TLL back to back on finnair, BA6013 to AY1024, HBO.
 

Hi

im booked on finnair LHR to TLL via HEL. 15th Jan, arriving in TLL 1700, The return is from ARN - LHR 16th Jan in the evening... convoluted I know but cost effective in J.

I Then need to get to ARN evening of 15th.

my options are AY 1024 departing 1725 - is there a B2B possibility (but in this case as separate tickets / HBO) or best go for the AY 1032 departing 2135.

or secondly miss the TLL leg but will this cancel the ARN - LHR return?

was hoping for the A350 - or I’d be on an earlier departure from LHR making the TLL connection more sensible.

still within the 24hr cancellation period (2100 sat).

B2B at TLL is foolproof if HBO. Arriving and departing pax are in the same area. Get off the ATR, walk up the stairs, and you are at the gate where the pax for the flight back wait.

95% foolproof. On my first TLL trip we were parked remotely and bussed in. This deposits you at the bottom of one of the gates and you walk up the stairs into the terminal, which is fine if the flight is on time as you will be only a few meters at most from the departing bus gate. The issue is if you are delayed inbound and they have already "boarded" the departing pax onto the bus and sent it out to the remote parking position before you have even been bussed in.
