Flying Finnair
We recently flew Finnair from Tokyo to Barcelona, via Helsinki, and loved it. We flew over the top of the world – the Arctic Circle! The food was great, and different to what we’re used to. A short stopover in the Helsinki Airport made me want to go back and see the city. One day perhaps!
Interesting flight path! Across the northern part of the world.
More instrument information for passengers.
The Arctic Circle.
There must be some polar bears down there!
I gave my camera to the Captain and asked him to take a photo for me from the cockpit, hoping that he would invite me up there, but no such luck!
Finnish fare on board.
Iittalia glass ware – always popular.
I liked the look of this Norwegian Air plane.
The grooviest ball shaped chairs in Helsinki Airport. Very comfortable too.
Abba lax paste.

I always fly Finnair…it’s great! You should stop in Helsinki. It is full of gorgeous Art Nouveau buildings (with a Nordic twist), great shopping, interesting restaurants and friendly people…what more could you want?
I know you do and I’ve always read your blogs about it..I really hope we get there again before too long Debra! It seems such an interesting place.
Thanks for all your travel tips and photos. It appears you are having an amazing time. Looking forward to the next instalment

Thanks Leona – I’m home now, but would love to go back and explore Helsinki sometime!
Mary nice memories re a wait for Fin air to take us up over gorgeous northern waterways below on our way from Helsinki to Norway. Looked down trying to spot habitation on the islands below. Tiny white specs of whitish craft anchored in obscure wee harbours. Sun sparkling on the slim water ways. Had almost forgotten.
Mary,We loved Helsinki. Lots do wonderful seafood. We are down at Byron Bay for the writers festival-we enjoyed the speakers.

Oh you’re so lucky to have been to Helsinki Denise – I hope we get there someday instead of just passing through the airport!
