Finnair is the largest airline in Finland, and is a member of the Oneworld alliance. Finnair flies both domestically as well as internationally within Europe and on long-haul routes around the world.
Although Finnair has introduced an Economy Lite fare option (Economy Lite does not include any free checked bags), but carry-on / hand luggage allowance is the same for all Economy passengers, so you can still bring a standard carry-on sized suitcase even on the Economy Lite ticket.
When flying with sports equipment, be sure to check Finnair's sporting equipment policies below before booking, as Finnair's fees are quite expensive compared to other airlines, especially for long-haul routes.
Carry-On Allowance | 8 / 10 |

If you would like to bring more baggage than what is included in your fare, or if you are flying on an Economy Light, Premium Economy Light, or Business Light fare and would like to add a checked bag, it is best to do so online ahead of time. You can add baggage to your reservation online for a cheaper price than paying for your checked bags at the airport. The earlier the better, as prices go up within 6 days of departure, and then even higher at the airport.
