Finnair Europe

Finnair offers exceptionally flexible multi-city airfares between Australia and Europe, with extensive stopover options throughout Asia and Finland. From October 2026, Finnair will also commence Melbourne-Bangkok-Helsinki services, providing another option between Australia and Europe.

Fares are available in Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class, including excellent-value mixed Business and Economy Class fares that reduce the overall cost while retaining Business Class on selected long-haul sectors.

Finnair’s extensive network of oneworld and other airline partners allows travellers to build creative itineraries with multiple stopovers across Asia and Helsinki en route to mainland Europe. Partners include Qantas, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, Korean Air, Jetstar and Air New Zealand.

With extensive routing possibilities and flexible stopovers, Finnair is an excellent choice for travellers wanting to combine Asia, Finland and Europe within one airfare.

• Qantas – Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong & Tokyo
• Qatar – Doha
• Cathay Pacific – Hong Kong
• Jetstar – Phuket
• British Airways – Singapore
• Malaysia Airlines – Kuala Lumpur & Delhi
• Japan Airlines – Tokyo
• Thai Airlines – Bangkok
• Korean Airlines – Seoul
• Singapore Airlines – Singapore

One of the biggest advantages of Finnair’s multi-city fares is the huge choice of stopover destinations available on the journey to and from Europe. Depending on the routing and partner airline used, you can add one or more stops along the way:

• Asia – Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Delhi, Seoul, Phuket, Mumbai & Bangkok, giving you an excellent choice of cities and holiday destinations to break up the journey.
• Middle East – Doha can also be included on selected routings, although this will generally price at a higher fare level.
• Finland – Helsinki is the natural European stopover and a great addition before continuing onwards to mainland Europe.

The flexibility allows you to combine Asia, Finland and mainland Europe in the one itinerary, rather than simply flying directly to and from your main European destination.

Finnair’s A350-900 aircraft are equipped with the airline’s newest and highly regarded Business Class product. Featuring Finnair’s innovative AirLounge seat, the cabin offers an impressive amount of personal space and privacy. With no overhead bins in the centre of the Business Class cabin, the overall ambience feels particularly open, airy and spacious.

Finnair’s long-haul A350 and A330 aircraft feature a 1-2-1 Business Class configuration, giving every passenger direct aisle access and providing excellent options for both couples travelling together and solo travellers.

Unlike many airlines that price mainland European destinations similarly, Finnair uses tiered pricing based on your destination, routing and the airlines used to connect with Australia. This can create some excellent-value opportunities, particularly when we have flexibility with your European gateway and Australian connections. Stopovers can also be built into many itineraries, including Singapore, Bangkok, Phuket and Kuala Lumpur, giving us plenty of scope to create a more interesting journey rather than a simple return airfare.

A point of difference with Finnair is the ability to combine cabins within the same itinerary, opening up some excellent-value mixed-class options. On selected routes, you can fly Economy Class to Asia, continue in Premium Economy to Europe, then, when you have had enough of airports and check-in queues, fly home from Europe to Australia in Business Class, relaxing in a fully flat bed with a glass of champagne.

Finnair’s Premium Economy is another great option from Australia to selected Nordic and European destinations. With additional recline, increased personal space, full-leg support, memory foam cushions and elevated dining, it offers a significant step up from Economy without the cost of flying Business Class for the entire journey. Mixed-cabin combinations can also give us plenty of flexibility to balance comfort and overall budget.
