Finnair Expands Light Tickets to Europe and Middle East

Travel News Asia Latest Travel News Podcasts Videos Wednesday, 22 April 2015
 

From 5 May 2015, Finnairs Light ticket type, a hand-baggage only fare, will be offered on flights throughout Finnairs network in Europe and the Middle East, with the exception of Russia.

Light is the lowest-fare option in Finnairs ticket type offering. All other ticket types continue to include checked baggage.

Since we introduced Light fares on domestic, Scandinavian and Baltic routes last March, we have seen a positive reaction from customers who tend to travel without checked baggage, particularly from travellers on short trips, said Tomi Hnninen, Vice President, Revenue Management and Pricing. We are hopeful that by extending this offering in more markets, Finnairs range of ticket types offers a suitable option for every type of traveller.

Finnair Plus Platinum, Gold and Silver members, as well as members of equivalent oneworld loyalty programs in the Emerald or Sapphire tiers, are entitled to one extra piece of checked baggage in addition to that which is provided by their ticket type. Thus, those frequent flyers can check one bag free of charge while flying with Light tickets.

If needed, checked baggage can be purchased in advance or at the airport. The prepayment baggage charge is considerably lower than the airport baggage charge.

Light tickets are not currently offered on long-haul intercontinental flights.
