StopOver Finland:Helsinki Provides anEasier Way to Book Stopovers

Finnairheadquartered in Helsinki announced a quicker and easier way for customers to schedule their stopovers in Finland and discover two destinations during one trip. Customers will now be able to book a stopover for their connecting flight to or from Helsinki on the recently launched stopover.finnair.com website. Finnair customers will also have the possibility of selecting between a wide variety of activities and tours in Finland thanks to the StopOver Finland project, which is led by Visit Finland and is operated in cooperation with Primera Holidays.

Just half an hour away from Helsinki Airport, stopover customers will be able to enjoy the relaxed vibe of Finland’s capital with its seaside atmosphere, design district, cozy cafes and unique restaurants and hotels. Untouched nature is never far away in Finland, and customers will also be able to spend a day cruising through the Finnish archipelago or exploring one of Finland's many national parks. Visitors searching for something truly unforgettable, such as jetting off to northern Finland and experiencing the mystical landscapes of Finnish Lapland, will also be able to organize longer trips thanks to the new initiative. The stopover packages, ranging from five-hour quick layovers to up to 5 day tours, will be available through Primera Holidays’ website at finlandtours.fi during the spring of 2016.

The StopOver Finland program is one of the Team Finland growth programs funded by Finland's Ministry of Employment and the Economy, the project itself is led by Visit Finland together with partners such as Finnair and the tourism industry in Finland.
