Helsinki is served primarily by Helsinki Airport (HEL), Finland’s main international gateway and a northern European hub for full-service carriers and frequent low-cost connections. Located about 17 km north of the city centre, it’s typically reachable in 25–40 minutes by train or taxi; the I/P train runs to Helsinki Central in roughly 30 minutes and fares are commonly in the modest range for Finnish public transport, while taxis take around 25–35 minutes depending on traffic and cost noticeably more. The airport tends to be well-equipped with lounges, shops and efficient security, making it comfortable for transfers, though busy periods can mean longer queues. For budget-conscious travellers, some regional flights operate from smaller nearby fields, but most international options go through HEL.
