Both Finnair, the national airline, and SAS operate scheduled flights to Helsinki from all over Europe and many cities throughout North America and Asia, while many other international airlines also fly to Finland. Average flight times to Helsinki are 3 hours from London and 8 hours from New York.

There are a number of road crossings into Finland from Sweden, Norway and Russia. There are also direct rail services from Russia, but none from Sweden or Norway as these countries have different rail gauges to Finland.
