(one suspects this will also impact flights into Finland that don't connect onto ay)
Finnair will no longer check luggage through to final destinations if passengers' connecting flights are handled by a competitor, reports the daily Helsingin Sanomat.
The decision will affect hundreds of thousands of travellers in Finland each year.
Passengers will have to re-check their luggage in connecting cities, if their connecting flight is not Finnair or one of its partners. For instance, travellers flying with Finnair from Joensuu to Helsinki will have to re-check their bags in Helsinki, if they have a connecting flight with a Finnair competitor. They will also need to go through security checks again.
