The Complete Guide to Flying to Lapland and Arctic Lakeland from Europe – How to Reach Arctic Boutique Collection Resorts

Direct Flights to Finnish Lapland and Arctic Lakeland: How to Easily Reach Arctic Boutique Collection Properties

Reaching Finnish Lapland and Arctic Lakeland has entered a new era. As interest in the Arctic deepens year after year, airlines across Europe are steadily adding new direct connections to meet the growing demand. Finavia has invested about 3 million euros in enlarging the Rovaniemi airport facilities to accommodate increasing passenger numbers. What was once a far-flung dream destination is now linked to major European cities by winter routes designed specifically for travellers seeking northern lights, pristine nature, and the quiet luxury of Arctic hospitality.

This rise in connections is matched by how effortlessly travellers can reach Northern Finland’s most distinctive boutique accommodations. Each property offers transfers from its closest airport, and often from Rovaniemi as well, thanks to its strong flight network, making the final leg of the journey smooth and stress-free.  Halo Igloos and Beana Laponia sit within easy reach of Rovaniemi Airport; Arctic Nook is ideally located near Kittilä; Rukan Salonki welcomes guests flying into Kuusamo; and Hotel Kalevala is conveniently connected through Kajaani. Hotel Kalevala is able to offer transfers from Oulu and Kuopio as well.

In Lapland, the journey north is part of the story, and today, beginning that story has become more seamless than ever.
