"The Northern Lights are truly one of the must-see astronomical phenomena in life, and the awe you feel when witnessing them firsthand is an unforgettable experience." This year marks a peak period for the Northern Lights, with the best viewing time in the Northern Hemisphere from the end of August to the end of April next year. The direct flights to Finland introduced this time are perfectly timed.
Finnair doesn’t offer big promotions very often, and even with connecting flights, ticket prices from Hong Kong to Finland usually start from $7,000 or more. But this time, the round-trip fare including taxes is less than $5000 — a rare opportunity indeed!
