Extra baggage fees

When all the flights in your itinerary are operated by Finnair (the flight number starts with AY and the ticket number with 105), you can pay in advance for up to three additional pieces of baggage or sports equipment within the size and weight of a standard bag. 

Extra bags can be purchased up until 3 hours before departure.

If you are travelling on a flight operated by Finnair but your ticket has been issued by another airline, or 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.
