Hello All,

We are planning a trip to the following destinations.

1- Greece (Santorini)
2- Switzerland

Can someone please suggest me know which is the easiest and economical way to travel to these places?
Which airline I should prefer?

Thanks.

For Amsterdam I think SAS is the cheapest.

Hi!
What an exotic round-trip in Europe via all those destinations if I understood your question correctly. Right?
- - If you really want to do all of these destinations in one week, it can be done. However, is it clever - it's up to yourselves to decide.

From Helsinki to Santorini in April it's Norwegian via Gatwick, UK - or SAS via Stockholm - price around 400 e/person.
From Santorini to Zurich you can fly via Athens, but need to stay overnight there. Another way is to take ferry to Athens and fly from there to Zurich. (A cheap flight from Santornin to Athens (stay overnight) and continuation via Belgrade seems to be available ca 230 e/person)
Zurich to Amsterdam - check cheap flights depending on the day.
Amsterdam to Helsinki e.g. Norwegian via Stockholm 114 e or Airbaltic via Riga 162 e.

Hey, this is "Living in Finland", not "Leaving Finland"

Anyway, since between the places you mentioned there's quite a bit of distance, flights are the way to go. Just take a look at those flight price comparison sites like momondo.fi or http://www.tripadvisor.com/CheapFlightsHome

You can also go through Germany typically Frankfurt or Munich, and then take Aegean: http://en.aegeanair.com/ from there to Santorini. The one-way flights from Germany in the end of April are around low 200s to low 300s per person. And you still need to get to Germany somehow (Lufthansa cooperates with Aegean FWIW), so it can get a bit expensive, but it's also an option at least in terms of comfort.
