I had a stopover at Helsinki airport years ago for 23 hours. The Finnair ticket I bought was dirt cheap. I thought 23 hours can't be that bad. Couldn't get a hotel at the airport. Some drivers and cabs outside but it was too far to take me to hotels in the area. I didn't want to wake up in East Bum F**k Finland worrying about missing my departure. So the 23 hours felt like 23 days. I finally crashed in a sweet lounge type chair and slept ok. 1

Only the Europeans were allowed through immigration the first night , anyone else , including the EVA crew , had to sleep in the airport ... also we could only take our hand luggage ... I had no jacket or any other clothes .. it wasn't fun .. 🙂 1
