    II had a good laugh when I looked at the summer menu:  'ALL DAY DINING available from midday"? But I AM looking forward to be there in mid-January!

  • Transit Time at Helsinki - 55min??

    Jan 07, 2020, 12:27 PM

    Minimum connecting time in Helsinki is 35 minutes - I have done it on multiple occasions in less than that (as the incoming flight was delayed) and usually Finnair waits some time for late passengers to arrive. It's an easy airport for transfers (as mspcooper has pointed out) and there is no fur...

In November lots of aircraft arrived concurrently and the security lines were a complete circus as the priority lines were not properly enforced (in other words: all ...
