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?

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.

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.

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!
