I almost hesitate to post this thread for fear of Jinxing it. We first started to plan a trip to Kittilä for February 2021 but the pandemic scotched that for us. We rescheduled it for 2022 but the airline cancelled our flights at the last minute so that was a bust too and we ended up having a...

Our trip to Finland has just been trashed by Finnair cutting their timetable by 20% so there may be a bunch of us joining you to distract ourselves from our disappointment. We're discussing it tonight.

Doesn't come across as aggressive at all and it is something that I do give thought to. My intention is to bring it back but I pack so close to the flight weight allowance that is not always possible. Airport waste bins are full of things that get dumped for the same reason. Losing an...
