In news that’ll have snow-weary Scandinavians frantically Googling “Mexican beach vibes,” Finnair just announced a major travel win. Starting January 23, 2025, Finnair passengers can trade their Helsinki frost for Mexico’s sun-soaked shores, thanks to a shiny new codeshare with American Airlines. Think of it as a matchmaking service for your travel plans—Finnair gets you to Dallas, and American Airlines takes it from there, whisking you off to 12 drool-worthy Mexican destinations.

Where Can You Go?
Oh, just some of the hottest spots Mexico has to offer. We’re talking:
- Cancún: For margaritas, sunshine, and that “I live in a postcard” feeling.
- Mexico City: Because tacos taste better at 2,240 meters above sea level.
- Puerto Vallarta: Where sunsets hit differently (and so do the tequila shots).
- Cozumel: Snorkeling, anyone? Or maybe just lying on a beach looking fabulous.
Add Mérida, Oaxaca, and San José del Cabo to the mix, and you’ve got options for every kind of traveler—whether you’re chasing cultural treasures or just looking to roast yourself under the sun like a happy, SPF-lathered marshmallow.
Why This Partnership is Muy Bueno
Here’s how it works: you’ll book your entire journey under a Finnair flight number, even though American Airlines (and their sidekick, Envoy Air) will handle the flying once you hit Dallas. Translation? You can rack up those sweet, sweet Avios points the whole way—because who doesn’t want to earn loyalty points while flying toward tacos?
And it gets better. This isn’t a one-off fling between Finnair and Dallas; they’re cranking up capacity in summer 2025 with up to 11 flights a week. So, if one trip to Mexico isn’t enough, Finnair has you covered.
What the Big Wigs are Saying
Fredrik Wildtgrube, Finnair’s SVP of Alliances (and apparent fan of warm destinations), says Mexico is the place to be for Northern Europeans during the winter. Meanwhile, Anmol Bhargava from American Airlines is hyped about how easy this makes it for travelers to hop across the Americas.
Why It Matters
This partnership doesn’t just expand Finnair’s network—it turns Dallas-Fort Worth into your personal travel launchpad. Whether you’re eyeing a romantic getaway to Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, a foodie adventure in Guadalajara, or a group trip that inevitably devolves into “just one more drink” on a Cancún beach, you now have 12 excuses to start packing.
