What happens if you miss your booked Finnair flight?
In missing a flight with Finnair, you do not board the plane you had planned to board or take off before it takes off due to traffic congestion, security check-ups, someone coming late to the airport or some other issues. Failure to board and check in within the time frame, the Finnair will regard the situation to be a no-show. If you’ve Missed a Finnair Flight, call 1800 102 1233 or +1-855-546-5011 to get help with rebooking, refunds, or next available flight options.
Immediate Punishment: No-Show.
Finnair would typically consider the no-show of a passenger, who has missed the flight and failed to contact the airline. Failure to inform the airline in advance of arrival will mean that this designation can lead to cancellation of your entire itinerary, including that such as return or subsequent flights on the same ticket.
Status of Ticket: When a flight has been missed,
Complete tickets can be canceled.
Finnair can cancel the other part of your trip in case you fail to arrive there and not inform them beforehand. This would mean that in addition to the missed flight, return legs and connecting flights that had been booked with the same reservation can also be canceled.
Refunds and Fare Value
You can lose all the worth of your ticket depending on the kind of fare.
• When you miss the flight, you are not likely to get any refund on the non-refundable tickets (including Basic Economy).
• In case your ticket is flexible or refundable you might receive eCredits or partial refund based on the tariff regulations.
Options If You Miss Your Flight
Contact Airport Personnel immediately.
It is important to contact employees of Finnair at the airport (at the ticket counter or at the gate) as soon as you realize that you might (or have already missed) your flight. They can assist you in making a decision what to do and perhaps you will avoid losing the entire reservation.
Standby and Rebooking
Finnair, unlike a number of airlines, does not instantly re-book you to another flight at no extra charge. But when you make a quick response and there are seats, airline officials might be in a position to place you in standby or help you to remake your ticket on the next flight. This is more likely to happen when one calls the person immediately after the flight has disappeared.
Rebooking Expenses
• If the new flight is more expensive than your initial fare, there may be fare differences.
• Depending on the terms of your ticket and the nation in which you purchased it, service costs for modifications may also be applicable.
Exceptions and Special Situations
Connections Missed on the Same Ticket
Finnair will usually rebook you on the next available flight to your destination at no additional cost if you miss a connecting connection because of a delay on an earlier Finnair sector and it's all under one ticket. They will notify you via the app or airport personnel.

When the Airline Is at Fault
Under EU passenger rights regulations, (EC 261/2004) you may have a right to rebooking, meals, lodging, and compensation, depending on the circumstances of the delay and length of delay, and applies to flights in the EU or involving EU airline companies.
Preventing Loss of Tickets
Make a call or give notice before leaving.
The Finnair company requires you to inform them in advance of your intended departure in case you expect to be late and therefore you do not want to be shown as a no-show. Your ticket may be held by agents, or they may suggest other possibilities.
Make Use of Online Resources
In order to see offered rebooking options and immediately warn the airline, it is better to use the Fly Finnair application or Manage Booking on the Finnair site.
