Most Expensive Times to Fly to Finland

These are the periods when airfare tends to spike due to high demand, major events, or peak tourism.

June to August (Summer Peak):
This is the time with the best weather and longest daylight—ideal for tourism across Finland’s cities, lakes and the far‑north. Airfare from the U.S. shows average round‑trip prices around US $1,147 in June and US $1,024 in July, making this one of the priciest windows.
Late December to Early January (Christmas & New Year Holidays):
Finland draws a surge of travellers during the holiday season—especially those heading to Lapland for snow, Northern Lights and winter‑activities. Flights into Helsinki (and onward to snowy northern destinations) tend to reach premium pricing.
February to March (Winter / Ski & Northern‑Lights Season):
For travellers targeting snow‑adventures, ski resorts or aurora tours in northern Finland, demand drives fares up during this window. While city stays might not always hit peak rates, high‑season flights to remote winter destinations do.
Major Baltic / Nordic Event Weeks & School‑Holiday Windows:
When schools break and major events or festivals are on in Finland, flights often climb. Even if the broader season is moderate, a spike in departures around specific weeks can inflate prices.

If value is your priority, these windows offer lower airfares thanks to fewer travellers and softer demand—though you’ll likely accept some trade‑offs (weather, daylight, service options).

October (Autumn Shoulder) through Early November:
After the summer rush but before the holiday season builds, flights to Finland tend to drop. According to historical data, October shows significantly lower median fares (e.g., average of US $388 from the U.S.).
Late March to Early May (Spring Shoulder):
After the winter‑sports season and before full summer tourism kicks in, this period offers some of the best rates. You’ll still get city‑break quality travel, though northern outdoor options may be reduced.
January to February (Post‑Holiday Lull):
Leaving the Christmas/New Year peak behind, the early part of the year offers lower fares—especially for urban destinations like Helsinki rather than remote winter‑resort flights.
