When can I purchase a Business Class upgrade?

Note that the benefits you're getting depend on when you buy the upgrade.

• If you purchase in advance online or through the Finnair app, you get the full benefits of the Business Class upgrade as listed above.
• If you purchase at the airport, priority services and lounge access are not included.

You can start purchasing travel class upgrades with money 59 days before your flight’s departure time at the earliest (from 4 June 2025 onwards: 30 days before your flight's departure time). Upgrades are offered online or through the Finnair app until 3 hours before departure when your flight departs from Helsinki, 8 hours before departure when your flight departs from North America, Asia, Dubai or Doha, and 24 hours before departure when your flight departs from Europe.

Upgrades from Premium Economy to Business Class are currently only available via the Finnair customer service. The fastest way to reach our customer service is via our chatbot Sisu – when using your Avios or upgrade benefits to request an upgrade, you don’t have to queue at all. From 4 June 2025 onwards, upgrades from Premium Economy to Business Class will be available online. We are working on bringing them also to the Finnair mobile app.

Experience our Premium Economy travel class on our long-haul flights and enjoy benefits like:

• a seat in Premium Economy Class with at least a 7" (17.5cm) longer seat pitch compared to the standard Economy Class seats
• better seat recline and a leg rest supporting the whole leg
