Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Passport.
  • Computer with Internet access to book reservations.

Book Your Tickets on Blue1

Step1
Contact the airline directly or book travel online through their Web site (see Resources below).
Step2
Save money when you book for the whole family. Look for discounts for children under age 13. Blue1 generally offers a 33 percent discount for children as compared to the standard adult fare.
Step3
Consider booking Business Class or Economy Flex ticket through Blue1. These types of tickets will allow you to make changes in your itinerary free of charge.
Step4
Book your tickets with your credit card (for example, Mastercard, VISA, American Express or Diner's Club). The card will be charged when they issue the ticket.
Step5
Know that you will not receive a paper ticket in the mail. When you book online, you will receive a confirmation and paperless ticket via email.
Step6
Seek answers to your questions online. Even though Blue1 is very accessible for North American travelers, it does not specifically cater to Americans and calling them directly may not be productive. There is a thorough list of Frequently Asked Questions on the Web site.
Step7
Compare and save. Blue1 airfares are typically among the most competitive in Finland and around Europe. You will save money over more internationally known airlines by flying with them.

Prepare for Your Trip

Step1
Pack appropriately for your trip--and the airline. The limit for checked baggage is 20KG (about 45 lbs). Make sure you don't take on more than the limit.
Step2
Budget your time well. Plan to arrive at the Helsinki airport 45 minutes to an hour before your flight. If are you flying Business Class, you may need to arrive only 35 minutes before your flight.

Tips & Warnings

  • Remember that European travel is very punctual. Be on time.
  • This airline is tailored for European business travel and leisure travel, but it is also very accessible for American tourists who want to travel in, to and from Finland.
  • Always be sure to convert Finland's currency into dollars so you don't miscalculate your vacation budget.
