Finnair is introducing a new Superlight ticket for short haul journeys within Europe.
As of 1 June, the Superlight ticket type will replace Economy Light tickets on Finnair journeys within Europe.
It includes a small bag, which goes under the seat, but with no other carry-baggage included.
Any purchases made at the airport are counted in the allowance, so they must also fit into the underseat bag.
Finnair Plus tier members travelling on a Superlight ticket will have one carry-on bag in addition.
“Punctuality is very important for our customers, and the target of the changes we are now making is to ensure smooth boarding,” says Ole Orvér, Chief Commercial Officer.
“Excess carry-on baggage is a known issue, impacting both punctuality as well as travel comfort.”
Finnair will crack down on excess carry-on bags in the cabin.
Light tickets, which include a regular carry-on bag, will continue to be available for long-haul journeys and for Business Class on European flights.
The Classic ticket type is still available for customers with both checked and carry-on baggage.
As of June 1, Finnair will also decrease the baggage allowance for Business Class.
All special baggage allowances, such as golf bags and ski equipment, will be excluded from the new ticket classifications and only be available for an additional charge.
