If you are hoping to see the Northern Lights then you’ll need to book your flights to Finland either around September and October or March and April, that said you’ll find cheap flights to Finland even more difficult to find as tourists flock to the country for the best views of the spectacle.
Off season:
The winter is the quietest time of the year as the country is shrouded in darkness for much of it. You’ll definitely find the cheapest flights to Finland then, with the exception of December as Christmas brings many tourists looking for Santa. The winter months also has much better offers on accommodation so it’s worth considering if you want to make a saving. The benefit of the darkness is also that you’ll be able to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights much more easily.
