Scott's Cheap Flights ☃️ Helsinki — $400s (RT, bags extra) Sep - Jun

Always down for solid fares to Finland. 

The cheapest available fares are basic economy, which means early seat selection and a checked bag are not included. It costs $60-$70 each way to upgrade to regular economy, which includes a checked bag and early seat selection. A checked bag costs $60 each way on all airlines à la carte.

"Take a trip out to the fortress island of Suomenlinna on a ferry, then walk around the fortress/town. The lilac bushes are beautiful in June, and there are several bonuses: you can walk in tunnels under the ramparts of the fortress walls, and you can also see the house in which famous Russian literary critic Vissarion Belinsky was born. Plus, if you buy a 24-hour city travel pass from the airport, that includes passage on the train, any buses, and also the ferry to Suomenlinna." (Thanks to Scott's Cheap Flights member Angela for the tip!)
