Not sure if it's worth mentioning but this could also prove useful for those living in the St Petersburg region of Russia (despite their established connection with Emirates). All too often I see on the Russian versions of SecretFlying deals which depart Riga, Tallinn or Helsinki. I myself often find that flights from the EU to be cheaper than from Russia itself to the point that it's almost worth me taking the train and bus from Moscow to Helsinki via St Petersburg. Presumably, the Estonian/Latvian markets would be another source of passengers too. After all, HEL is closer than WAW and saves the effort of getting Russian visas!
