This time, I took Finnair from Hong Kong International Airport to Helsinki. I was amazed by the scale of the airport upon arrival! The unique Nordic design showcases the airport's features, with floor-to-ceiling glass allowing sunlight to create beautiful reflections! There are plenty of rest areas in the airport, with chairs along the way! Additionally, the airport is decorated with Christmas trees, enhancing the festive atmosphere of Finland and making visitors feel immersed in the holiday spirit! One of the most design-centric spots is Spacehub, where you can book rooms for rest or work. You can see a small white house inside the airport! Very unique!

Finland in autumn is a crisp and coldish time. It can get a bit wet but it's still nice to walk around in the forest and catch the last few bits of warmish weather before the cold winter sets in. Feel the crunch of fallen leaves under your feet as you breathe in cool fresh air! If the weather is nice then you're in for a treat as the golden leaves are brightly lit up with the pretty sunlight! Head for a walk through Finland's many wooded areas during autumn! #fallingforfall #explore #forest #walks #helsinki #finland

Today, I would like to recommend a spa in the city that is the airport area of ​​Vantaa, Finland, which is "Flamingo Spa" located at Tasetie 8,01510 Vantaa Finland🇫🇮 - Flamingo Spa is a spa with 3 spa pools, 1 of which is a warm pool and the other 2 are massage pools. There are 3 sauna rooms, separated for men and women. Another room is a salt sauna for shared use. This is the Finnish culture of going into the sauna and soaking in the cold water, like melting ice. It is believed that this will improve blood circulation. - In the spa, there is a bar where you can order snacks like French fries, fried sausages, fried chicken, etc. You can also order drinks from the bar in the spa to drink while soaking in the warm pool. It is very relaxing. - The price of the spa service on weekdays, Monday-Friday, is 29 euros per person, approximately 1,044 Thai baht. On Saturday-Sunday, it is 39 euros, approximately 1,404 baht. #EuropeTour

I have a bunch of colleagues who have introduced me to this hobby some four years ago. Wall climbing is both fun and also excellent way to take care of the body and mind. If you’re in the area of Helsinki Airport, you may want to try KiipeilyAreena in Tammisto, Vantaa. It’s located within walking distance from most airport hotels or can easily be accessed using a bus. The address is Tammiston kauppatie 10, it’s in the other end of a huge Plantagen Flower shop. You don’t need any equipment to try and there are suitable walls for every skill level. Admission for one person is 12 euros (2022). If you are a member, you can also use the gym located in the same premises. In addition there is a small climbing equipment store and a cafeteria. #finland #vantaa #climbing #bouldering

The Clarion hotel is a lovely hotel that's only a 5 mins taxi ride, 5 mins train ride or 20 min walk from Helsinki airport. The hotel is hip and modern and the rooms are cozy and many feature great views. It's very quiet around the area so dining options are limited. However the hotel also boasts a nice gym, and a comfortable sauna. Breakfast is also included and it is in a buffet style with many options to choose from. Overall a great choice for being close to the airport or even to get to town as the train is very practical and frequent and the hotel is right above the train station. #hotel #travel #finland #helsinki #explore

If you find yourself connecting through Helsinki airport, you're in a for a treat. The airport is home to Finnair, but countless other carriers also serve it. The Schengen area is more of the traditional styled airports however the non Schengen side is the real gem. Usually airports are dull and you can't wait to get out of them. However, Helsinki airport was a joy to be in, even for 5 hours. First, the airport is spacious, modern and clean. Second, there are countless amenities catered to different tastes. For instance, there are different chairs: from rocking chairs to flat bed like seats. There is also drinking water available throughout the terminal. One of my favorites, however are the giant screens that show different scenes and sounds from Finland's nature. This coupled with outside the normal rush hours offers a very calm and quiet stay at this airport. All in all, a smooth and calming experience; something that airports are not always known for. #airport #helsinki

Helsinki is quite a bike friendly city. There are numerous bike paths that run into and out of the city. In fact I'd you have time and are up for the challenge, you can even bike from Helsinki airport to the city center. Let me warn you: it is quite challenging! Nonetheless, the whole journey is done on bike paths, so it's extremely safe. It's simply quite long; around 20 km and a good 2+ hrs. Along the way, however, you pass through some lovely Finnish landscapes that are so relaxing and calming. You'll see flower fields and rivers, which add some variety to your journey. These are really pretty and relaxing to enjoy especially in summer. You really get a sense of Finland as you also pass through several residential areas and parks. I recommend doing this trek in summer when it's nice outside and the weather is warmer. Remember however to bring a windbreaker in case and plenty of water. You can stop and enjoy the lovely scenes on the way so resting isn't an issue. You'll be able to enjoy nature while getting into the city in an economical, healthy and non polluting way.

