FAQs - booking Finland flights

  • Which airport in Finland should I fly into?

    Finland is served by four major international airports, and it’s best to choose based on your travel itinerary. Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL) is Finland's primary international gateway, with extensive flight connections, making it ideal for further international travel. Oulu Airport (OUL) is excellent for accessing the northern regions. Turku Airport (TKU) serves the southwest, while Rovaniemi Airport (RVN) is perfect for exploring Lapland.

  • Are there direct flight options from New York to Finland?

    If you leave from JFK Airport, you can fly nonstop into Helsinki (HEL). Iberia, American, Finnair, and British Airways operate direct flights along this route. If you plan to visit other cities, like Oulo (OUL), Turku (TKU), or Rovaniemi (RVN), your flight will likely have a stop in Helsinki first.

  • What travel documents do I need to travel to Finland?

    As a U.S. citizen visiting Finland, you’ll need a passport with at least three months' validity beyond your planned departure and two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. You should have proof of a return ticket or onward travel from the country. In addition, you may be asked to show the purpose of your trip, accommodation details, evidence of financial means, and travel insurance coverage.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Finland

  • When leaving New York, choosing John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) as your starting point will give you the broadest range of choices and even offer direct flights. Newark Airport (EWR) is a solid pick if you're looking for budget-friendly options; it's well-connected, too. So whether you're after variety or affordability, both airports have you covered.
  • Scandinavian Airlines provides affordable flights to travelers on a budget. This budget airline flies from Newark Airport (EWR) into Helsinki (HEL) and Oulu (OUL) with only one stop, making it both an affordable and quick option to get to your destination.
  • Keep in mind that the base fare on certain airlines may not include baggage. For example, the Economy Light fare on Finnair only includes a carry-on bag. Upgrading to Economy Superlight will add a checked bag to your ticket and may end up being the more economical choice.
  • If your flight to Finland has a layover, some possible layover cities include London (LHR) on British Airways, Amsterdam (AMS) with Delta, and Stockholm (ARN) if you fly on Scandinavian Airlines. Some of these layover times might be long, which is clearly marked in the KAYAK search.
  • You can reduce your environmental impact by flying direct, as nonstop flights emit less CO2 in general. In addition, you can choose an airline that is invested in environmental projects, such as American Airlines, which uses Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

The seats are very uncomfortable. They never have tomato juice. Usually late

Finnair was not able to get our luggage on a connecting flight and there was a substantial delay of two days to obtain our lugguage. They did not communicate well, and we had to travel a significant distance to finally get our luggage. It has been a very negative experience.

Business seating is soooo uncomfortable. You can sit straight up or lay down. You need pillows behind you because the back doesn’t lay down. Those are need to “prop” you up. The chair has no padding whatsoever. Food was gross. I’ve eaten on Finnair before and the food was exceptional. This time it gave 2 people in our party diarrhea. It was the chicken dish. I took 2 bites and didn’t eat anything more. The flight attendants were nice. You needed an additional lounge in Terminal D at DFW Airport. After waiting 40 minutes to enter, we finally gave up and went to a bar across from the club doors. I’m unsure if I’ll ever book a Finnair flight again.

It was a good flight, very comfortable seats for sleeping in business class. Probably the most comfortable business class seat I've ever had (20+ times in business class on various airlines). Service was good, but the only downside is my screen didn't work and it had to be reset multiple times to get it to shut off. I had to block my eyes because the screen was white almost the entire flight and I wore an eye mask when I slept. But when eating and reading in my seat, my eyes hurt because the only way to turn the screen off was reset it and the screen would only be off for a few minutes at a time.

Everything was wonderful! AirBus seats are more comfortable to sleep in as compared to the Boeing planes.

Wish that everyone would board the back of the plane first. Also let kids on first. The gate wasn’t open at arrival and we waited 45 minutes to takeoff. They made up for time in the air.

The staff were all particularly great. The plane was clean and fresh. The bassinet worked great. It was all very nice.

All good- I love BA and the professionalism of the crew and pilots.

The crew was very good, excellent, they help me with my needs.! Food was not that good.

Food was pretty poor - bland, tasteless. Drinks offerings were very limited also.

The layovers / connections were too short and too long. I SPRINTED to make the connection from OSL-JFK and then SAT for over 6 hours from JFK-BUF. I don’t mind a longer layover more than I want to RUN to make my next connection

Everything was perfect. I would’ve liked better selections for entertainment, but I slept most of the time, so it wasn’t really an issue.

Old plane, food not that great - lacked taste. Crew was nice but strict.

Upon departing and landing, the man seating in front of me had his seat leaning back. Taking off nobody told him anything. Landing someone from the crew said something but the passenger ignored him and nobody followed up. Felt a bit unsecured. If this that is some of the basics are missed, what else was overlooked?

Flight was completely full January 9th? I problem i had the stewardess was bumping into me constantly walking by? very annoying.. on Austrian air I dint have this issue at all...

I have paid for extra legroom on my flight. My seat was broken and did not recline. The crew could not fix it and refused to provide me with another seat

The check in not ok! Demanding that we check our carry ons on check in! When there was plenty of available space inside the plane! And the staff at check- in was rude and not helpful and I was traveling with my autistic son and his service dog! Boarding was easy since we were priority boarding! The crew was ok expect from one guy flight attendant that was actually great!

