Travelling with children

Security control

Helsinki Airport has a security control line especially intended for families with children under 2 years of age. This makes the security control procedure easier and faster for families with children.

It is nevertheless recommended that children are told in advance of what will happen at the airport. Toys, for example, need to be handed over at security control for screening and will be returned immediately after passing the checkpoint.

Playrooms

The playrooms feature toys, pens and paper and videos as well as microwave ovens and baby changing facilities. Playrooms are located near gates 16, 20, 30 and 38. Baby changing facilities can also be found in most washrooms.

Strollers

Some of the airlines allow you to bring your own stroller to the gate area but need to confirm this in advance or latest at check-in. See also tips how to pack your stroller. 

There are also strollers available in the gate area after security control.

Children travelling alone

Please mention the need for special assistance for children travelling alone when booking travel. Ask more information from your airline.
