Today I am headed for a conference in Lahti, Finland, on applied aesthetics, with a few days of sightseeing in Helsinki. No nonstops from LA to Helsinki, so I took a 5-hour non-stop flight to JFK in New York, and then an 8-hour non-stop from JFK to Helsinki.
This is the Finnair flight at the gate in New York. Every seat was full. It's no fun in coach, but with an aisle seat, my iPod, and a good book, these long flights are bearable. 
The Helsinki airport is a dreary modernistic but functional building. 
The signs are tri-lingual - Finnish, Swedish, and English. Finnair runs a convenient bus into the heart of town for only 5.9 Euros. It takes about 30 minutes and drops you right at the Central Train station.NOTE: Click on any image in this blog to see it full-size.
