What is the policy with Finnair-packed duty free bags in HEL T2? Has somebody been able to take a bottle through the HEL transfer security?

If so, maybe you could buy it from the pre-order catalogue?

Please read the sticky!

Any products purchased and sealed onboard a Finnair long-haul flight can be brought through the security check and any such item bought at Singapore/US airport is also allowed.

Starting from April 1, 2014, Finnair (as well as Alko, ferry operators etc.) can list all alcohol on their web sites.

No, this is not April Fool's joke. For once someone had an ounce of common sense.

Didn't notice the "multiple page" indicator

Sorting by "Highest price first" moved the Koskenkorvas et al out ofmy sight...

Outright shocking that this can happen. Think of the children! They could just browse a catalogue online containing pictures of liqueur bottles. Now where is the phone number of my MP??

Just remeber that the 10€ discount coupon valid only at gate 28 has returned this year - add in the 10% FF discount and the numerous AY gift vouchers we got as compensation for food strike in Euro-J, I think we can get some decent drinks for free..
