Helsinki Airport (HEL) is in Vantaa, Finland. It is also known by the former name, Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. By far the busiest airport in Finland, in addition to serving the capital Helsinki and as the hub for flights in the country, it is also an important transit gateway for international traffic.

Full-service hotel right next to the airport, opened in late 2007. Soundproof windows, bar, restaurant, sauna.
Walk — this airport is not so large that buses or rail transport would be needed, and the formerly separate terminals are now fully integrated.
