Ticket purchase and change:

On this trip, buying tickets and changing them is a priority
During the visa process, you are advised to use the VR Matkalla App or book a ticket directly from VR's official website. The App is available for buying seats, while the official website is more flexible with a choice of sleeper type and location 😃

Revision fee: If there is a need to change, whether it is a seat or a sleeper, the fee is 5💰 euros per change (🆘 A sleeper change requires the modification of the entire bed order).


Train environment and service

❶ Seating options include ✔️ four-seater berth, ✔️ pet-friendly private berth and ✔️ private two-seater berth

Luggage: Standard 28-inch luggage can be easily placed under the bed, and there are toilets and showers on board

Comfort feeling: The bedside design is intimate, providing mineral water and side net to facilitate the storage of goods. (On the whole, the VR train has a high level of comfort 😃)

Train delays and compensation

Compensation application process: After receiving the confirmation email, the compensation will arrive in 1-2 weeks. (IBAN account information is required ️)

Matters needing attention

To ensure your journey goes smoothly, here are some additional tips:
✔️ Signal and soundproofing: WiFi is available on trains, but the signal may be unreliable. The sound insulation effect is general, and passengers who have requirements for sleep quality may need to pay attention.

✔️ comfortable sleep: if you choose a late train, such as the 23:13 train, you can simply wash and rest on the train, you do not have to rush to get up the next day, more relaxed to start the day.

The above tips will help you fully prepare to make your VR Aurora Train trip a highlight of your trip to Finland. Wish you a pleasant journey!

fazer Chocolate!! Blueberry flavor is definitely deserved, must take the list first, but now the weather is a little hot. Some supermarkets will have activities for chocolate, what 4 boards 10 euros, but there is no discount for blueberry flavor.

LV is really a great buy... (Only in Helsinki!) carryall goods are really complete, but I did not want to buy black, but the price also consider what do not have to worry about tax refund trouble, super easy! I checked out at Amsterdam Airport in the Netherlands, and haigaun stamped me without looking at the real thing

fazer's fudge is not only chocolate, but also fudge, and the green pear flavor is widely praised. Lumene cream can be bought at minibar or on a cruise from Hull to Estonia (both at beautiful prices). Morning and night creams add up to around €27.

The fish oil can go Tokmanni, the juice is innocent and you can't take it with you. It's a nice cookie, but it's just so-so. Nut, peanut and raisin mix, Moomin-related "surrounding" is super cute ~ tea, pendants, refrigerator magnets...
