Helsinki bag drop
We have a longish transfer at HEL next year. We will have to collect our luggage from the incoming flight and recheck it in for the late pm departing AY flight. Assuming we have our boarding passes, what is the earliest (before flight departure) we can drop off our luggage before heading through security, passport control and lounges (I am OWE)? Obviously I want to avoid having to hang around the check in area, waiting for bag drop to open up, if possible!
The AY website info just says baggage drop off is open at least 2hrs before departure. I want to know whether we could drop off luggage say 6 hrs before departure.

I believe that the self service bag drop at HEL doesn't mind if you drop off the bag 6 hours before. You can even drop off bags the evening before your flight, so is quite flexible:

I have a somehow complicate question regarding day before/early bag drop in HEL for AY flights.
On the same day I will fly HEL-BLQ as final leg of a BLQ-HEL-HKG sale trip, and then again BLQ-HEL-HKG, with a direct turnaround in BLQ.
What I would like to know is: before departing from HEL to BLQ, may I check a bag for the HEL-HKG flight even if the trip starts in BLQ?
Thank you!

I do not trust that "regulation", plus I want the TPs from the BLQ legs.
