I believe they calculate the 30 minutes as an elderly person using the facility. Most of the public areas usually tend to that. It is anyway great to know that Finnair helps its passengers with such informations. The majority of the airlines do not mention such things. Once again a great service and a "Magic Moment".
It is a lie! It is almost impossible to manage a connection between non-schengen and schengen in the time they give. My plane was 5 minutes late, and I had to run like crazy! The plane was delayed, however, but that doesn't disprove the fact that even 45 minutes is an impossible transfer time, given that we had to go by bus after landing.
That is not true at all!!! I had a terrible experience when I arrived from Zürich on 14 Jan 2019. The flight was already delayed due to the clearing of snow. I have looked for everywhere to find the direction of transfer and yet I could not find any. And then I tried to ask around and no one was willing to help because they did not want to speak English!! I then turned to a group of men who were at the taxi service. All the locals can't speak English except their Turkish manager. Instead of helping me, the Turkish man raised his voice at me after he had seen my boarding pass and said "You are very late!" He pointed to me the direction angrily as if this was my fault for being late. The distance was very long and I had to run like crazy in order to catch the next flight. I have hurt my shoulders because of the heavy stuffs I carried which was not allowed to check into my luggage just by 1kg extra. From then on I swear never ever to transfer at Helsinki airport anymore. I have visited quite a lot of countries. Helsinki airport and the people there are so far the most unfriendly ones in my experience. I rather spend more money on my yearly Europe trip than to fly by the cheap Finnair. The bad experience is just not worth the money.
To me it looks like the mother and daughter are not speaking with each other. It also looked like the mother was in business class and the daughter in economy. No wonder the daughter was in such a huff ;)
+19bootsy68 Was going to say the very same thing. Great promo but it looks unusual the mother and the daughter apart from each others. What kind of mother does that to their kids specially leaving them alone like that ? Its not safe one would think. Strange relationship on this video.
For someone travelling with a normal (not biometric) passport, how much time does it take to change the planes, considering that both flights are operated by FinAir and have been booked on the same ticket? Also, is it possible to have a check-in and get the boarding passes at the starting destination (Delhi) itself, to save time during transit at Helsinki Airport?
This is such an odd video, are the woman and child traveling together ? The child is in economy and the woman in business, the woman also just wanders off with the child following along with no bag/id etc.. the woman also only hands over one boarding pass and passport whilst the child just wanders on through security with nothing and only produces a passport at border security. I'm not sure what Finnair is doing with this video but I think the message is lost by producing a weird video.
It''s pretty much standard on all Europe's airports of you transfer from an non-EU airport in to a domestic (Schengen area) flight to do so. As EU like the US have higher security then for example many Asian airports. As a example i fly Finnair regularly between Sweden and New Delhi, India with transfer at Helsinki and i can tell the security check at Delhi's IGI airport is not through as Finland and Sweden.
