finnair delhi helsinki
 
I have booked Finnair over other airlines hoping for a decent flight to Europe in Sept.
But I'm getting mixed to bad reviews about the service .
Anyone who could put me abreast with their experience?
I'm flying ParCDG/Hel/Del wit a one hr stopover in Hel.... any inputs?
Thanks

In a number of flights on Finnair I have zero complaints. Helsinki is a lovely and easy airport.

One hr. isn't much. Is that the only option? If so what happens if you miss the connection? Is there a flight the next day?

sourabhsharma Jun 4th, 2013 09:18 AM

ya there is... @jacketwatch... but i dunno if finnair provides accomodation etc

Finnair's minimum connection time (MCT) for international > international "online" connections (i.e. same airline) at Helsinki is 35 minutes. In my experience that means you'll be waiting at the departure gate for 25 of those.

Thanks @ gardyloo

Thanks... expecting Finnar to have a good ontime record...

I think as U are flying them from the onset that should there be a missed connection it's their responsibility to provide accommodations.

I wonder about how frequent they have HEL to DEL flights. Daily? Hopefully this is not going to be an issue.

sourabhsharma Jun 11th, 2013 04:47 AM

Ya.... they do fly daily
Just making sure i'm not caught unawares if things don't go as per schedule...
Wudn't like surprises in Helsinki...

Well it could be worse. If you miss a connection Finnair has to accommodate you and there is a lot to see in Helsinki.

Have fun!

sourabhsharma Jun 14th, 2013 06:57 AM

he he.... lets miss the connection then...

Could be worse. Ha ha.

Have a safe trip.
