Frequently Asked Questions about Booking flights to Finland from United Kingdom
To find cheap flight tickets to Finland, we recommend booking at least 7 weeks in advance and being flexible with your travel dates. Use TICKETS.ME.UK to compare prices across different airlines and set up price alerts. Flying into Helsinki and taking local transport to other cities can also save you money compared to direct flights to smaller airports.
TICKETS.ME.UK is a flight aggregator and displays the cheapest prices from hundreds of airline and booking site partners. We scan sites like Expedia, Skyscanner, and direct airline pages to find the best deals. By comparing all these sources in one place, we ensure you see the lowest available fare for your route.
Airline and booking sites actually pay us to be featured on our platform because the travel industry is so competitive. We do not add any extra fees or markups to the prices you see. The price you see on TICKETS.ME.UK is the same price you will find on the provider's website.
November is typically the cheapest month to fly to Finland from the UK. This is because it falls between the popular summer season and the busy Christmas period in Lapland. You can often find significant discounts on flights to Helsinki or Tampere during this time if you don't mind the shorter days.
Yes, there are direct flights from Manchester to Helsinki operated by Finnair. For other Finnish cities like Rovaniemi or Oulu, you will usually need to connect through Helsinki. Using TICKETS.ME.UK allows you to compare the cost of direct flights versus connecting flights to find the best deal for your budget.
UK citizens do not currently need a visa for short stays in Finland (up to 90 days in a 180-day period) for tourism. However, you should ensure your passport is valid for at least six months. Always check the latest government travel advice before booking your cheap flights to Finland as regulations can change.
Finnair, Ryanair, and Norwegian frequently offer the best Finland flight deals from UK airports. Ryanair often has low-cost flights to Lappeenranta or Tampere, while Finnair provides a more premium service to Helsinki with excellent connections to the rest of the country. Comparing these on TICKETS.ME.UK helps you find the best value.
Finding cheap flights to Finland for Christmas is challenging due to high demand for Lapland. We suggest booking as early as possible, ideally in the spring or early summer. Flying on Christmas Day itself or choosing less traditional destinations like Turku or Oulu can also help reduce the cost of your holiday airfare.
It is almost always cheaper to fly to Helsinki than directly to Rovaniemi. Helsinki is a major international hub with more competition between airlines. Many budget-conscious travelers book a cheap flight to Helsinki and then use the VR train service or a domestic low-cost flight to reach Lapland and save money.
You can set up a price alert on TICKETS.ME.UK by searching for your desired route and clicking the 'Get Price Alerts' button. Enter your email address, and we will notify you immediately when the price for your flight to Finland drops. This is one of the most effective ways to secure a bargain.
Practical Finland Travel Guide for UK Visitors
Planning a trip to Finland requires some practical knowledge about local life and logistics. This guide helps you navigate the essentials for a smooth journey.
Finland has an incredibly efficient public transport system. In Helsinki, the HSL app is your best friend for trams, buses, and the metro. For long-distance travel, the VR train network is comfortable and punctual, offering scenic routes across the country. If you are heading to remote parts of Lapland, renting a car is often necessary, but be prepared for winter driving conditions. Internal flights are also common for reaching the far north quickly. Always book train tickets in advance on the VR website to get 'Saver' fares, which are significantly cheaper than buying on the day of travel.
From luxury glass igloos in Lapland to budget hostels in Helsinki, Finland offers a wide range of stays. For a true Finnish experience, look for a 'mökki' or lakeside cottage, which usually comes with its own sauna. In cities, boutique hotels are popular, but can be pricey. Consider booking apartment rentals to save on food costs by cooking at home. During the peak winter season in the north, accommodations can sell out months in advance, so plan early. Many Finnish hotels include a substantial buffet breakfast and access to a communal sauna as part of the standard room rate.
Finns value privacy, honesty, and punctuality. When meeting someone, a firm handshake and eye contact are standard. Silence is not considered awkward in Finland; it is often a sign of respect and listening. The most important cultural institution is the sauna; almost every home and hotel has one. It is a place for relaxation and even business discussions. Always remove your shoes when entering a Finnish home. While English is widely spoken to a high standard, learning a few basic Finnish words like 'Kiitos' (Thank you) is always appreciated by the locals you meet during your travels.
Finnish food is centered around fresh, seasonal ingredients from the forest and sea. Must-try dishes include 'Karjalanpiirakka' (Karelian pasties), reindeer meat, and fresh salmon. Berries like lingonberries and cloudberries are staples in desserts. Dining out can be expensive, but many restaurants offer 'Lounas' (lunch) specials on weekdays, which provide a high-quality meal for a fixed, lower price. Tap water in Finland is among the cleanest and best-tasting in the world, so there is no need to buy bottled water. For a local experience, visit a kauppahalli (market hall) for fresh pastries and local delicacies at reasonable prices.
