Flights near TREX Workshop 2014
This page lists all the ways to get to Tampere using different airline alliances and trains.
Star Alliance has direct flights from Stockholm (ARN) or Copenhagen (CPH) to the Tampere-Pirkkala International Airport (TMP). At least Ryanair also has some direct international flights from other countries at cheaper prices. Bus number 61 or 1L takes you from TMP to Tampere city centre. Or you can also just take a taxi to your hotel.
Flying via Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport (HEL) to TMP is also possible, but it might be easier to just take the train for that leg of the journey. The trains run every day at least once per hour between 06:00 and 22:00. Bus number 61 takes you from HEL to the Tikkurila Railway Station every 20 minutes, or you can just get a taxi there. Do not be tempted to take a taxi from HEL to Tampere, because it will cost several hundred Euros.
Getting from Seattle to Tampere
As NANOG 61 takes place in Bellevue, Washington on the week before TREX Workshop 2014, many of our potential visitors will be wondering if it's possible to include both events in their travel plans. We've compiled a sampling of the best flight options for getting from the Seattle to Tampere below. By far the fastest and least expensive route goes via Iceland (KEFlavik), but it's operated by Iceland Air, which is not part of any alliance and may thus not be suitable for people trying to rack up air miles for a particular airline or alliance.
Star Alliance flights are drawn in red and One World flights are drawn in blue. The flights between HEL and TMP are operated by Flybe and can be included in flight plans for both alliances. If the layover at HEL is more than two hours then it may be more convenient to take the train to Tampere.
