Finnair is one of the best and fastest options for travelling from Europe to Asia, where it has one of the largest number of destinations among European carriers.

The airline has a well-configured schedule so that routes in Europe connect to long-haul routes to Asia in Helsinki with short but convenient times.

Finnair, through its membership of the oneWorld alliance, offers an extensive network of connecting routes to partner airlines.

For example, cooperation with British Airways, American Airlines, Iberia and Japan Airlines is very frequent.
