What is Finnair Plus?

Finnair Plus is the loyalty programme of Finnair, Finland's national carrier and the only Nordic airline with full Oneworld membership. In December 2023, Finnair Plus became the newest member of the Avios family — joining British Airways, Iberia, Qatar Airways, Aer Lingus, and Vueling — enabling Avios to be earned and spent across all Finnair flights.

The programme uses a spend-based earning model on Finnair-marketed flights, awarding between 6 and 10 Avios per euro depending on tier. Status is tracked through Tier Points (separate from Avios), qualifying members for Basic, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and the exclusive Lumo tier.

Earning Avios on Finnair — Rate Table

Tier Avios per €1 Oneworld Equivalent
Basic 6 Avios —
Silver 7 Avios Ruby
Gold 8 Avios Sapphire
Platinum 9 Avios Emerald
Lumo 10 Avios Emerald

The rates above are the published starting point. What a specific ticket earns also depends on the fare you book and on which airline marketed it, so it is worth checking the route rather than reading off the table — work out what a Finnair route earns before you book.

The Helsinki Hub Advantage

Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL) sits in a uniquely powerful geographic position: it is the closest European hub to Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong via the polar corridor. Finnair operates Airbus A350 long-haul flights to Tokyo Narita, Osaka, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Delhi, and Bangkok — all with a flat-bed Business Class cabin (AirLounge) that rivals any competitor on these routes.

Flights from London Heathrow to Helsinki take under 3 hours, making LHR-HEL-TYO a genuine alternative to direct routing — with efficient connections and consistent A350 equipment on nearly every Finnair long-haul route.

Finnair Plus Tiers — From Basic to Lumo

  • Basic — Entry level. 6 Avios per euro on Finnair flights.
  • Silver (15,000 Tier Points) — Lounge access on Finnair, priority boarding. Oneworld Ruby.
  • Gold (45,000 Tier Points) — Business Class lounge access worldwide. Oneworld Sapphire.
  • Platinum / Lumo (80,000 / 300,000 Tier Points) — Maximum benefits and Finnair's most exclusive recognition tier.
