Mini do: Helsinki, 31 Jan to 02 Feb, 2020
 
A short winter city break over a weekend in Helsinki, so we have something to look forward to after Christmas. No driving on this trip, just chilling out in the city. Probably quite chilly. :)

Most of us are on BA 794 out (Friday) and BA 799 back (Sunday). Arriving on Saturday is fine as well if you have no annual leave left.

In I class the price was £209 for 160 TPs so a nice few tier points for every £. I think however we are now down to R class seats only which adds a few extra pennies.

The hotel is the Hilton Helsinki Strand.

A programme of events has yet to be devised, but I think there will be a free walking tour on Saturday morning and probably a few drinks in the evenings.

Bring your mittens.

Put me down as a maybe, I've been to HEL but never left the airport. I'm just looking at the MAN-HEL AY flights.

Unbelievable!!! Couldn't you have chosen a different weekend??

I am already going to Helsinki that weekend. I wonder if it is a refundable fare? Yet another weekend ruined!!!

:p

I feel this is a hollow gesture - which other BA return flight would you have picked that day instead? :p ;)

I have added a wiki. Please feel free to add as many HEL puns as you can think of.

I'm up for this but on the direct AY flights from MUC.

This seems fun. I'm going to play around with flights and see if I can make it work.

Not sure you guys want cistavoda around! You will have to endure heavy drinking for 48 hours and will suffer from a massive hangover! :D

I speak from experience. :(

Only those who sober up ever suffer from hangovers ;)

Tough luck, I'll be warming up in DXB for some CGK travel at that time, so I have to pass.

Wish you all a HEL lot of fun! :)
