Departure airport |
Fare including additional travel |
Helsinki |
local bus |
Finnair |
Heathrow |
£150 + a little = ~£155 |
Tallinn |
ferry, 3 hours |
Easyjet |
Stansted |
£120 + EUR40 = ~£145 (£50 less if leaving 16th) |
Tampere |
bus, 2.5 hours |
Ryanair |
Stansted |
£144 + EUR50 = ~£179 |
Stockholm |
ferry, 16-17 hours |
Ryanair |
Luton or Stansted |
£77 + EUR74 = ~£128 (without cabin, at group rate) |
I'm inclined to take the quick and simple route unless the air fares to Tallinn or Tampere drop substantially.
moray: I'm planning to go, but will be travelling from Edinburgh - though it looks like flying via London may be sensible. broonie: Me too.
Gatwick is good for me, Heathrow isn't too bad. Stansted is a little more stressful, but more than doable. - JD
