Saddle up your reindeer, and keep your eyes peeled for the northern lights: You're about to fly the Finnish skies with Finnair USA. This Helsinki-based airline might not technically employ Rudolph to guide its sleighs – otherwise known as airplanes – but there's still plenty of Arctic Circle awesomeness to go around. First of all, this carrier is the world's fifth oldest, and that means Santa Claus might've started his career there. Secondly, it's among the safest airlines on the planet, so you can take Finnair flights to more than 100 international destinations in Asia, Europe, and North America without freaking out at the mere mention of turbulence. Just close your eyes and think of beautiful Finland. Hey, is that the aurora borealis?
Finnair Plus
We're suckers for anything with a plus in the name, but this frequent-flyer program lives up to the hype. Even the Helsinki hipsters would be impressed; not only do the basic tiers get access to perks like virtual check-in services, exclusive help lines, and priority security lanes, but the upper echelon of earners can also flex their status with Finnair business-class upgrades, mile bonuses, and extra baggage allowances. As if that's not enough, the program has a special tier just for kids between the ages of 12 and 18: Finnair Plus Junior. Finally, your daughter can use her mile balance to score that Angry Birds mug she's been bugging you about for months. Let us all rejoice.
We'd Move Glaciers For You
We mean that metaphorically. Have you seen those things up close? They're huge. Still, if anything could get a towering pile of ice to budge, it'd be power of the cheap flights, first-class deals, and discount offers at Flights.com. Use our personalized recommendations and exclusive specials to book your Finnair Airlines reservations, and you'll see what we're blabbering about. Just try not to be disappointed if we can't get Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen to come along for the ride. Finland may be just a stone's throw from their home base, but those reindeer are booked months in advance. Blitzen sends his apologies.
