Direct Saver Awards to Europe in Business Mid-2025

Looking for availability to Europe next year? Secure your flights now as we found saver award availability in business flying Finnair from ORD, JFK, and DFW direct to HEL for 62,500 per person between March and September 2025. If Helsinki is not your final destination, you may be able to replace HEL with another European location for a similar price (or self-connect as you please).

Finnair is only technically a transfer partner of Capital One. However, if you have transferable currencies like AMEX, Chase, Bilt, or Wells Fargo you can transfer your points to British Airways and then use the combine Avios tool to move them to Finnair. If you want to use Citi points you will need to transfer to Qatar first, link your Qatar account to your British Airways account, and then link your British Airways account to Finnair.

If you will be using Chase points, this deal just became even sweeter. There is a 30% transfer bonus from Chase to British Airways through Oct 31, 2024 bringing the price down to 48,100 per person each way.

All of the dates below have confirmed availability for at least 2 passengers in business. Expect taxes to be ~$140 per person one way. If you cannot find 2 seats available, try changing your region on the top right corner of Finnair’s website to Finland.
