P train via TikkurilaorTrunk bus 600?

From

Lentoasema station beneath the terminal, platform 1 — lifts and escalators from both arrivals and departures

To

Helsinki Central Station in 29 minutes, via Tikkurila (9 min) and Pasila (24 min)

Luggage

A commuter train with open floor space by the doors; no racks, no hold.

Runs

04:52–01:22

Journey

29 min

You need an ABC ticket. The AB ticket that covers Helsinki does not reach the airport, which is in zone C, and there is no single-zone ticket to add.

Buy it on the HSL app for EUR 4.50. The ticket machine on the platform and the contactless reader both charge EUR 4.80 for the same ticket.

This is the faster of the two trains from the airport: 29 minutes against the I train's 34. HSL's visitor page quotes the I at 27 minutes, but that is the time from the city to the airport.

The last train is 01:22 on most nights and the first 04:52; between them bus 600 runs from in front of the terminal on the same ticket.

Have the ticket on your phone before you board. HSL's penalty fare is EUR 100 plus a single.

This is the night answer. Between the last train at 01:22 (02:22 at weekends) and the first at 04:52 it is the way into the city, every 20 to 30 minutes, for the same EUR 4.50.

By day it is slower than either train: HSL's timetable gives 51 to 66 minutes against Finavia's "approximately 40", which is the night running time.

It stops for 28 minutes on weekday mornings (03:54 to 04:22) and about an hour on Saturday and Sunday mornings (03:54 to about 05:00).

It ends at Rautatientori, the bus square beside the station, not inside it; for Pasila take a train.

The ABC ticket again — the bus crosses the same zone boundary as the train.
