Adz of CCAA Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I, too, sent an email to join the tour. Because I want to be with you guys, I asked to join the English language tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz of CCAA Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Got my reply. I'm in! Also. If you send them an email best include your member number. It makes it much easier for the guys organizing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The Suomenlinna tour does sound interesting, but since I'm unable to get there before Thursday I won't be able to go on it. I'll probably try to visit it after the con, maybe on the Monday or Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LugaJetboyGirl Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Seriously, why is it so hard to get flights from Athens to Helsinki?? Everything takes like 14 hours. I've tried all the major travel websites. Do any of you Euro folks have any ideas for the best airline to use (that is reasonably inexpensive)?

SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 This year I've flown with Lufthansa; for Archipelacon I flew with FinnAir, and both are reasonably priced, though I am flying into/out of UK rather than Greece. Have you tried a flight into Tallinn, Estonia? Ferries into Helsinki seem reasonably priced and don't take that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I am flying with Finnair. *** Anyway, I saw some questions about t-shirts here already ... will there be t-shirts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adz of CCAA Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'm flying from Düsseldorf to Helsinki with Finn-Air. Norwegian Air International and others have flights from Athens to Helsinki for more or less reasonable prices. But, as you've said. A lot of these flights take ages. Or they cost a lot of money. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Miss Sunshine Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 For those who can handles multiple flights (ie. don't have fucked up ears like I do), you can always go to Estonia and take the ferry or another flight / go to Poland with LOT airlines and take a connection flight / same thing with Sweden or Denmark. I'm so exciting to see several of you again and meet others for the first time. It has been too long since London 2014 or TitanCon 2012 (NEXT YEAR, I PROMISE! NEXT YEAR FOR SURE!).

Pebble thats Stubby Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 The real+ Mr Pebble and I will be going on Wednesdays Suomenlinna Fortress tour. I have been reassured that even if we mis the first ferry back we will be in Helsinki before 11:30 Which gives the real Mr Pebble plenty of time, we may even be able to share a spot of lunch together before he has to head off and catch his plane home. + I have been informed that there may be a Fake Mr Pebble attending Worldcon this year. Do not be fooled if you meet him, one has far more hair than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look at this at work. Surprisingly few flights to Helsinki from Athens. Not sure why the Finns don't like Athens! Norwegian flies once a week on a Saturday and Aegean flies twice a week on a Monday and Friday. The cheapest option (that doesn't take forever) seems to be KLM on skyscanner.com or kayak.com. Still 7 hours but given it isn't in the right direction, not that bad really. And there is only 1 direct flight a week to Tallinn from Athens (Friday with Aegean). Otherwise, i'm having a look at that tour also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
