Can I cancel my Finnair flight and get a refund?

Yes, but your eligibility for a refund depends on your ticket type and how far in advance you booked.

24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation

If you made your reservation at least seven days before the scheduled departure, you can cancel it within 24 hours of booking for a full refund with no cancellation fee. This applies to all ticket types, including Superlight and Light.

Refund Rules by Ticket Type

• Flex: Generally fully refundable without a cancellation fee.

• Classic, Light, and Superlight: These are typically non-refundable. If you cancel, you may only be eligible for a refund of unused airport taxes and fees, though a £40 / €50 service fee usually applies to process these.

• Finnair Cancellation Cover: If you purchased this extra, you can claim a refund for non-refundable tickets if you or a close family member cannot travel due to sudden illness or accident (valid medical certificate required).

To apply for a refund, you can use the official Finnair refund form.

Can I change my Finnair booking?

Finnair allows changes to the time and date of your flight, depending on your fare:

• Flex & Classic: Date and time changes are permitted. You can manage this through Manage booking. You will need to pay any difference in fare.

• Light & Superlight: These fares generally do not allow changes or cancellations.

Can I change the name on my Finnair booking?

Yes! If you have a ticket that allows name changes (typically Business, Business Saver, PRO, or Value fares), you can transfer your ticket to someone else. This is the most effective way to recover your money if you cannot fly.

Name Change Fees:

• Travel within Europe: €75

• Travel outside of Europe: €200

Name change fees apply to the entire journey. A major benefit of Finnair’s policy is that you typically do not have to pay the fare difference when changing a name—only the flat fee applies. You can process this by contacting Finnair Customer Care at least one day before departure.
