Finnair to Expand Summer Flight Schedule

Finnair has unveiled plans to expand its flight schedule this summer.

The airline will resume flights to destinations like Reykjavik, Bodø, Nice, Lisbon and Vilnius in June.

Additional frequencies will also be added to Greek islands such as Rhodes, Chania and Santorini, as well as to Mallorca, Malaga and Alicante in Spain.

Finnair’s summer destinations in Italy include Rome, Milan and Venice.

"We closely follow how travel regulations develop across our markets and have the flexibility to increase flights based on demand, seizing opportunities created when travel restrictions are lifted," said Ole Orvér, Finnair's Chief Commercial Officer.

In North America, Finnair plans to resume flights to Chicago and Los Angeles in mid-June and increase frequencies on the New York route to up to thrice weekly. The restart of flights is still subject to the development of US travel guidelines.

To offer customers peace of mind when making travel plans, Finnair has a flexible ticket change policy for all bookings made by 31 August 2021. This means that customers can make changes to their travel dates regardless of their ticket type.

Finnair Corona Cover has also been extended and will now be included in bookings made up until 30 June 2021. The cover is offered at no additional cost with all flight tickets for trips departing on or before 31 August 2021 and which do not exceed 31 days, providing they have been purchased via the Finnair website or mobile app.

The cover is available for customers travelling abroad from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain or Ireland.

Finnair Corona Cover is designed to supplement other travel insurance a traveller may have and provides extra cover in case a traveller tests positive for COVID19 whilst at their destination.

The cover is provided by AIG Europe S.A. and by its Switzerland branch for Switzerland. Terms and conditions apply.

To help safe guard themselves, and others, passengers and crew are required to wear a mask at the airport and onboard flights.

Finnair also requires customers travelling to Finland to present a negative COVID19 test certificate or proof of a previous COVID19 infection. From 11 May, Finnair will also accept a COVID19 vaccination certificate. There is no requirement for travellers aged between 12-15 to present a certificate.
