Finnair Airlines Cancellation and Refund Policy

Sometimes, plans change, and you might need to cancel your Finnair flight even after booking. No worries! Finnair has a helpful cancellation policy to support travellers. Lots of folks have successfully canceled their flights and gotten refunds through this policy. To make the most of it, just understand the rules, and you'll get your reimbursements on time.

Finnair's cancellation policy is designed to give you flexibility and ease of mind. If you have a refundable (Flex) ticket, you can get a full refund by canceling within a certain timeframe. For non-refundable tickets (like all non-Flex fares), Finnair might let you change your travel dates or give you a voucher for future use if you need to cancel.

Finnair's 24-hour Cancellation Policy

Finnair's 24-hour cancellation policy lets everyone cancel their flights without any extra charges or fees if:

You bought your ticket a week or more before your flight, and
You cancel within 24 hours of booking.

This rule applies to all ticket types, even the ones that are usually non-refundable.

Note – If you want a refund, first cancel your flight and then fill out Finnair's online refund form.

Process to cancel Finnair flight tickets

If you need to cancel your Finnair flight, you can do it in a few easy ways: online through their website, on the phone, or by talking to the travel agent you got your ticket from.

But before you cancel, take a look at your ticket's terms and conditions. That way, you'll know if there are any fees or rules about canceling.

Here's how you can cancel online:

Open the official page of Finnair.com in your web browser.
Find and click on "Manage," leading you to the Manage booking page.
Type in your booking reference number (like S4RT7H) and your last name from the booking confirmation.
Select "Search" to see your flight details on the next page.
Click "Cancel flights" and read the information in the pop-up.
Press "Continue" (your booking won't be cancelled yet).
Review and choose the flights and passengers you want to cancel.
Check the box at the bottom of the screen.
Click "Confirm booking cancellation" to complete the cancellation.

Finnair Cancellation Fees

If you decide to cancel a Finnair flight with a non-refundable ticket, you will lose almost the entire fare, except for refundable taxes and fees. It may seem a bit strict, but non-refundable tickets are usually cheaper than flexible ones.

Finnair does this so people know what to expect when they pick non-refundable tickets. If you want the option to cancel without a big fee, think about getting a refundable (Flex) ticket. The good news is, that there's no cancellation fee for Flex tickets, whether you're flying in Economy, Premium Economy, or Business.

And guess what? If you have an Economy Flex ticket, it won't cost you anything to cancel - it's $0 cancellation fees.