The gap in the airport transit is the time to eat, eat and buy. Uncompromising food can also find high-quality Nordic cuisine here, such as this FLY INN at Gate Helsinki Airport No. 27.

Stayed at Scandic Helsinki Aviapolis, a convenient airport hotel near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Overall, it was a good stay, ideal for transit travelers and short visits. The hotel is just a few minutes from the airport, with a free shuttle service running every 20–30 minutes. It is also within walking distance of Aviapolis train station (about 15 minutes), making it easy to reach Helsinki city center. A major plus is the Jumbo Shopping Mall nearby, offering a variety of restaurants, shops, and a grocery store—perfect for those needing last-minute essentials or an alternative dining option. The room was clean, modern, and functional, featuring comfortable bedding, a work desk, and a well-maintained bathroom with a walk-in shower and essential toiletries. The breakfast buffet starts at 6 AM, offering a great selection of fresh bread, cold cuts, hot dishes, and Finnish specialties. For those with super early flights, a light breakfast is available from 4 AM. Due to time constraints - I briefly checked out the gym and sauna in the basement which appeared well-maintained. The staff was friendly and efficient, making check-in and check-out smooth. The overall atmosphere is modern and practical, making it a great choice for travelers catching an early flight or needing a short, comfortable stay near the airport. #helsinki #vantaa

Travel to Finland, fly BC, 82,345 baht per trip, remaining 26,265 baht, great‼️ Regarding buying tickets to exchange miles 1. Check the price of the ticket, compare the tickets to exchange miles by Price of the ticket to exchange miles = (number of miles x price of miles) + taxes and fees In conclusion, if the price of the ticket to exchange miles > ticket to exchange miles -> This is worth buying, helping to save on travel 2. Mostly, tourists like to exchange miles for business class or first class tickets because from point 1, the more you save, the more fun it is 3. To find a ticket to exchange miles, you have to look at various airlines. Mostly look at Redeem Mile or Reward Flight or Spending Mile. If you don't know where to look for each airline, ask me. Go to Google and search. First, check if the route you are traveling on, the travel date, has BC or FC class tickets to exchange, is there enough for the number of travelers? 4. When you find the route, flight, date, time, miles used, value for money from savings, then use miles according to the airline you want. Then fly happily! ‼️ But if in the end, no airline has a mileage exchange ticket, buy a ticket at Trip.com to avoid missing an important opportunity! ‼️ Image caption Image 5) Find the route and date you want to fly. At first, I was going to buy Qatar miles to exchange for Finnair flights back from HEL to BKK. The Hel-BKK biz ticket cost 82,345 baht, flying FinnAir from Trip. Image 6) Qatar miles exchange ticket, total 31,640 baht per trip. Price of the mileage exchange ticket = (number of miles x price of miles) + taxes and fees. Number of miles 77,250, price of miles 0.4 baht/mile, fee 20€ calculated at 37 baht/€. =(77,250x0.4)+(20x37) =30,900+740 =31,640 baht. Image 7) Additional services Check that flying with Finnair, exchanging miles through Finnair is probably cheaper. Summary is cheaper, from 31,640 baht to 29,440 baht Finnair miles exchange ticket total 29,440 baht Price of miles exchange ticket = (number of miles x price of miles) + taxes and fees Number of miles 62,500 miles, price of miles 0.4 baht/mile, fee 120€ calculated at a rate of 37 baht/€ = (62,500x0.4) + (120x37) = 25,000 + 4,440 = 29,440 baht Picture 7) Anyway, let's continue to see how much miles are exchanged through British Airways Summary, strange but true, the cheapest exchange through BA is 26,265 baht British Airways miles exchange ticket total 26,265 baht Price of miles exchange ticket = (number of miles x price of miles) + taxes and fees Number of miles 62,500 miles, price of miles 0.4 baht/mile, fee 1,265 THB =(62,500x0.4)+(1,265) =25,000+1,265 =26,265 THB In summary, flying Finnair but exchanging miles through British Airways is the cheapest, so I transferred Qatar miles -> British Airways. The final price was 26,265 THB from a ticket purchased for 82,345 THB/trip, saving 56,080 THB to spend on shopping, eating, and drinking. Exchanging Qatar miles cost 31,640 THB Exchanging Finn Air miles cost 29,440 THB Exchanging British Airways miles cost 26,265 THB I'll emphasize again ‼️ Exchange miles tickets are not always available because airlines release a limited number of tickets for each flight. If in the end, any airline doesn't have any exchange tickets, just buy a ticket on Trip.com so you don't miss an important opportunity ‼️

