Connections to the USA are via Helsinki and New York or Los Angeles. A shuttle bus to the main hotels and the city centre meets all flights. Taxis are also available. The airport was fully renovated and improved at the end of 1999. Express services run only in the high season.
Travel is slower than by bus.
Children up to 7 years may travel free if accompanied by an adult and not taking a separate seat. There are direct routes along the Baltic coast into Latvia, Lithuania and Kaliningrad, and also east into the Russian Federation.
