There's no denying that it can sometimes be tough to find affordable meals while waiting for your flight. The good news is that Helsinki Airport has quite a few options for hungry passengers watching their wallets.
Alepa (Terminal 2, arrivals hall 2B), for instance, is the place to go if you want to fill up without spending a whole lot. It’s possible to put together a light DIY meal for under €10. Load your grocery basket with a ham & cheese sandwich (€3.95), Valio yogurt (€0.50-0.75), a bottle of Bonaqua (€1.92) and a bar of vegan, Organic Helsinki Chocolate Factory chocolate (€2.95).
Moi! Helsinki (Terminal 2, arrivals hall 2A) offers toasties (€7.90) that, when paired with a small bottle of Coke (€2), should hit the spot nicely. These warm sandwiches are filled with serrano ham and manchego cheese, ham and cheese or goat cheese and sundried tomato.
Ulappa (Terminal 2, Departures hall) has a variety of rye and baguette sandwiches, focaccia and panini (€8.50). If you want to push the boat out a little, they also have fresh salads (€10.30).
Street food fans should head to Richie’s Gourmet Hot Dogs (Terminal 2, arrivals hall 2A-2B), where tasty sausages will only set you back anywhere from €4.50 to €8.80 for a combo.
