Not wanting to be away from home longer than necessary, I thought maybe I can find cheap flights to HEL and work it that way, Obviously it's not that simple!
It got me wondering, could I book that and then change the first leg to reduce layover time? Then more cynically, what's to stop passengers missing the first leg?
Hi,

Depending on the fare rules there could be a heavy change fee ( if it could be changed ) plus a reprice.

Also if you miss the first leg all other legs will very probably be cancelled
