Finnair is giving winter travellers more ways to escape the cold, with a major expansion of its flight schedule to the Middle East and Asia. Starting this November, Finland’s flagship airline will increase its flights to popular warm-weather hotspots like Phuket and Dubai, responding to growing demand from European sun-seekers.

From November 2, Finnair will operate daily flights from Helsinki to Phuket, up from the previous four per week. Likewise, its Helsinki-Dubai route will also increase to daily services, a big jump from the current three times a week. The move highlights the rising appeal of these sunny getaways, with Finnair catering to both leisure and business travellers, said an airline spokesperson.

“These destinations are growing in popularity, and we’re excited to offer more flexibility for winter holidaymakers.”

The expanded schedule strengthens Finnair’s already impressive network across Asia and the Middle East. With daily flights to cities like Bangkok, Tokyo, and Doha, the airline ensures smooth connections for travellers seeking both exotic vacations and vital business hubs.