The flight got canceled and you just send an email in the middle of the night and no solution to how to get on the next flight or provide other solutions.

You cost me my time and did not compensate properly. Gfy.

It was ok. Vegan meal was good, however no complimentary alcoholic beverages.

5 hours delay - minimum communication, no compensation, no support from Airline. Terrible customer experience

Old dirty plane but great lie flat seats in business class

Our flight from Chicago to Des Moines was the problem flight due to a dismissive flight attendant. His conduct was unnecessary and unprofessional.. I will avoid using Americam Airlines again because of the situation. Very disappointing.

Aa cancelled my flight where I was in first class seat 4B. They auto rebooked me on another flight, did not give me a seat assignment until at the gate. Where I got seat 29f, for a 4 hr flight. No accommodation at all for my first class ticket. Left 3 hrs late as well.

It was delayed 5 hours due weather and your app should be rebuilt or disabled. I could not change my original flight on delta so I did it through the delta app. Then rebooked on American once delta cancelled all flights from LGA to PIT on 8/27. American Airlines was fine once the flight took off 5 hours later. I wish my company would find a better provider than kayak.

DCA-LAX No screen on a 5 hour flight (almost) no food for sale on a 5 hour flight (practically) no wifi coverage or speed on a 5 hour flight I should have gotten my money back, shame on American

A crew member's attitude towards a couple passengers who couldn't speak English was rude. Just because they didn't understand what the passenger said, they were not given any snack.

The entire process could’ve been better. Delayed multiple times and American lied and said it was due to Weather in New York, even though other flights were taking off the entire time (including other American Airlines flights)

There were alot of delays without any information. First, my original flight was overbooked so I volunteered to stay back. The layover was hell, I sat in the airport for 4 hours. I was highly disappointed because no one was around to provide answers.

Awful customer service on the phone. No phone number on the website to call a real person. Website says changes are no charge but this is a lie. I had a cheaper ticket through Kayak therefore Finnair wouldn’t change it unless I would pay the entire fare again. I begged but their agents at the airport were rude and the online chat person cut off the call with no help. Super disappointed. Wont fly this airline again and will tell everyone I meet how bad it is. Crew on the flight was nice but otherwise huge disappointment.

Was hard to sleep, but other then that everything was good.

We got to the runway and had to go back to terminal to have plane worked on, which is fine, but the 40 minute connecting flight was already gone because of this delay and had to wait 5 hours to get on a different flight and only got a meal voucher which I didn’t see the email until after I had already ordered and paid for food. I feel I should be compensated.

Hard to figure out how to put back the seat, how to get the entertainment, how to upload passport docs. Also, a warning in the airport that food was all for purchase would have been helpful.

Horrible. My dad was recently hospitalized and diagnosed with lymphoma and Icelandair refused to refund flight even though I had a letter from his physician.

Second time with Saga Premium, everything was fab, but the entertainment centre on both my flights didn't work, plus the seat on the NY to Rek flight (Airbus) was so solid and so uncomfortable. The 737Max flight's seat was much, much better.

Great experience on Icelandair flight from Newark to Amsterdam by way of Reykjavík. Courteous and professional staff. Food was solid. Service - outstanding. Cabin was a little warm.

Icelandair flight was excellent. The checkin and security arrangements for Saga Premium passengers at Newark was very poor - our checkin opened much later than the normal and our security queue simply led us to the back of the normal queue. Someone was having a laugh surely!

Staff in flight and at the airport were very helpful. A short time between flights made it stressful to get to the connecting flight and we probably would not have made it without the staff’s help.

Food was horrible. This wasn’t business class. No leg space, can’t sleep in row position, huge delay

Not much! This was my first flight with Iceland air and unfortunately it wasn’t what I have expected. My luggage is lost nothing as of yet where it was left. Not a good service at all!!

Easily one of the best flights I’ve ever taken. Worth it to upgrade slightly. Crew was phenomenal. Just wish the man sat next to me kept his shoes on. There should be a rule about that. But I wish I could take every flight with BA.

Flight was extremely delayed and they didn’t feed us for a 4 hour delay

Plane took off 90 mins late, on board entertainment was not working, cabin crew was not frequent.

Our seats were reassigned on the day of departure and our small family group of 3 was split up unnecessarily — my wife was seated many rows behind myself and my daughter. The seats were also very small and very tightly packed — there was no space at all — and the seat cushions were hard and uncomfortable. I couldn’t sleep because it was painful on my butt. The cabin crew were nice and the food was decent enough, though.

The chairs were a bit tight even though I had extra feet space…2nd plane didn’t have entertainment and even though they said there was free WiFi-I believe the free WiFi wasn’t accessible unless u had some account set up….which I didn’t figure out

Flight was good but temp in the cabin was cold.

The seats in Premier Economy were very comfortable. The food was better than average. The way British Airways handled our seating was atrocious.

Worst airline in the world. They downgraded me from business class to economy with no compensation.

Even if you wait for connecting passengers you should not be an hour late departing waiting their luggage. Your passengers may have connections in the other end and you harm them.

The leg room on the plane was the smallest I have encountered in all my travels. Ił only 5’4
