What's the current situation for these tight connections if the RIX-HEL arrives on time? Is it going to be stressful?
You can't use the e-gates at HEL and will get the full third country works at immigration. Depending on the time of day, the queues can be very long and very slow even outbound. I travelled a few weeks back with a mate who has a UK passport, I was in the lounge for 55 minutes before he joined me.
