Seat selection

We will introduce changes to selecting seats during check-in as of 1 June 2023. Read more

Add some peace of mind to your flight by purchasing a seat in advance when booking your flight or later via Manage booking or the Finnair app. You may also purchase your seat by contacting your travel agent.

We do our best to offer seats next to each other for travellers on the same reservation, but please note that this is not always possible. By purchasing seats in advance, you can choose seats next to each other for you and your travel companion.

Prices may vary; you can see the exact prices when selecting your seat.

Special cases

You can reserve a seat in advance for a flight operated and marketed by Finnair. If you are travelling on a flight operated by Finnair but your ticket has been issued by another airline, you can reserve your seat via Manage booking. If you are travelling on a flight operated by Finnair’s partner airline, the rules of this airline apply (including baggage policies, purchasing travel extras and special service requests).

Seats assigned during check-in

Once the check-in opens and you have not reserved a seat in advance, a seat is automatically assigned to you. You can change the given seat and purchase an available seat to your liking before the departure of your flight.

Online check-in opens 36 hours before departure and 24 hours before departure for flights to/from the United States.

If you are travelling with children and you decide not to reserve seats in advance, our system will assign children under 12 to sit next to at least one adult on the same reservation. You can freely change seats among your travel party on the same reservation. If the system fails to find seats for the children next to a familiar adult, we will fix it in customer service, at the airport check-in or at the departure gate.

A requested seat cannot be guaranteed, as it may need to be changed for operational, safety or security reasons.

The seat reservation fee will not be refunded if you cancel the flight, are involuntarily upgraded, or in case you are not suitable to sit in the seat type selected.

The seat reservation fee will be refunded if you cannot be seated in the reserved seat type or in a suitable alternative seat due to Finnair.

The seat reservation fee will be automatically refunded if you upgrade your travel class online. In other cases, please fill in the refund form.

Changes in dates are possible according to the terms and conditions of your ticket. If you have reserved a paid seat and you change your flight times in accordance with your fare rules, you need to reserve your paid seat again for the new flight. You may then apply for a refund of the costs of the seat reservation on the original flight.
