Cheap flights to Finland

Peak Season: Understandably, in a country where the winter is so dark, the most popular time for tourists to seek Finland flights and visit is during the summer months (May-September). There are exceptions, the month of December in the run-up to Christmas is popular with those coming to see Father Christmas in his natural habitat. The Northern Lights are most likely to be seen in September-October and March-April. Off Season: You’ll find travel deals in the winter months, though some major cities, such as Helsinki are year-round destinations.

For flights to Finland from Hong Kong (HKG), your main port of entry will be Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport (HEL). To reach any other cities, you will need to fly through Helsinki. The flight time from Hong Kong to Helsinki can range from 9h 50min to 18h 50min, depending on stopovers. Helsinki is the capital of Finland and lies on the south coast. You can also fly to the former Finnish capital Turku (TKU) via Helsinki in 17h 20min to 21h 25min.

You can find Finland flight deals direct from Hong Kong (HKG) to Helsinki (HEL) with Finnair. There are also cheap flights to Finland with Turkish Airlines that stopover in Istanbul (IST). Other options are with British Airways via London Heathrow (LHR), with KLM via Amsterdam (AMS), Lufthansa via Frankfurt (FRA) and Air France via Paris Charles De Gaulle (CDG). You can also fly to Turku via Helsinki from Hong Kong.

Finland is a well-organised and connected country. You can travel by air, road or rail. Driving in Finland is a pleasure because the roads are good and the traffic is minimal. All cities have a regular bus service and Helsinki has the metro and tram as well. Every major city in Finland is connected by train, as well as many smaller towns. Valtion Rautatiet operates the train system in Finland. There are various types of trains, such as the high-speed Pendolino and the Intercity (IC), which has facilities such as family compartments, a play space for children, phone booths and smoking booths. As an example, you can travel from Helsinki to Rovaniemi in 12h on a train called the Santa Claus Express, and from Helsinki to Turku or Tampere by train in about three hours. For longer routes, there are sleeper trains. You can also fly from Helsinki to all major and some minor cities of Finland.

In Helsinki, invest in some reindeer hide or wooden cups at Market Square, take a walk through the old wooden neighbourhoods of Käpylä, Vallila and Kumpula, and then have a break to sit in peace in the wooden, circular Kamppi Chapel of Silence. For a day trip, take a ferry over to the fortress islands of Suomenlinna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or visit the medieval town of Porvo and pick up souvenirs at the old warehouse by the railway station. Go berry-picking an hour outside of Helsinki at Nuuksio National Park, where ‘Everyman’s right’ allows you to wander anywhere and pick anything. Take a boat ride through the Turku Archipelago or go hiking in Koli National Park and admire the surrounding lakes and forest. In the Lakeland area, join the locals in a sauna followed by a swim in an ice lake. Finland has more than 3 million saunas and 188,000 lakes. In Lapland, meet the real Santa at his office in Rovaniemi, visit the Elf School and cross the Arctic Circle via an underground tunnel. Experience a husky or reindeer-powered sled ride and, most importantly, stay in a glass igloo and view the northern lights.
