To make future travels smoother, Finnair is trialling a IATA Travel Pass, an easy-to-use mobile app under development to enable you to manage and store your coronavirus related certificates. 

Customers travelling on route HEL-LHR-HEL between 14 July to 11 August are invited to join the trial and asked to give feedback after journey to develop the app further.

  • You find accurate information on travel, testing and vaccine requirements for journeys. 
  • You manage the required coronavirus related travel documents simply and securely. 
  • You start your journey with peace of mind because IATA travel pass checks the provided certificates against the journey requirements and displays OK to travel screen for you if you meet the health requirements.

  • You receive a 30% discount of Terveystalo’s testing services in Kamppi, Helsinki, for travel from Helsinki to London during the trial.
