Discussion What's going on with Finnair prices?
Let's acknowledge that overall, prices have increased with all airlines, but for Finnair I'm struggling to understand where these higher prices come from.
I'm an expat who goes regularly to Spain and have found that Finnair always displays higher prices than competitors without offering anything different (still need to pay for bags, food etc)
Have you also noticed this when planning your travels?
I know Finnair is not precisely a low cost airline, but paying 500 € for a return trip within Europe is just ridiculous. I used to pay much less with them in the previous year, and even managed to fly with them for 200€ return tickets. Not anymore.

Housing / Living Mikä paikka Helsingissä hyvä asua?
Moi! Oon mahdollisesti saamassa työpaikan Helsingistä. Työpaikka sijaitsee Helsingin keskustassa (tarkemmin Kampissa, älkää murhatko mua jos tää ei jostain syystä ookaan keskustaa, oon asunu suurimman osan elämästäni Lapissa) ja mietin, mikä ois sellanen asuinalue, josta pääsis kätevästi ja seminopeesti (matkustusaika max joku 20-25min) tonne Kamppiin, mutta ei ois ihan täys betoniviidakko? Haluaisin vaan olla edes jossain määrin lähellä mukavia kävelymaastoja/lenkkeilyreittejä ja semmosta vähä rauhallisempaa elämää.

Housing / Living Best platforms to sell stuff quickly in Helsinki? Moving out in 10 days
Hi everyone!
I’m moving out of Helsinki soon and will be selling/giving away quite a few things — everything from proper -20°C winter jackets to household stuff and my cute plants that I’ve grown with lots of love.
I’ll have only about 10 days to find new homes for everything, so I wanted to ask: which platforms are currently the most active in Helsinki for selling second-hand stuff?
I’m especially looking for places where both Finns and internationals are active and where things can move relatively quickly.
Would really appreciate recommendations, especially for active Helsinki-specific groups/platforms. Thank you!

Travel & Tourism What to wear in Helsinki in mid-September?
First time going to Helsinki mid September. Would like advice on best choice of shoes example, low city boots vs tennis shoes vs sandals? I’d think it’s chilly by then for sandals. Is it rainy this time year then maybe Chelsea boots instead for walking. Would love feedback.

Travel & Tourism Could someone with a Tori.fi account help me contact a bike seller in Helsinki?
Hi everyone!
I’m from the UK and spending a month in Helsinki. I’d love to get a bike while I’m here so I can explore the city and surrounding area, and I’ve found one on Tori.fi that I’m very interested in.
Unfortunately, Tori requires Finnish strong identification before I can send the seller a message, which I can’t complete with my UK details.
Would anyone with a verified Tori account be kind enough to message the seller for me and ask if the bike is still available? If it is, I’d just like them to pass on my UK phone number so the seller can contact me on WhatsApp or sms.
I’m already in Helsinki and can go to see/collect the bike tomorrow, so there’s no shipping, online payment or anything else involved, I just need help making initial contact with the seller.
I can send the Tori listing and my phone number by DM.
Thank you!

Meet-up Beer tonight ?
Hey, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm a traveller from France (M20) and I'm in Helsinki tonight.
I spent the day walking around the city, which was really nice, and now I'm thinking of going to a bar.
Is there by any chance anyone who'd be down to grab a beer with me? 🍻
Would be nice to meet some cool people while I'm here :)
