If you were one of the 5.5 million passengers Finnair carried in the first half of this year, you probably had a pleasant experience. Or, maybe you weren’t impressed with the service. Is this you? For some passengers, complaining to the airline feels uncomfortable, but rest assured, they receive so much feedback that it’s just part of their operations. 

If you were unhappy with any part of your Finnair flight, you should communicate your concerns, and we’re going to show you how and where to do this. Plus, you’ll get some insights on how to get compensation for your trouble.

Typical Finnair Passenger Complaints

As a Finnair passenger, you can officially complain about any issue that bothered you. It’s worth noting, though, that some issues are more likely to result in some kind of compensation, including:

  • Lost and damaged baggage: If you have luggage mishandling complaints, you could get as much as €1,599 in reimbursement.
  • Finnair flights compensation: Depending on the length of the delay and distance of your flight, you could receive between €250-€600.
  • Denied boarding: If your Finnair flight has been oversold, and you’re prevented from boarding as a result, you could also get compensation similar to the amounts for delays and cancellations.

Finnair Contact Info: UK, United States, Canada

As with most airlines, Finnair offers a few ways for passengers to reach out. Depending on your circumstances, one method might be more useful than another. For example, if you’re seeking compensation, it’s best to use their dedicated web form. If you need help with rebooking, you can sometimes get faster results via social media or on the carrier’s app.

Contacting Finnair Customer Service on Social Media 

You can always try to get in touch with the airline by messaging their social media accounts. Some customers report faster response times this way, but understand that this contact method probably isn’t as reliable as others. For compensation and other, more formal complaints, it’s best to use the web form.

You can find Finnair on the following platforms:

  • Twitter / X
  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • TikTok

Finnair Complaints Form

Getting the Results You Want 

Before you contact Finnair, ask yourself what you hope to gain through your complaint. You might simply want to let them know how to improve, but in other cases, you might only be satisfied with some form of compensation.

With this in mind, remember to tell the airline the details of what happened and what you want to fix the issue. Clarity is key here. As such, be sure to include flight numbers, booking details, photos, receipts and other information so your flight can be located.

Finally, include accurate contact information. You might want to send 2 or 3 ways for the airline to reach you. Bottom line, the more information you provide, the better the outcome will be.

While the flight itself was OK, I am very unhappy with the luggage service. We had a 3 hr delay in DFW, plenty of time to load our bags. However, when we arrived at Helsinki, they were not there. After an lengthy search, it was determined that both bags were still in DFW. My wife and I had to spend the first day and a half of our vacation living out of our carry-on bag. Please explain why our bags were not on our flight.

I am writing to formally request compensation for the cancellation of my flight AY100, originally scheduled to depart from Hong Kong to Helsinki at 20:35 on September 27, 2024. I was informed of the cancellation less than 24 hours before departure, and Finnair automatically rebooked me on AY100 departing on September 28, which significantly disrupted my travel plans. My booking reference number is 6GW4WE, and my passport number is EJ6976245. Unfortunately, this rebooking was not a feasible solution for me, as I had planned to arrive in Reykjavik, Iceland, on September 28 for a 10-day trip. Due to the rescheduling, I had no choice but to cancel my Finnair flights and book new tickets with Swiss Air at a last-minute cost of USD 3,000. Additionally, my non-refundable hotel bookings and pre-arranged activities in Iceland have caused me significant financial loss, amounting to approximately USD 3,000. According to EU regulation 261/2004, I am entitled to compensation due to the short notice of this cancellation. Specifically, I am requesting: Reimbursement of the additional USD 3,000 spent on Swiss Air flights. Compensation for the financial loss of USD 3,000 related to non-refundable hotel bookings and planned activities in Iceland. The additional EU261 compensation of EUR 600 for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation and delay in my travel plans. I kindly request that Finnair process this compensation as soon as possible. I have attached copies of the receipts for the Swiss Air flights and the non-refundable hotel bookings for your reference.

Airline offers only the coverage of extra cost incurred and has provided a gift card. But they refuse to compensate the 600 EUR under EU261. Thank you

I have reached out Delta Airlines for my lost luggages (I was exhibiting in exhibition, but my exhibition luggage got lost and never arrived and we lost the whole exhibition). I have reached out Delta only for my lost luggage. Finnair flight got delayed due to possible door issue for 30 mins, and another 15 minutes waiting in LHR airport to dock the plane. I was not allowed to British airlines flight to Atlanta, and Finnair or British airlines issues new tickets to JFK airport My original flight from Helsinki to London was operated by Finnair (AY 1335), sold as BA6079 My second flight from London to Atlanta was operated by British Airways (BA 0227) Third flight was from London to New York Kennedy (VS25) operated by Virgin Atlantic Fourth flight was from New York Kennedy to Atlanta (VS3042/DL2286) operated by Delta Airlines

Problems at airport

Sep 24, 2024
The Finnair flight HEL - DOH departed late. According to Flight Radar they departed 14 minutes late. My connection was only 55 minutes, and I arrived to the gate in Doha for the flight to Dubai just as they and I quote "just closed the gate". As you can see from the conversation with Finnair, they first said the flight arrived late because they have had to change the flight path to avoid Iranian airspace, and when I pointed out that the flight departed late they said the flight departed only 2 minutes late, which is not true. Furthermore, I have evidence of the same flight departing on time couple of days later, and arriving on time, so it has nothing to do with the Iranian airspace. And in any case, the Iranian airspace has been avoided for a while, so they shouldn't move passengers knowingly they will miss their connection. Again, the key point is that the HEL-DOH flight was delayed.
