Cheap Flights To Helsinki From USA

Helsinki is an historic and handsome gateway to the northernmost reaches of Europe. It spreads across fragments of islets and little headlands that poke into the chilly Baltic Sea, meaning every street and square and design workshop (there are oodles of those) comes bathed in salty breezes. Highlights you won't want to miss include the formidable Suomenlinna fortress – a UNESCO site that was once protection against Russian invasions – and stunning Senate Square – topped with its domed cathedral and state offices. If you're lucky, you'll score cheap flights to Helsinki from USA on one of the direct links that go from cities like LA and New York on airlines like Finnair. If not, there are loads of other options, which might include a layover, but often cost considerably less.
