Accessibility

Finnair's bus connections to Turku and Tampere are primarily operated with high-floor buses, which unfortunately cannot accommodate customers in wheelchairs.

If you are using a wheelchair, please inform us at least 48 hours before the departure time, so we can request the bus company to allocate a bus equipped with a wheelchair lift and space for the upcoming journey. The maximum load capacity of the wheelchair lift is 250kg. The bus driver will assist in securing both the wheelchair and the person in the wheelchair safely onto the bus.

Assistance dogs, such as hearing or guide dogs, are welcome on the bus with you at no extra charge.  

* Priority services (priority check-in, bag drop and security) are not included if the bus connection is bought separately from the flight booking, or if it is combined with a codeshare flight operated by Finnair's partner airline. Find out what codeshare flights are.
