So what's all the fuss about public transport being so dangerous? I had the Tunturilinjat Levi-KTT airport bus all to myself this morning. Nice taxi deal for 7€/half-round-trip 
A321 was not very full either. Probably more people on the way in, but even then... not sure why they'd use it. More efficient than A319?

finavia helsinki duty free starts pop up store to get cash
https://www.finavia.fi/fi/uutishuone...inki-duty-free
But I never found its price competitive comparing to online shops of discounts, especially for skincare/cosmetics.

Last time I looked at the Fazer prices in the duty free shop in the non-Schengen zone, I had to think it's really idiocy to buy there, when some of the chocolates can be had cheaper by going landside and into Alepa. And of course any Prisma or Citymarket would serve one better. I know who they cater to, but honestly speaking HEL isn't really a great shopping airport.

No airport is a great shopping airport... its a combination of location and offerings that gives these airport shops an opportunity to pull money out of your pocket. The alcohol & tobacco sales have become minimal nowadays. Once upon a time when alcohol and tobacco was taxed highly and you travelled outside your customs zone for pretty much every destination (pre-1990s) the 'duty free' shop still made sense. Also you had airports like DXB who sold DF articles cheaper (I remember a carton of 200 marlboro cigarettes for 8$) to entice you to fly with a stop in the desert in the middle of the night. Those are getting rarer too.
