Thanks! These Intercity and Pendolino trains travel up to 200 km/h.

Yes, you are correct, unfortunately this a very poor quality video and I apologize for that. But please understand that this is an older video and one of the first flight videos I have taken as a child. I have made the decision to upload these older flight videos for anyone who is interested in viewing them, especially since some of these videos may feature airline/aircraft/flight route combinations that no longer exist. Any future videos I take will be much better quality.

That's great to hear! Thanks for watching.

Yes! There were very few other travelers at the time. The airport and aircraft was empty.

Kiitos!

Thank you for your support, I appreciate it.

Wow, very interesting. I never knew that a smaller Finnish town like Kauhava would get mentioned on an international novel. Thanks for watching!

@@worldtravelfin Haha,this novel is based on WWII,Kauhava is a important Finish airforce base,so the writer mentioned it.

@@enterprise3650 Well that makes sense. Yes, at the time, the air base was widely used, just not that much anymore. I'm glad the writer mentioned it.

@@worldtravelfin He was a good writer,but unfortunately,he has gone because of cancer in2009.

@@enterprise3650 That is unfortunate to hear. Thanks for sharing this information.

Thank you for watching!

Finland is a nice place, there is a lot to do and see. You should definetly visit there if you are interested. Finnair only flies to London Heathrow. You can however fly nonstop from London Gatwick to Helsinki on Norwegian Air.

@@worldtravelfin cool! ill check it out sometime

6 minutes is very little, but it should be just enough time as long as you move quickly. But I would change the ticket to a longer transfer at Tikkurila, if possible. When you arrive to Tikkurila, immediatly go up the stairs to get above the platform. From there, check the monitors that show your train number and which track it leaves from. Then, locate that track and go down the stairs to the correct platform. I recommend trying the "VR Matkalla" app as it gives you information on what track your train leaves from, so that you know exactly where to go before you even arrive to Tikkurila. Good luck!

This sounds like an interesting idea. There has been a plan to construct a railway tunnel between Helsinki and Tallinn as the two cities are not too far apart. Also, with the Rail Baltica project, this tunnel would give quick and easy access from Finland to the Baltics and the rest of Europe. If these projects take place, I wonder if a railway between Turku and Stockholm would be worth investing in? Also, the track gauge in Finland is different from the European standard gauge, which would create a bit of issues for transportation past Stockholm.

Great idea 👍But Finland has a other gauge than Sweden.

@@worldtravelfin That's true with the gauge.Has Finland the same gauge like Russia or Ukraine❓

@@allyreneepenny9447 Yes, Finland uses the 1524mm gauge that is compatible with the 1520mm gauge used in Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltics. This has made rail transportation possible between Finland and Russia. There is also a passenger train that connects Helsinki and St. Petersburg.

@@worldtravelfin Ah okay ❗ Thanks for the answer 🙋🏻‍♀️👍

Thank you very much!

There is this VR app and website that not only allow you to book the tickets but it also tell you the platform number. You can check that out. And train schedule board at every station also shows the platform number of this train. Also the fellow passengers nearby will also help.

Yes, I recommend using the "VR Matkalla" app as it gives you live information and updates on your trip including which tracks your trains leave from. The train stations will also have each train's departure time and track visible on the monitors.

@@Sunny-qe5el kiitos paljon

@@worldtravelfin thank you . im so worried about this ive even considered renting car to drive. Even with the higher expense.

@@Sunny-qe5el appreciate it

Thanks for watching! For the small commuter trains, there is no specific location to put your luggage, you just keep it with you at all times. If you are traveling on an InterCity or Pendolino train to Tampere, there will be a specific section meant for luggage, located near the entrance doors. If you are booking your tickets online, you can find these luggage sections on the train map while selecting your seat. There is also an area over the seats where you can keep smaller luggage.

Thanks

Yes, there are!

Thank you!

Many Finish people I've met in the past were gorgeous 😍 Dark black hair with deep blue eyes ,or brown eyes !! I loved Hanoi Rocks as a teenager in Tokyo !! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞

Thanks for watching. For economy class, Finnair's flights only have internet access for a fee. It was the same for this flight, however, I have never tried it before. I'm not sure about the current prices, but a few years ago it was 7.95€ per hour, 11.95€ for 3 hours, and 19.95€ for full flight.

@@worldtravelfin Thank you, sorry I didn't mean to suggest that access would be free, in fact anything "free" is bad news in principle anyway. That's awesome that Wi Fi is available, I remember the olden days when long haul was totally disjointed from the world in terms of Internet connectivity

@@bubba1984 That's fine, and yes, awesome indeed that there is internet available. Internet access during flights is fairly new. Finnair had WiFi on their long haul flights since 2015 with the new A350 aircraft, but has only recently included WiFi to their short haul Airbus aircraft in 2018 and 2019.

Thanks for your feedback. Up to this point, I have mostly focused on observation rather than review. My biggest priority is improving the video quality and editing, and my goal in the future is to add more information and explanation to make it more entertaining to watch.

@@worldtravelfin I'm starting to do mine soon, I am away in Feb to Helsinki then on to Bangkok as long as Thailand don't close again, as a tip less time looking out the window as this is really not a review, have a look at Josh Cahill for some tips👍

@@malcolmpike999 Thats great to hear, I look forward to seeing it. And yes, thanks for the tip, I'll look more into it in the future.

​@worldtravelfin You're so humble !! And such a nice guy to take that force blunt criticism !! Many would had been offended or more defensive to react !! I agree that it was a bit boring ,to bvh with you ! But,I'll never put that way as he did ! Lol. I am known to be as a brutally honest person !! Lol. I am thinking about ,well ,been thinking of flying to Finland for decades now !! Lol. But,lately more seriously thinking about my trip to visit Finland ! Most likely on Finnair ! Hopefully within the next several years !! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞

The food is good tho

Thank you for your kind comment, I'm glad you liked it!

I agree, Finnair has had better food on their other flights. But I still liked the food on this flight, and am glad that they offered two meals. During covid, some other airlines had switched meals into snacks on their long haul flights.

​@worldtravelfin Yes, I believe after the pandemic lots changed !! The sacrifices on airplane meals is evident. 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞

Thank you for your comment. And great work on your review video! I enjoyed watching it. I have flown HEL-ORD several times before, with Finnair on the A330, and with American Airlines on the Boeing 767. Unfortunately, I didn't take much videos back then. I also miss the days of the MD80 and MD11, I wish I got to experience them more as I was very young at the time.

@@worldtravelfin Very cool, I missed many opportunities as a kid to take cool videos. Just got started this year.

Thanks for great video.

@@worldtravelfin Please tel me, in amenities you received pillow or blanket? Can’t see clearly

@@TheKubusisko14 As part of the amenities, I received a blanket.

Thank you

Yes, there were amazing views throughout the trip.

Thanks

Thank you!

Thank you for your comment and support, sounds like you had a good trip to Korea! Because Finland is so north, Helsinki is great for layovers when traveling between Europe and Asia/North America.

Yes, the snack box (cracker, cranberries, cookie, cheese, almonds) and a drink was given which is a typical complimentary food offering on this flight. It may seem little for a 6 hour flight but there are no actual meals since it is a domestic flight.

Nice to know you too!

Hope next time I could visit USA. I love travelling. You can see my channel.

Yes, the A350 is a nice aircraft! Thanks for watching!

Finnair haves the first A350 planes in the Europe

Kiitos. Kone oli aika tyhjä, oli vain 20 matkustajaa koko lennolla Amerikan matkustusrajoitusten vuoksi.

Thanks!
