Finnair Adds US, Asian Routes to Summer 2025

DALLAS — Finnair (AY) will introduce more flight frequencies to Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, and Los Angeles in the US, Nagoya and Osaka in Japan, and Shanghai in China for its March–October summer season 2025.

First, the Finnish flag carrier will fly daily to Chicago next summer and five times a week to Dallas, five frequencies more than the summer 2024 service to Dallas allows. Furthermore, Seattle and Los Angeles will gain two more weekly frequencies.

Next summer, AY will also fly daily to Osaka, home of the World Expo 2025, and to Nagoya four times a week, the latter getting an extra weekly flight. Finally, AY will schedule one weekly route to Shanghai in China, flying there four times a week in the summer season of 2025.

Finnair’s Chief Revenue Officer Christine Rovelli says, “Increasing our capacity to the United States brings our customers excellent connectivity to North America and beyond.” 

“Customers can connect via Dallas and Chicago to our partner American Airlines’ extensive network in North and South America, while Seattle and Los Angeles offer a gateway to for example other parts of the West Coast and Hawaii, through our partners American Airlines and Alaska Airlines.”

Finnair's AirLounge Seat Experience

Bound for Dallas, with an extra stop on the way? Join us on board AY's flagship A350-900XWB. Due to fuel shortages in Finland, our aircraft stopped in Sweden for a quick refueling stop.

Finnair launched its AirLounge seat design a few years ago, which soon divided its customers’ opinions. The seat does not provide the traditional electronic reclining, which you can find in 99% of long-haul cabins (including economy class). Is this design successful on a long-haul flight?
