Booking seats
We always make sure that children sit next to one of their parents during the flight. However, we can’t guarantee that the whole family is seated next to each other. If you want to ensure seats next to each other for all family members, we recommend you select and purchase your seats in advance in Manage booking or in the Finnair App.
All Finnair intercontinental flights have some baby bassinets on them. In order to use a baby bassinet, please reserve a seat suitable for a bassinet via Manage booking or in the Finnair App. If you have bought your flights or holiday package from a tour operator, you can still purchase your seat in Manage booking or in the Finnair App.
You may bring your own child seat or child car seat with you if your child is under 7 years old and you have reserved him or her a seat on board. Please read the safety requirements below.
Please note that if you want your 0–2-year-old child to travel on a separate seat and have more space on board for your family, you can book a ticket for an infant through our customer care.
Travelling in our renewed Business Class on long-haul flights
Please note that the new Business Class seats in our A350 and A330 aircraft do not support using a child seat. All children over 2 years of age must use regular safety belts and be able to sit in the seat on their own during take-off and landing. Due to the shell design of the Air Lounge seat, it is not possible to reach the child from another seat when the seat belt sign is on.
If a child is unable to sit in their seat and use the safety belt properly, our cabin crew may need to move the child and their parent to another travel class during take-off and landing, if there are seats available, to ensure everyone’s safety.
Our new Premium Economy Class is also a good choice when travelling with small children on long-haul flights.
