 | Rovaniemi Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
Me and some friend went to Rovaniemi for Christmas and we booked the flight really early.
With sourprise we did the first trip from Zurich to Oslo with Lufthansa and from Oslo to Rovaniemi with BlueOne.
We had a great flight with BlueOne, the plane was really clean and the organization was simply perfect, no problems at all.
Even outside there was a terrible weather, the plane landed and in Rovaniemi sweetly, then i realized that everything was covered with ice but anyway the plane landed simply perfect.
Even the crew is really kind, always ready to answer your questions and needs.

Now that I live over 800km:s away from Rovaniemi, the easiest and fastest way is to fly there. The cheapest airlineticket You can find is from Blue 1. You have to make your reservation as soon as possible, the more reservations the airline gets the more they'll charge you. And the trip doesn't take more than 1 hour 15 minutes. Leave a Comment

A short Taxi ride from the centre of town is the Airport. Being small it isn't neccesary to arrive hours before your flight like other airports. Try an hour, should give you plenty of time. There are a few shops and a canteen open before some flights.
Rovaniemi Airport is the Gateway for Finnish air traffic to Finnish Lapland, north west Russia, (Murmansk and Archangel), northern Sweden (Luleå), and northern Norway (Lakselv). The airport stands literally on the arctic circle, with the line of latitude running right through the airport grounds. Traffic to Rovaniemi is operated by Finnair, Blue1 and Aeroflot. 432,000 passengers used the airport in 2006.
This arctic location and our excellent relations with our neighbours at Santa’s village suits Santa Claus as well - after all, he has appointed Rovaniemi as his official airport! The airport bears the Official Airport of Santa Claus trademark within the EU and several other countries. Santa’s home is right next to the airport at Santa Claus Village. You can reach it from the airport either on foot or by taking a reindeer, dog team, sleigh or motor vehicle.

Blue1 is a budget airline flying out of Scandanavia and in my case I flew with them from Rovamiemi to Helsinki. Good enough for these short flights where cost savings is the contributing factor to choice.
They had problems with my original booking but after calling them from Australia it was enventually sorted.

One of the easiest ways to fly to Lapland is to Rovaniemi Airport. There are several regular connections from and to Rovaniemi from Helsinki as well as charter flights operating to the airport form other parts of Europe.
It is quiet a small airport and it took us 10 minutes from the bus through check in onto the plane! Leave a Comment

It's easy and compared to normal Finnish prices it's quite cheap, too. For students it's something like 35 euros to get more than 800 km north from Helsinki! For adults it's twice the price.
The trains are very comfortable and if you get a cabin (that's a bit more expencive, then) I can guarantee that you sleep well. I myself usually sleep in the normal sitting cars, because they're okey too.
There are usually restaurants cars in the train and all the announcements are also in English. Sometimes there are also fancier Pendolino and InterCity trains travelling during the night. They're even nicer to travel!
The web-page is exellent, you can find all the timetables and calculate the best trip for you and also see the exact price for that particular trip. Leave a Comment

 Rovaniemi Train Station at 0c by bpacker
Now if you're accustomed to train travel, you would know that a triple berth is bloody high. It took some getting used to but this little mistake turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We were later joined by a pretty Finnish blonde who regaled us with stories of the Finnish Ruska ( Autumn Colours) . This made us even more excited to go to Rovaneimi and after the conversation, Liz and the Blonde slept like good little gals on the lower bunks while I fretted at the top.
When our train finally arrived at Rovaniemi Station at 7:55 a.m, some 12 hours and 35 minutes after we left Helsinki, I was stone asleep. As luck would have it, I failed to wake up when the train conductor moved around the compartments to rouse the passengers. I only woke up in horror when the conductor came to the berth again and said that we were the last passengers on board. We were very lucky to have been discovered by the conducter, if not we would have landed in Helsinki some 12 hours again.
Cost of the Sleeping Berth ( 21 Euros ) . Our Train fare was covered by the Scanrail Tix.