There is a Moomin Café at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, and if you like Moomin, I highly recommend it! It is especially great for having a cup of coffee while waiting for your flight, as it is located right in front of the Finnair boarding gate to Korea. The interior of the café is decorated with cute Moomin characters, so you can really feel the Finnish atmosphere even in the airport. I had an Americano, but if you drink a latte, they will make latte art with Moomin! They also sell Moomin-related goods, so they are perfect as travel gifts. I recommend stopping by when you have time to kill at the airport and having a leisurely coffee time with Moomin! 📍Moomin coffee #European travel

✨Hotel/Inn Highlights Close to Helsinki Airport. There is a shopping mall within a 10-minute walk. ♨️Facility Introduction The hotel has a sauna. They also sell light snacks and drinks. 🛁Room Introduction I stayed in a standard twin room. The room was clean and had a private bathroom, which was great. 🍽️Breakfast Breakfast is a buffet. There were many options and it was delicious. 🛎️Service There is a free airport bus from Helsinki Airport to the hotel about every hour. The bus is easy to recognize, so if you look for it at the bus terminal about 15 minutes before departure, you should find it quickly.

Helsinki, Finland, November 2024 Moomins!!! The world is full of great and wonderful things, and now @moominofficial has opened a coffee shop at Helsinki Airport! It was a whirlwind visit for me and no time for a coffee, but I managed to snap a few photos before they headed off for their winter hibernation! I hadn’t realised what a global phenomenon these lovable creatures are. They’ve captured imaginations for decades through books, TV, and now coffee shops! And for those up for a truly whimsical adventure, there are even theme parks

a very good facilities,nice people and a beautiful place and a wonderful experience..never regret 😊😊😊 love the place 💖💖💖

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent Helsinki Airport was clean and didn't feel old. It is said to have opened in the 1950s. These days, airports have a lot of modern facilities, but they are sometimes too big or complicated. This place was nice because it wasn't complicated and had everything you need. However... the prices were so high that I was shocked when I went to Burger King. The poor traveler said that the two of us only ate one set.😅

Finnair Lounge inside Helsinki Airport I must try it if I have the chance 🩷🩷 💞Reason for recommendation: The place is not to mention, with a strong sense of design Privacy between the seats is extremely high There are more than ten kinds of food section There are more than four drink machines 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: Most importantly!!️ There is a bartender to make alcoholic drinks for you🍸 My personal biggest concern is the bathroom with the shower service How many are there in total? 30 minutes of private shower time per person is provided with a strong hairdryer plus towels There are staff cleaning 🧹 immediately, very courteous Highly recommended to come to Finland, be sure to enjoy it #FinlandTravel #Finland

Helsinki Airport

I took Finnair from Hong Kong to Helsinki for a transfer, and my final destination was Paris. When we arrived on the way there, it was around 5am in the morning. Many stores were not open yet (normal). We could see a lot of Moomin products (also in the duty-free shop), and there was also a Moomin theme cafe (loyal fans should not miss it and go there for a pilgrimage). ) and theme stores (small but with a lot of stuff). There are many places to shop, including stores of the Finnish brand Marimekko and even second-hand clothing stores. There are also a lot of rest spaces, and most importantly, they are all very clean. The style is Nordic. Overall, the transfer experience is pretty good!

#myhiddengems #summerineurope During my summer trip to Helsinki, I stumbled upon an absolutely charming and affordable accommodation that exceeded all my expectations.

The room I stayed in was cute and cozy, filled with natural light that made it a cheerful place to relax after a day of exploring the city. It was equipped with all the amenities one could need, from a comfy bed to convenient storage space. The big bathroom was another highlight, spacious and impeccably clean, with modern fixtures that added a touch of luxury to the stay. One of the most endearing aspects of the accommodation was the thoughtful little touches scattered throughout the house. A sheep tissue dispenser added a whimsical touch to the bathroom, while other cute decorations around the home made the place feel uniquely welcoming. The warmth and friendliness of the family who owned the house were unmatched, making me feel like part of their home rather than just a guest. Their hospitality truly enhanced the experience, with helpful tips about the city and an open, inviting atmosphere that made me feel comfortable and valued. THEY EVEN HAVE A SAUNA IN THE BATHROOM! Overall, this affordable, well-maintained accommodation in Helsinki was a hidden gem that combined great value with exceptional comfort and charm. The blend of cozy furnishings, practical amenities, and the personal touch of the family made my stay unforgettable and set a high bar for future travels.

YoU know what, I didnt't expect such a smooth experience. it was nice! Flying with Finnair from Helsinki (HEL) to Vilnius (VNO) was a pleasant experience, even on a small aircraft. The boarding process was efficient, and the cabin crew was exceptionally friendly and professional. The in-flight service included complimentary beverage, and i had the blueberry juice, which was a nice touch. The flight itself was smooth, and we arrived in Vilnius on time. The picturesque views of the Baltic landscape from the window added to the enjoyment. Overall, Finnair provided a seamless and comfortable journey.
