FINNAIR passengers are on Flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th

Finnair passengers travelling from Copenhagen to Helsinki this afternoon would do well not to believe in superstition.

The airline is flying its iconic Flight 666 to HEL, the acronym for Helsinki Airport.

If this pairing wasn’t spooky enough, they’re also doing it on Friday the 13th, deemed the “unluckiest day of the year” by sorcerous circles.

The flight departed Copenhagen’s Terminal 2 at 1.20pm, due to arrive in HEL promptly at 3.55pm.

To make matters even more significant, it will be the final time the journey is flown.
