Economy Light ticket becomes available for flights from Europe to Japan

We are expanding the very popular Economy Light ticket to more markets as of 4 February. In addition to flights within Europe and our Atlantic routes, customers can now travel with an Economy Light ticket from selected European origins to Japan as well.

At this point, Economy Light will not become available when travelling from Finland, Iceland or Russia to Japan.

The Economy Light ticked doesn't include checked baggage, but customers will enjoy the same onboard service within the Economy travel class as with other ticket types. Customers who select the Economy Light fare will be able to enjoy the roomy seats which are equipped with a foldable table and a personal in-flight entertainment system, and a Marimekko for Finnair collection of pillow and blanket reserved for on the seat. Also, we serve the same complimentary meal in the Economy Class on intercontinental flights no matter which ticket type the customer holds. With the Economy Light ticket customers can bring one piece of carry-on baggage and a small personal item onboard.

Finnair Plus tier members' baggage benefit applies also to Light fare tickets, and they are allowed to have additional baggage free of charge. Finnair Plus point accrual is based on normal rules outlined on Finnair.com.

Customers can always further tailor their travel experience with our wide selection of travel extras.

The fares now to be launched are in conjunction with our Siberian joint business (SJB) partner airlines, British Airways and Iberia. This ticket type will not be available on Japan Airlines' intercontinental flights at the initial stage.

The Economy Light fares are branded as fare family ECOLIGHT and are available in GDS along with other Finnair published fares.
