Oneworld member Finnair sells discounted business class tickets for their winter service to Dubai. Flights from Oslo are available at NOK 13,742 (~€1,148) between October 2024 and March 2025. Flight from other Northern European cities like Stockholm or Gothenburg are slightly more expensive. All itineraries require a change of planes in Helsinki both ways.
The quoted price is Finnair’s business class light fare. It does not include checked bags, priority services, or lounge access. You’d have to select the business class classic fare for this, adding roughly €160 to the price.
You can buy premium tickets for less than €1,400 with departure from:
- Oslo at NOK 13,742 (~€1,148)
- Gothenburg at SEK 14,690 (~€1,250)
- Stockholm at SEK 14,707 (~€1,252)
- Copenhagen at DKK 9,828 (~€1,316)
- Vilnius at €1,325
- Riga at €1,325
The nonstop flights from Helsinki are also cheaper than usual, but still cost north of €1,500 w/o any of the good stuff.
The long-haul flights between Helsinki and Dubai are Airbus A350-900 services. These planes feature a 1-2-1 seating pattern in business class. While Finnair’s current business class hard-product is innovative (seats can only be adjusted to two positions: sit straight or lie-flat), it’s not to everybody’s liking.
