What did you do that you are being sent to Lieksa? The reason I say that is because I had to go to Outokumpu a number of times and the nearest airport there is also Joensuu. You are pretty much stuck with Finnair in Finland. But they are very efficient and that flight is very short, about an hr total. DL has codeshare with KL going to HEL, so you can pretty much keep it on DL all the way to HEL. Finland is beautiful in the summer and pretty much daylight all day. So you can play golf at night. Or do what a lot of Finns do, sauna and vodka, then jump into the lake. Oh, stay away from that salted Baltic herring. I still don't know how they can eat that for breakfast but they always serve on it the breakfast buffet.
