Travel Information
I guess that some of you are worried about the long travel days and catching the train from Helsinki to Lapua. Please check the train connections from Helsinki airport to Seinäjoki as well. We will definitely organize pick-ups from Seinäjoki for all who cannot find a suitable connection to Lapua or would have to wait for a long time in Seinäjoki for the train to Lapua. Its only 25-30 minutes from Lapua to Seinäjoki by car. We are preparing a registration form on which you can specifically state the need for a pick-up from Seinäjoki.
We will also organise for drop-offs to Seinäjoki on returning dates.
Please note: They do not sell tickets aboard the local trains (the train you’ll take from the airport to tikkurila). You can buy a ticket from the ticket machines located on the platforms and inside the airport. If the train from tikkurila to seinäjoki is not fully booked you can buy the ticket all the way to Seinäjoki. If there are no more seats available on the train from Tikkurila to Seinäjoki (this happens especially on evening trains), then buy a local train ticket from the airport to tikkurila. In Tikkurila Jump on the next train to Seinäjoki and make your way to the restaurant car. You can buy a ticket on the long distance trains. (strange isn’t it, that some trains sell tickets while others don’t.)
