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

womble: Here are the prices I found:

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.

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