Seats on exit row

Note that most Extra Legroom seats and a few Standard seats are also exit row seats and have added responsibilities, including assisting fellow passengers in the event of an emergency.

To select an exit row seat, you must

  • be at least 12 years old
  • speak and understand English or Finnish*
  • be able to open the exit door and assist the crew if needed.

You cannot sit in an exit row seat if you are in need of a wheelchair or medical assistance, have reduced mobility or visual or hearing impairment, or are travelling with an infant or a pet in the cabin.

It is not possible to use an extension belt on exit row seats.

*Please note that on Finnair flights operated by another airline, knowledge of English is mandatory.

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. Exception: if you have booked your flight through Qatar Airways, please contact them directly for seat reservations. 

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).

A requested seat cannot be guaranteed, as it may need to be changed for operational, safety or security reasons, for example if the aircraft type changes. In such cases, Finnair aims to provide the most suitable alternative.

Paid seats can be refunded if: 

  • Finnair cannot offer you the requested seat type or a suitable alternative. See further details below. 
  • You upgrade your travel class online. In this case, the paid seat will be refunded automatically, and you do not need to apply for a refund. 
  • You change your flight times in accordance with your fare rules. In this case, you need to purchase your seat again for the new flight and then apply for a refund of the cost of the seat reservation on the original flight. 
  • The seat reservation was made seven days or more prior to the flight's scheduled departure time and you cancel it within 24 hours from the purchase.

Paid seats will not be refunded if: 

  • You cancel the flight. 
  • You are not suitable to sit in the selected seat type, for example Exit row seat. 
  • You have selected a Standard or Preferred seat, and you are seated a maximum of five rows from the originally selected seat, and the position of the seat in relation to the window or aisle does not change. 
  • You change your initial paid seat or an alternative seat provided by Finnair yourself to a seat of the same or lower price, or to a seat in a different part of the cabin. The new seat you selected is considered a suitable alternative and is not eligible for a refund.
  • You have selected a Front Row seat or Extra Legroom seat, and you are seated in a different seat of the same type. 
  • Finnair moves you to a higher travel class or offers you a seat with a higher value.

if you are eligible for a refund, please fill in the refund form.
