What is a heavy bag?

If your baggage weighs more than 23kg or is otherwise large, it will be considered as a heavy or large bag. A handling fee, that will be charged when travelling with heavy or large bags, covers the special handling arrangements that need to be made for such bags. The heavy bag charge can be paid at the airport only.

Please keep in mind that your baggage should only include personal items you need during your trip. We cannot accept larger items, such as furniture, to be carried as checked baggage; they must be shipped as cargo.

Baggage weighing more than 32kg will need to be checked in separately as cargo. If you’re planning to travel with such a bag, please contact Finnair Cargo.

Some special items, for example wheelchairs, some sports equipment and large musical instruments that exceed the maximum measures may be accepted with a prior approval. In that case please contact Finnair Customer care.
