Extra baggage fees | Finnair China

Extra baggage fees

If you are travelling with more bags than is included in the baggage allowance marked on your ticket, extra baggage fees apply.

The maximum amount of baggage per booking is 10 pieces. Finnair Plus members can also use their award points to pay for extra baggage fees. Each fee is for flights in one direction.

Extra baggage fees are non-refundable except when the ticket is refunded due to disruptions such as flight cancellations.

Flights between Asia and North America
If you travel between Asia and North America via Helsinki, the extra baggage fees listed for flights to/from North America will be applied.

Prepaid charge for checked baggage

When all the flights in one direction of your itinerary are operated by Finnair, you can save time and money with prepaid baggage for that journey. You can purchase up to three pieces of prepaid baggage at the time of booking or through Manage booking after your reservation has been confirmed. The maximum amount of baggage is 10 pieces. 

Please note that if you did not purchase your ticket directly with Finnair and the journey includes flights to/from North America, you may not be able to pay for your baggage online.

Extra bags can be purchased up until 3 hours before departure. Fees are in euros or the equivalent local currency. For departures from Canada, the applicable fees are collected in Canadian dollars; from the USA, Vietnam or Israel in US dollars. When departing from India, local taxes add on to the fee.

Airport charges for checked baggage

If your itinerary includes flights operated by another airline, please pay for your extra baggage at the airport. The price of your extra baggage is determined by the operating carrier.

The tables below contain the charges for Finnair flights. If your ticket includes flights from other airlines, IATA standards of the Most Significant Marketing Carrier (MSMC) define which airline’s baggage regulations apply to those flights. Excess baggage fees are defined by the airline that is carrying out the check-in. If possible, the extra bag charges are calculated according to the Most Significant Marketing Carrier’s extra bag charges.

Please note that cash payments are not accepted for Finnair services at Helsinki Airport.
