Visited Finland last week, but not a spotting holiday.Helsinki airport, obviously is mainly Finnair.
We stayed at the hotel Airport Bonus, about 10 minutes from the airport by free shuttle, perfectly nice hotel, only distant views of aircraft taking off.
On 4 0f the days we were there I visited the viewing area, which is a tad disappointing, lots of buildings below you and in front of you which blocks the view to a certain degree.
The viewing are is next to the Finnair building, poorly signposted, I only found it by asking at the tourist information desk in terminal2.
Apart from Finnair I only saw Norwegian, Jet Time, Air Ukraine, Wideroe and distant view of a Japan 787.There is a cargo area to the right which each day contained a DHL and Fed Ex.
To sum up Finland is great to visit but probably not for a spotting holiday.
