Finnair and Finnish railway operator VR started cooperation offering combined air-and-rail tickets between Saint Petersburg and international destinations connecting via Helsinki. Finnair began selling the combined tickets on 1st October 2014, and the first Allegro train connection with AY code will occur on 1st December 2014.
Combined tickets will enable customers flying throughout Finnair’s network in Europe, Asia and North America to connect to and from Saint Petersburg on the high-speed Allegro train, which takes 3 hours and 36 minutes between Helsinki’s Central Railway Station and Saint Petersburg’s Finland Station. Passport and customs procedures are carried out on board the train while en route, saving customers’ time. In mid-2015 a rail link from Tikkurila Station to Helsinki Airport will be completed, making possible a seamless transfer from the Allegro train straight to the airport.
