Finnair children traveling alone: reserve the service before departure

The published service applies to qualifying Finnair-marketed flights operated by Finnair or Nordic Regional Airlines, with conditions for Helsinki connections. Give the agent the child's date of birth and the complete route, including the return journey. Check that the connection is supported and ask for the assistance service to appear in the confirmed reservation. Review the ticket price and the additional service charge for every flight leg rather than expecting one payment to cover any itinerary. Prepare the current handover documents and matching identification details for the adults at departure and arrival. Include an alternative contact who can respond during the journey. Before traveling, ask what changes if a delay moves the child onto another flight or beyond the supported connection arrangements; do not assume a replacement itinerary remains eligible.
