broonie: Me too.

Womble2: KLM will fly you from Edinburgh to Helsinki via Schiphol for about £200.

Gatwick is good for me, Heathrow isn't too bad. Stansted is a little more stressful, but more than doable. - JD

mhy: I'll be going; travelling from Newcastle as usual. I'll have to check how much cheaper flying via London is.

jcm: Looking like Helsinki but I won't book this until nearer the time. Are we actually going to organise a group out of Heathrow?

== Flights ==

'''Sledge''': for people in the SE of England, I think Heathrow direct
is probably best. At the moment, [http://www.expedia.co.uk Expedia]
lists the following BA flights that might be of interest. Looks like
BA and Finnair are code-sharing, and BA are mostly cheaper for any
given flight combo, so I'm only listing the BA flight numbers. All
times are '''LOCAL''', i.e. BST and BST + 2.

I'm ignoring flights via Prague that save GBP 3 but add over 2 hours
on the journey time. Costs for these flights seem to be ~GBP 165 for a
cheap flight (evening flight from Heathrow, morning back from HEL), or
~GBP 190 for other options.

'''Noodles''': I'm tempted to go for a flight from Norwich - it's via Amsterdam and costs £40 more, but saves me travelling all the way to Heathrow. There's a 16:30->22:30 on Fri 8th and a 06:40->09:30 on Monday 18th. And it's 10 minutes or so to the airport from home. ;) It's close enough in timings to the BA798 that I could still meet people at Helsinki airport for onward travel though.
