If your departure/destination is not there, just contact them. And one more thing, I am not a worker for the company, neither is any of my friend, relatives or anyone that I know. I just wrote this, because for me they have been more than I ever dared to expect. And one more time, I know what it is to try to deal things with non-flexible and rude agnecies....
By the way, in Helsinki is located right neat the Railway Station. Between Eatz and Amarillo (restaurants). Leave a Comment Theme: AirplaneOther Contact: STA Travel Oy, Mikonkatu 11, 001

 A walk to the plane :) by sabsi
The airport and the planes are very nice and you can get quite a few good deals from V-Bird's website from time to time.
Staff is very friendly and for a no frill airline the prices for food and drink on the plane are reasonable as well. Leave a Comment

The easiest way to get to Finland from far away places like Middle-East is to fly.
The planes land at Helsinki-Vantaa airport, which is about 30km north from the city center.
You can reach the city center by bus or by taxi in half an hour. The airport is not very big. The duty-free is expensive. The airport is a bit boring and one can easily fall asleep if there is time for it. There is WLan (HiFi) but they charge for it! Leave a Comment

 Helsinki-Vantaa airport by vec
If you are taking a domestic flight you are using Terminal 1 and international flights leaves from Terminal 2. Terminal 2 is actually also called terminal 3 and 4 depending on which check in area you enter. But don't worry about going to the wrong place, the airport isn't that big so you will not need many minutes walk to get to the right place. Leave a Comment

If you fly abroad to Helsinki, you'll gonna see the one of worlds best airport. In year 1998 Helsinki - Vantaa Airport voted the world’s best for the first time and it was a great price and an honour for a small country. But Helsinki - Vantaa is very nice and high standard, altough it feel quite small,if you compared to Heathrow or Frankfurt.
But you found nice cafeterias and shops from there and what is important, the personal are very helpful and kind. And they speak many langauges too. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 International terminal by Pomska
The international and domestic terminals are separate but connected by a walkway.
The cheapest way to travel from the city to the airport or vice versa is to use public bus number 615. It takes around 40 minutes and costs 3,40 €.
The second cheapest alternative is to use Finnair's own bus which will stop in major hotel and costs 5,20 €. I use Finnair's bus almost always when I have to go to the airport.
Taxis to the city centre will cost 25 € and up. There are also shared airport taxis (minivan) which will cost less (18 €). Leave a Comment

 Fly me ! Have fun with a
Finn ! by sourbugger
Some years ago there were cheap flights from the UK on 'Buzz' a low-cost offshoot of KLM. When Ryanair gobbled them up the route was dropped.
Although German wings fly from Cologne, the low-cost boys seem to have steered clear of Helsinki.
One solution is to fly to Tallin in Estonia and take the ferry across. This makes for an interesting two-centre approach. Leave a Comment

On my two trips to Helsinki, I arrived by plane (Lufthansa, GermanWings). The airport is located in the suburb Vantaa, which is located about 20 km north of the city centre.
You can get to the city centre by Finnair airport buses, local buses (No. 615 and 617) or taxis of different companies. If you are lucky and have a VT friend in Helsinki, they might even collect you. Leave a Comment

I flew from Zurich (Switzerland) to Helsinki with the budget airline Blue1. It was a 2,5 hours flight and on board you can buy drinks and snacks. It was much cheaper than e.g. Finnair. It was a code-share flight with Swiss and I booked on the Swiss website as it turned out a little cheaper than the Blue1 website.
If you are from a non-EU country then don't forget to claim your tax back from your shopping. If you buy for more than 40 Euro in anyone place that offers tax free shopping, you're on. If you have your shopping in your check-in lugguage then you need to get a stamp from the check-in counter. If you carry it in your hand lugguage you can go directly to one of the two tax free refund counters. Leave a Comment
