My flight to Helsinki was the most adventurous in my life. It was my first flight on my own and I was about to stay 3 winter months in Finland for a traineeship. Until, I only knew the airport in Frankfurt / Germany which is not really famous for his clarity. You can imagine, I was nervous...
There was no reason for my fear. The airport (lento-asema in finish by the way) is very small (some years ago it did win the price as the most clear airport in Europe) and very clear structured. In July 2003 the main terminal was finished and is about 1.000 m² big.
The airport Helsinki-Vantaa is about 1/2 Stunde from the City of Helsinki (about 19 km) and about 25 km from Tapiola in Espoo. For 4,90 € the bus takes you from the airport to the centre of Helsinki. And Helsinki is worth at least a weekend trip! Direct bus connections are available also in other town for really acceptable prices.
The flights inside Finland are based in terminal 1, international flights in terminal 2.
If you get off the plane it’s only a few meters (no long walking distances as in the bigger airports) to the baggage claim - I was flying there two times and the bags always arrived unbelievable fast – and a few meters further is the exit. When my sister came to see me I noticed that also the picking up of visitors is easy. You just can’t miss each other!
Concerning the Check-in – I can’t complain. Structured. Fast. Friendly. Helpful. Done.
After the security controls you get on to the numberous shops and restaurants, that shorten your waiting time. And if the prohibition of smoking in the main areas is still valid – thanks!
I enjoyed my stay in Finland and I’m sure the great service at the airport did the own part for this.
Enjoy the flight.
