Finnair to charge for carry-on baggage
NEWS FLASH
Finland’s national carrier, Finnair, which maintains seasonal flights from Helsinki to Ljubljana, Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik, will rein in the amount of carry-on baggage on its flights by trimming the allowances for its most affordable ticket types. The airline will replace its economy light ticket with a new one called superlight on all journeys within Europe. Passengers with superlight tickets will only be allowed to carry a single bag, which must be stowable under the seat in front of them. Passengers who want to carry both a regular carry-on bag and an under-seat bag will have to purchase a light ticket. The carrier will also reduce baggage allowances for business class customers and adopt additional fees for all special baggage, such as golf bags and ski equipment. Furthermore, economy class passengers will no longer be able to select their seat for free at check-in and will instead be allocated one by airport staff. The adjustments to ticket types and baggage restrictions will enter into effect on June 1. The Finnish airline has also outlined that it is eliminating a second meal service for economy class passengers on a number of long haul flights including those to New York and Dubai.
