Question Hi Jim,
I live near Flensburg and would like to take my husband and my son to Helsinki/Tallin for a short holiday sometime soon (maybe late March). What would be the best and cheapest way to get there (and back?) any ideas? I am not German so I cannot read all the German pages.
http://www.ryanair.com (Just now very cheap offers from Frankfurt-Hahn to Tampere if you book tickets very quickly. There are very good and fast train connections between Tampere and Helsinki, see http://www.vr.fi/heo/eng/index.html , please.)
http://wizzair.com (Some extremely cheap tickets, but the departure is from Gdansk, Poland, and the arrival to Turku, Finland. And flights won't begin before April. There are very good and fast train connections between Turku and Helsinki, see http://www.vr.fi/heo/eng/index.html , please.)
I recommend that you stay overnight in Helsinki ( http://groups.msn.com/FinlandTravelClub/helsinki.msnw ) and book a boat trip from Helsinki to Tallinn (one day excursion or with staying overnight in Tallinn). There are many very good and fast boat companies operating between Helsinki and Tallinn:
