for my business or family?

How do I find out my Finnair Plus point balance?

You’ll receive your current point balance by subscribing to the Finnair Plus newsletter. Alternatively, you can check your online point statement, which shows you how many tier and award points you’ve earned, as well as when they’re going to expire – just log in to the Finnair Plus website and click Point info.

What is the difference between tier points and award points?

You earn award points when you take scheduled flights operated by Finnair and the other oneworld airlines, or buy products and services from Finnair Plus partners. There’s plenty of exciting ways to spend your award points on Finnair Plus awards.

You earn tier points when you take Finnair flights or scheduled international flights operated by oneworld airlines. Collecting tier points allows you to move up through the Finnair Plus membership tiers – with each tier upgrade, you’ll get access to even more varied and valuable benefits.

How do I qualify for the next Finnair Plus tier?

There are four Finnair Plus tiers – Basic, Silver, Gold and Platinum. In order to move from one tier to the next, you need to collect sufficient tier points by taking flights operated by Finnair or the other oneworld airlines. You can check your tracking period and point balance by logging in to your Finnair Plus account.

If you want to make sure to stay in your current tier or move up to the next, you can exchange award points for tier points. It’s fast and easy to exchange points through our online service for a service fee. You can also call the Finnair Plus Service Center.

I've lost my Finnair Plus card – what should I do?

You can order a new Finnair Plus card by logging in to your Finnair Plus account. Before ordering, please make sure that your address details are up to date in your Finnair Plus profile. You’ll receive your replacement card by post in approximately three weeks, but in the meantime, you can continue to use your Finnair Plus membership number as usual – your number will not change when you get a new card.

I have over 40,000 points in my account – can I become a Silver tier member?

You move from tier to tier by collecting tier points. In order to move up to the Silver tier, you need to collect 40,000 tier points during your personal 12-month tracking period. You earn tier points when you take scheduled flights operated by Finnair or the other oneworld airlines.

When you buy products and services from Finnair Plus partners, you earn award points, which you can spend on Finnair Plus awards. Unlike tier points, award points do not allow you to move up through the Finnair Plus membership tiers.

You can check your award and tier point balance, as well as your tracking period, by logging in to your Finnair Plus account.

I need 4,500 tier points to move up to the Silver tier – can I buy these points?

You cannot buy tier points, but you can exchange award points for tier points.

How can I claim missing flight points?

You can claim missing points by logging in to your Finnair Plus account.

I bought something from a Finnair Plus partner but I didn’t have my membership card with me – can I still claim my points?

Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to retroactively claim points for purchases made from Finnair Plus partners. Therefore, we advise you to keep your Finnair Plus membership card with you at all times, not just when you’re travelling.

Can I use my points to pay excess baggage charges?

You can use your points to pay for additional baggage for all Finnair flights (flights operated with Finnair aircraft and with an “AY” flight number on the ticket).

Please log in to your Finnair Plus account and check that your profile information is up to date. Find out more about the automatic check-in.

I received a text message about a travel class upgrade – what does this mean?

You can use your points to upgrade from Economy Class to Business Class on all Finnair scheduled international flights departing from Helsinki, provided that there are Business Class seats available. If you receive a text message offering you a travel class upgrade and would like to take advantage of that offer, it’s a good idea to do so as quickly as possible, because seat availability is limited.

The travel class upgrade availability only applies to specific flights and passengers. The text message offer is valid on scheduled Finnair flights, excluding flights within Finland.

If you receive a travel-class-upgrade text message after you have checked in, you do not have to check in again.
