Having visited Finland, you will never forget its fresh frosty air, fast laikas, graceful deer, steep descents, deep transparent rivers and intoxicating freedom. She will always remain in your sensitive heart.

Going to any country, it's important to choose a good airport. Finland owns thirty airports, of which 10 airports have international status. The most important international airports of the country are Helsinki-Vantaa, Tampere-Pirkkala and Lappeenranta.

Helsinki-Vantaa

This first class international airport accepts most types of aircraft. Through it 90% of international flights are carried out. Helsinki-Vantaa accepts Russian airlines and more than thirty foreign ones. This airport in Finland is the base for Finnish national air carrier Finnair. There are two terminals, they work round the clock. In April 2013, he was honored to be the best airport in Northern Europe.

Lappeenranta - the oldest airport in Finland

It is located in the city of Lappeenranta, with which its name is associated. Old enough, he is 95 years old. The last two years there have been significant reductions in terms of passenger traffic. The reason for this was the decrease in low-cost airlines. Also this airport is used by a large number of citizens of Russia because of the presence of the budget airline Ryanair.

Tampere-Pirkkala

This is the international airport of Finland - the third largest passenger traffic and the second - for international air transport. There is already the 77th year and provides air travel to the countries of Western and Central Europe. Like Lappeenranta, it cooperates with budget airlines Ryanair. It does not work round the clock. The airport is closed from 01:30 to 04:00.

Tours to Finland

If you still decide to learn the incredible nature of Finland and plunge into the world of childhood with your child in Santa's house, the trip should be carefully thought through, and of course, book a tour to Finland in advance. This will guarantee you not only one hundred percent, for example, the celebration of the Finnish New Year with notes of a fairy tale, but will also provide an opportunity to save on a trip to about half. There are burning tours, but often they need to adjust their plans, which, in turn, is not very convenient for many. Tickets to Finland can be bought or reserved online in advance, which will significantly reduce their total cost, but this is only possible if you buy them about three to five months before departure. If you do not have time to wait and you need to fly one of these days, the price for air tickets for residents of Russia will be approximately the following: Helsinki - 5024 rubles, Oulu - 8775 rubles, Vaaza - 7830 rubles, Turku - 5469 rivers, Kuopio - 8589 р. And Tampere - 5161 rubles. (The prices are valid as of August 14, 2013).
