Every year about 400.000 people are coming by plane to visit the city of Santa Claus and Lordi. The airport is the fifth busiest Finnish airport (2012), and looks like a countryside airport. Some mini vans are waiting for the passengers to drive them to the main hotels in the city center located at 5 km. The single ticket costs 7€.
But there is a way to save money. Just wait (if it's not too long) for the city bus number 8 that goes to the Santa Claus village and Santa Park. The trip lasts 30 minutes to the railway station that is the end station, but only costs 3.90€ (2€ for children). The bus will drive through residential area and it is a good way to look where local people live.
Usually, you should be 2 hours before the take-off at the airport. What is true for an international airport, is not necessarily for a domestic airport. You just have to be there 30 minutes in advance.
