It may be worth noting that if your destination is not in the city centre nor along the rail line, you can still transfer with the same ticket to other methods of public transport, such as trams and the metro.

Thank for the video ! Going there for the first time next week for Metallica !

The train is the smart choice in Helsinki. I always go by train to the airport. Things to know though. It does not matter on what side of the Helsinki Airport station platform you jump on a train, even if they go in opposite directions. It's a circle line, and both end up in the center of Helsinki. According to what I saw on the map on your phone, you took a train that goes to the city (southwards) along the western side. That side has a few more stops, and takes a bit longer to get to the center. It ends up on the western side of the main train station, while the other one ends up on the eastern side. Both are reasonably quick though. If you want to travel elsewhere than the center of Helsinki when arriving through the airport, you might want to look up which train you take. If your destination is north, like the city of Tampere, you might want to take the eastern route and jump off at Tikkurila train station, which is quite close to the airport. At that station you can change to a passenger train that goes north. If you're going to the city of Turku, then the western side if preferable. In that case you jump off at Huopalahti station, get on the next local train to Leppävaara in Espoo, and change to a passenger train there. You need a different ticket for the passenger trains. The HSL-ticket for the ABC-area is viable for 90 minutes, so you can change to any HSL-transport (local train, tram, bus, certain ferry connections) within that area during those 90 minutes. Be aware that if you later only move around in the general Helsinki area, then a AB-ticket is usually enough, but it's valid for 80 minutes. It costs only 2,80 € though. If unsure and not in a hurry, just go to the center and sort it out there.

Really enjoyed this quick & insightful guide into transportation to the capital. Great to hear you passed through passport control & look forward to insights in Finland. Hibb 👍🏼

There used to be two terminals at the airport. These days there's only one.

Excellenr video, thank you so much! In April we are travelling to Helsinki with a toddler. May I ask you if there are any elevators what we can use on the way to the underground railway station? In advance thank you so much for your answer.
