The scale of the airport is stunning! Book your tickets through Trip.com for more benefits!
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, as the home of Santa Claus, is full of Christmas atmosphere all year round 🤣 And Finland's Helsinki airport has a large Christmas cabin, the cabin itself is a traditional residence in Finland, walk in can learn about the traditional Finnish warm and simple family Life😊 Different illustrations are hung on the walls, introducing different Christmas characters, such as Christmas elves, Santa Claus information📖 The windows are also placed with candles, which is also very Scandinavian!🕯️
This Christmas cabin also hangs an advantage calendar, each grid has an object representing Finland 😍 And the most representative of Finland, of course, is not missing every household must have a sauna! There is also a sauna room inside this cabin, you can take pictures in your clothes 🤣🤣🤣

Award-winning airport lounge: Helsinki Plaza Premium Lounge
There is no direct flight from Norway back to Hong Kong, so I took Finnair and transferred back to Hong Kong🇭🇰 in Helsinki for up to 8 hours to Helsinki Plaza Premium Lounge in Departure hall Rest 3 hours😌😌😌 Go to this waiting room, you will definitely understand why this waiting room will win the award🏆 The waiting room is very large, the seats are spacious and comfortable, most seats can be charged, the details are done seriously☺️ Each person can choose up to two hot food, hot food is very sincere, we two together I tried four, including meatballs, Fujian fried noodles, Italian milk jelly and Thai curry chicken rice

A non traditional airport
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

The gap in
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.

Cozy & Cute: Moomin Coffee at Helsinki Airport 🇫🇮
#europetravel
If you're traveling through Helsinki Airport, make sure to stop by Moomin Coffee! Located just past immigration in the Non-Schengen area, this adorable café is the perfect place to grab a drink before your flight. The cozy atmosphere, decorated with Moomin-themed furniture and figurines, makes it a fun and relaxing spot for both Moomin fans and casual travelers.
I ordered a chai latte, and it was warm, creamy, and just the right amount of spiced sweetness—exactly what I needed before a long flight. The café also offers a variety of pastries and coffee options, making it a great place for a quick break.

Relaxing Lunch at Finnair Business Lounge🍽️
#celebrateit
The Finnair Business Lounge at Helsinki Airport is a fantastic place to relax before your flight. It’s spacious with a variety of seating options, so whether you prefer a comfy armchair, a quiet corner, or a sleek desk, you’ll find a spot that suits your mood. The lounge has a peaceful and modern vibe, making it an ideal place to unwind.
The lounge offers a great selection of food and desserts. I had the salmon in cream sauce, which was deliciously rich, and paired it with a slice of carrot cake for dessert—so good! The food is fresh and definitely satisfying, with both savory and sweet options available throughout the day.
**Why I recommend the lounge:**
- Lots of seating choices, so you can find the perfect spot to relax or work.
- Delicious food, especially if you're a fan of salmon or sweet treats like carrot cake!

🇫🇮 Moomin Cafe at the Airport
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!

Clean and uncluttered Helsinki Airport
#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.😅

Helsinki Airport Transit Experience
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!

Finnair was nice!
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.

[Over Finland] Aurora from an airplane
This is a photo from when I went to England via Finland.
I had looked it up beforehand and found out that I might be able to see the Northern Lights on the flight to Finland, so I booked seats AB on the plane.
I had a gyudon (beef bowl) at Haneda Airport as my last Japanese meal, but my first meal on the plane was sukiyaki!! It was delicious!!
I was told that the Northern Lights might be visible between 1am and 3am, but before I knew it, I was fast asleep.
The information said that the flight attendant would tell me, but there was no announcement.
I woke up around 2:30am and looked outside, and saw a green haze.
I squinted and it was the Northern Lights!!
I was so happy because I never thought I would be able to see them! The flight attendant even said that it was rare to see them so clearly, and they were so beautiful!
AB seats are recommended for Japan → Finland
EF is recommended for Finland → Japan!
The time is between 1am and 3am! Seeing the Northern Lights in the warmth of a plane is a bit different, but I recommend it!

Cleanliness itself, the gateway to Northern Europe! Helsinki International Airport!
This airport is located in Vantaa, Usama region, Finland. The Finnish government is said to have invested heavily in making it a European transfer hub. It is a V-shaped airport that is very clean. It is divided into T-1 and T-2, but they are virtually connected. Above all, the main explanations are also written in Korean, and it is very easy to travel to downtown Helsinki by train.

Finnair AY099 in-flight meal (from Helsinki to Hong Kong)
Tickets are about 11 hours or so, there are two meals provided, the taste is remarkable a little disappointed!
The first meal is more rich, there are cold and hot food, cold macaroni with cheese hot plate is tomato chicken with similar grains  groove cucumber, the taste is generally not bad but not everyone can accept 🥹 the bun is also cold
The second meal was a local breakfast before landing, banana cake and like spinach chicken rolls, banana cake normal, chicken rolls because there is no paper wrapped with carton heating, a bit of paper plastic smell 🫠
