I've checked the links above and can't find any no-frills airlines flying to Helsinki from London. Does anyone know of one?

Or is my best bet to fly to Tampere and take the train? Or Tallinn and take the boat?

I have used this website to save loadsamoney. There is a map which you can use to plot your way around Europe. For example, I often fly Aberdeen to Dublin by Ryan Air for next to nothing and then the world opens up via Easyjet, Aer lingus etc !!! It also means that I can have a day in Dublin either side of my break in temple bar !! I know of at least one small airline that's not listed but the way to check this is check the website of the airport in question and that should list any obscure carriers that fly in or out.

I went to the World Athletics in Helsinki last year. Flew into Tampere and then hired a car and drove up - only a couple of hours, and pretty guaranteed to be no traffic as there's nothing there!

Use the usual suspects a lot but getting increasingly frustrated with this kind of thing.

PAYMENT DETAILS
********51.96 GBP Adult
********64.22 GBP Taxes,Fees & Charges
********14.72 GBP Aviation / WCHR Levy
*********0.00 GBP Car Rental
*********0.00 GBP Insurance
*******130.90 GBP Total Paid

The fare was £12.99 each way. Extras inc. baggage charges inc hand luggage and card payment fees + taxes etc.

Just want a true fare - not a lot to ask they think we are idiots.

That was a Ryanair booking. Easyjet are similar.

Already mentioned:

Flight search engine which can show you the lowest price fare between any two points. Good for 12 months. Great for those weekly flyers trying to identify busy periods, so you can book up in advance.

Ryannair are a joke. :evil:

I've just discovered that I can fly from my local airport Bournemouth to Limoges now :D , but my heart sank when I realised it was Ryannair.

Ticket to Limoges £2.99 per person :shock:
Ticket back again £0.99 per person :shock:

Taxes/Fees £255.75 :lol: :lol:

Why don't they just tell the bl**dy truth? Who do they think they're kidding? Idiots

The Ferry companies are just as bad;

£310 with a car. I know, we'll go as foot passengers and hire a car at the other end.
Price for five foot passengers; £280 :evil: So my car can go for £30 but the passengers who'll be eating and drinking their overpriced products have to fork out £56 each. :(

Just booked a flight with Flying Blue low cost airline. You can take pets in the cabin. Should be an interesting flight :-)
Not flying blue. That's KLM, who definitely do t allow pets. I meant Sky Airline. You can book a seat for your dog.

Slightly disappointingly there weren't any dogs on the plane.
Just 100 Chileanos and one Gringo.

Just looked at the OP - bit out of date now.

WOW Air is an Icelandic budget airline that flies to/from EDI, LGW and Bristol. www.wowair.com Started doing transatlantic flights this year and usually have good rates to Iceland

There's also Norwegian, flying from LGW, BHX and EDI www.norwegian.com

TUE are Belgian - fly from most of the London airports, EDI and maybe a couple of regional airports www.TUEfly.com

Not used TUEfly but have flown with the others and they're fine. Better than RyanAir anyway :-)
