At the Airport

NOTE! Finncomm Airlines flights' check-in desks has moved to desks 256 and 257 (the new 240 area).

When you arrive at the airport, check your flight details on the information displays; departure time, check-in desk number and gate number. Go to check-in first. At helsinki-Vantaa airport Finncomm Airlines' check-in desks are located in Terminal 2, desks 256–257.

Check-in must be done at latest:

• 15 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of a domestic flight when travelling with hand baggage only. You can also check-in at the departure gate when you only have hand baggage.
• 25 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of a domestic flight when you have baggage to check.
• 35 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of a european flight.
• 45 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of a domestic flight when you have large baggage (skis, snowboard...).
• 60 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of a flight if you have special services requested or you have very large or otherwise special baggage.

Take note that the gate always closes 15 minutes prior to the departure of the flight!

After check-in you can use the services available on the public side of the airport or go through the security check into the departures hall.

Reserve enough time to go through the security check. The lines may be quite long, especially during rush hours. The security checks are the responsibility of the aviation authority and the airport.

Check-in can also be done beforehand in the Internet. Go to http://www.finnair.com/, select check-in and follow the instructions.

Baggage screening

On most airports, coats and jackets are placed on the baggage screening belt. Pockets are emptied into hand baggage or coat pockets. Belts and other clothing items with metal are often removed as well. Laptop computers and liquids packed in a see-through bag are taken out of the hand baggage and screened separately. Mobile phones may be put in hand baggage or coat pockets. Reclaim your items at the end of the screening belt after going through the person screening. If deemed necessary, baggage may be opened and inspected by hand.

Watch a video about security screening.

Person screening

After placing your baggage for screening, walk through the metal detector. If necessary, the safety inspector will also perform a scan using a handheld detector or by hand.

At the departures hall

After the security check you may use the services in the departure hall. Check your flight's departure gate and boarding time one more time. Get to the gate in time for boarding.

At the gate

As boarding begins, passenger identification is checked and the passengers are allowed on the plane. For Finncomm Airlines flights, this usually means a short bus ride from the gate to the plane.
