Finnair offers multiple ways to check in: online, mobile, and airport check-in. Online check-in begins 36 hours before departure for most flights and 24 hours before flights to or from the United States. You can go to the Finnair website or use the mobile app to check in. Just enter your last name and booking number to get started. Once checked in, you can pick your seat and download or email your boarding pass.
If you have checked luggage, you’ll still need to drop your bags at the airport. Bag drop counters usually open 2 to 3 hours before departure and close 1 hour before international flights and 45 minutes before European or domestic flights.
For airport check-in, the counters also open 2 to 3 hours before the flight, depending on your route. It's best to arrive early, especially during busy travel times. Finnair also has self-service kiosks at many airports where you can check in, print your boarding pass, and print luggage tags.
