Carry on baggage Policy in Finnair

To make the flight as smooth as possible and comfortable for you and all onboard passengers, it pays off to pack the carry-on baggage light and tight and bring only the most necessary things with you on board. Furthermore, during the winter season when most of the passengers are traveling with winter coats and with more luggage in the common cause, the limited space for carry-on luggage on board the aircraft tends to fill up entirely.

You have to note that the airline’s ground crew was forced to remove excess baggage to the cargo hold before departure and that will cause the delay in the flight. Especially, when the aircraft is fully occupied, removing carry-on luggage is a very common situation. The number of carry-on luggage items allowed completely depends upon the travel class you had chosen and the ticket booked by your passengers.
