Important: What you may find as you are searching for these flights are different flight numbers than the ones listed. There are two important things to keep in mind: First, when the flight leaves and Second, what company is operating the flight. For example, you may fly Finnair flight # 5786 (see below); however, the flight leaves at 6:10pm on Thursday 3/3 and it’s operated by American Airlines. So this flight is OK.
