Finnair gives inflight messaging to frequent flyers on Finnair Plus service

Finnair, Finland’s flagship carrier, has upgraded its digital offering for loyal Finnair Plus members, unveiling a complimentary inflight messaging service on all European routes operated by its modern Airbus single-aisle fleet.

This innovative amenity allows travelers to stay seamlessly connected at cruising altitude, supporting real-time text communication through popular platforms such as WhatsApp, Viber, KakaoTalk, WeChat, and iMessage.

Finnair Plus members can now enjoy this free messaging service throughout their entire journey, enhancing productivity and keeping them in touch with colleagues, friends, and family.

Anssi Partanen, Finnair’s Market Director for the UK and Ireland, notes that the demand for reliable inflight connectivity continues to soar, and this new benefit is designed to exceed the expectations of frequent travelers.

As of early 2025, Finnair Plus Gold and Platinum members have seen their previous 30-minute complimentary browsing benefit replaced with an upgraded streaming package, reflecting Finnair’s commitment to digital excellence.

Platinum Lumo tier members retain exclusive access to unlimited streaming throughout each short-haul flight.

This advanced messaging feature complements Finnair’s suite of Wi-Fi options available on European services, including enhanced Browse and Stream packages. These premium tiers, available for a modest fee, cater to those wishing to send photos, stream video, or access high-bandwidth content inflight.
