HEL inbound

0/ Outstation checkin - agent is clearly clueless about Kanta screenshot about vaccination, asked what iti was and what did it say. That was it

1/ The setup at the terminal is very much suggesting that either you have a test or must get tested. Luckily we landed early, just before the incoming Asian wave. As my employer requires a negative test after a work trip, I didn't argue, just went to get the test, could as well do it instead of waiting at the carousel. 7 pax in front of me, many testing stations. (Result came the following morning)

Clearly this is an untenable setup if travel picks up even a little bit. And why should MY council tax pay for it??!!

2/ Foreign (EU) inbound pax "grilled" by border guard (friendly)

"What's the reason of your trip?"
"Meeting boyfriend"
>>at this point she showed him her phone<<
"Been together long?"
"xxxxx"
"Where did you meet?"
"zzzzzz"
"Enjoy your time in Finland"

Would be easy questions for a third country citizen, very intrusive for EU citizens.
