Customers have until Tuesday, September 12 to book the discounted flights, on a selected range of travel dates this year and next. Flights are also available from Heathrow and Edinburgh.

Andrew Fish, Finnair general manager UK, Ireland and Benelux said: “These special Finnair fares offer our passengers even better value when travelling between the UK and Japan”, said “Finnair is proud to fly to more Japanese cities than any other European carrier, allowing travellers easy access to key business and leisure destinations from our three UK gateways at Heathrow, Manchester and Edinburgh.”.

Finnair customers travelling on select services to Tokyo and Osaka can enjoy a unique Nordic experience onboard the Finnair Airbus A350.

The aircraft features large panoramic view windows and comfortable seating in all classes along with Wi-Fi access and touch screen inflight entertainment systems.
