Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well. Long story short, I booked a Finnair Avios award ticket on October 22, 2024, for travel in Summer 2025, but I needed to cancel the trip. I’ve cancelled British Airways Avios award tickets in the past and the process to get the refunded Avios was almost instant. Unfortunately, that is not the case with Finnair. Finnair’s website quoted 1-3 weeks, but in my case, it took 6-7 weeks for the Finnair Avios to be refunded and for me to receive a refund of the taxes / fees (minus the 50 Euro cancellation fee). In this post, I will document the cancellation process and timeline.
