How do I ask for a refund for my paid seat?
Advance Seat Selection refund conditions are independent of fare refund conditions. Paid seating will not be refunded if you cancel your flight, are involuntarily upgraded due to over-sales, or are not suitable to sit in the seat type you have selected. Also, if you change the alternative seat provided by Finnair yourself, it will not be refunded as the seat you selected will be considered a suitable alternative.
Paid seating can be refunded if
- there is an aircraft change and Finnair is unable to seat you in a suitable alternative seat
- there is a flight disruption causing you to be moved to another flight and Finnair is unable to seat you in a suitable alternative seat on your new flight
