You can choose a straight bus to and from Helsinki citycenter. The bus has a stop outside of both terminals. You cannot miss it. The bus goes to the central train station of Helsinki. The travel time is 30 minutes, and the ticket is around 7€/one-way. Buses to other cities in Finlandleave in front of the terminals too. The stops for these long-dist...
There is a straight train connection between Helsinki city centerand the airport. It takes about 30 minutes. Both lines I and P go to the central train station, so it doesn’t matter what to choose. You can buy tickets, for example, from ticket vending machines, Alepa-store, WHSmith kiosks, and R-kiosk. A one-way train ticket to the city center is a...
Taxiswait for you at the entrances of both terminals. The ride to the city center takes about 30 minutes and is around 40 euros. You can find booths of all car rentals nicely in one place: the corridor area between T1 and T2. Companies provide you with all the details. Here is my helpful post about driving in Finland! There are plenty of parking op...
The closest hotels to the airport are Hotel Glo Helsinki Airport and Hilton Helsinki Airport. Glo is, in fact, inside Terminal 2. Hilton is immediately outside of Terminal 2. At the airport, there are sleeping pods if you need to take a rest at the airport. Pods are near gates 22, 31, 50 and cost 6€/hour. I haven’t tested the service myself, and I ...
What annoys me at an unfamiliar airport is that I don’t know what kind of services there are within each step of the way (departure hall > safety control > gate area). Sometimes these are separate spaces, and you cannot go back! Thus, you get stuck in a glass cubical with 100 people, dying of thirst and with a desperate toilet need (been there, don...
Queuing
We Finns don’t know how to zipper up into a nice line at the gate or next to a stand-alone plane. We just have to rush to the entrance! More seasoned Finns may have been standing next to the service counter for a good 20 minutes to make sure they beat everyone else. You can read from everybody’s faceand the rolling of eyes that they think they should be the first one. The Finnish custom is not to use any words with this situation: just stare at the floor, avoid all eye contact and push slowly...
Tap water
Fill your water bottle from the toilet tap.I know to some this sounds disgusting, but we do this all the time! According to many studies, our tap water is cleaner than bottled water. Just carry an empty water bottle through the safety control and fill it up. We have even designated taps for this, so it is easy to work with the bottle. By the way, you can hear Finnish birds singing in the restroom.
The bar
Honestly, I couldn’t take a picture of The Oak Barrelto you because it was packed at 8.30 am. This Irish pub is a mandatory visit for many Finns when they are flying. In social media, you often get a location update from this pre-flight destination.
I have developed own routines to master the place. I always park my car in P3. It is the least expensive indoor parking space with a walking distance to terminals. If I have time, I always go in through T1. It is the perfect entrance when traveling just with cabin luggage. I like the peacefulness of T1. At terminal 2, I often head to the second flo...
