Sledge: I'll add links to flight information etc. as I cba.

Womble2: Here are the prices I found (updated 2005-03-07):

Airport	Additional travel	Airline	Departure airport	Fare including additional travel
Helsinki	local bus	Finnair/BA	Heathrow	£161 + a little = ~£165 (£10 less if returning on morning of 17th)
Tallinn	ferry, 3 hours	Easyjet	Stansted	£121 + EUR40 = ~£145 (£45 less if returning on 16th or 19th)
Tampere	bus, 2.5 hours	Ryanair	Stansted	£184 + EUR50 = ~£219 (£40 less if going on 11th, £20 less if returning on 19th)
Stockholm	ferry, 16-17 hours	Ryanair	Luton or Stansted	£73 + EUR74 = ~£124 (without cabin, at group rate)

I'm inclined to take the quick and simple route, though going via Tallinn and spending an extra day there is looking somewhat tempting now.

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

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