Having a flight on Friday I thought I'd check how it was looking on Expert Flyer - is it normally for HEL->VAA to sell out? Worried it might be lined up for a cancellation.

I don‘t know what is going on in VAA this weekend, but it can happen that flights get sold out. Times are crazy currently.

All return flights to HEL are still on sale, so highly unlikely that cancellations are the reason.

Thanks - I didn't think to check the return legs. I guess just must be busy then. Fingers crossed my LHR->HEL isn't late as I only have a 50 minute connection and if that goes wrong it doesn't look hopeful for room on the later flight!

Many times VAA flight waits for connecting passengers. Most likely you won’t be the only one with a tighter connection.

So Bothnia Beer Fest warrants bigger planes than ATR? 😂 https://www.vaasa.fi/en/events/bothn...est-10-11-6-2/

I think it is somewhat anticipated that VAA sells out on a friday. Given VAA is only 2-3 daily ATR for now, used to be 319 and E190 pre-covid. SK is still missing from VAA.
My flights in April and May has been full or in high 90's so one can assume there will be sell outs this summer.
