For flying to Finland a natural choice is one of the world's oldest operating airlines, Finnair. The arrival is at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport.

There are three different kinds of transport services at the airport :

The trip from the airport to the city or to the Otaniemi area takes half an hour by taxi, or a little more by public transport. If the traffic is heavy it may take extra 15 minutes.


Bus number 102 shuttles from the early morning till midnight between Helsinki bus station and Otaniemi. The bus leaves from pier 51 at the bus station , which is located in the immediate city center. The trip takes about 10 minutes, 5-7 minutes more if the bus goes via Lauttasaari (marked by T on the bus). The bus stops are marked in the map of Otaniemi by a blue dot.
