private transfer from kittila airport to levi
Save

hi

this feb we are thinking about taking flight only with inghams and staying in the new panorama hotel on the front slope. in taking flight only can anyone advise if the've ever got a taxi to levi, if so how much was it and did you book beforehand. also do you know if inghams will sell you a transfer on the coach to levi? weve got a price of a taxi which is approx 140 euro return which i think is steep given its just 15 mins away. !

any answers or suggestions please ?!

thanks

Hi

The best thing to do when you land is to exit the airport and take the airport bus (it will be waiting) and take the bus to levi and the bus will take you straight to the hotel for 7 euros each (each way). Very easy they make the Panorama one of the drops. We have just come back from the Crazy Reindeer Hotel and visited the Panorama which looked much nicer.

Great Place enjoy

140 € for the taxi is a robbery. I remember having paid 30-40 €/direction for a minivan taxi for five of us. Taking a normal taxi directly from the airport should cost maybe 25€/direction. You could inquire the availability directly from the taxi center:

http://www.finavia.fi/airports/airport_kittila?pg=1091673

and the link also contains information about the bus connections. I am not sure whether there is a scheduled bus connection from the charter flights.

The airport bus is operated only from/to scheduled domestic flights. You can check the timetable at http://tunturilinjat.fi/fi/index.php?os=2&ao=4&sivu=4 if it happens to coincide with your charter flight. The bus will call at Hotel Panorama upon advance request (on the way to Levi you can simply ask the driver to drop you off there).

thanks all. sadly the flights dont match at all with the bus timetable. we even wondered about hiring a car from the airport as a cheaper option. weve been coming to Levi since 2005 but always with a tour operator. we know it well and want to go it alone but i really dont want to pay 140 euro to get there and back. I may contact the hotel direct and see if they can get a better price or different company. thanks again

€140 for a taxi - no way - we paid about €30 a few years back

140 euro's really is a crazy price. Especially for about 12 miles travelling, unless a gallon of petrol is 5 times as high as the UK ;-)

Seriously though, no way would I pay that for a 15 min journey. In the UK this December, we paid the taxi driver £14 for a 20 minute trip to Manchester Airport, and was happy to give him £20 for his honesty including a tip.

We too have been going to Levi since 2005, and it seems Inghams this year (Dec 2011) won't be offering the two week holiday we usually book over Xmas, and New Year, and 8 days is not long enough for us, so we may be doing similar to yourself and booking direct, and will have to make our own transfer from the airport.

I will be interested in what you find, and likewise, if I find anything out, I will let you know.

We went down the front slope this year, the main red slope, and seen the hotel next to us at the top, looks very nice!

I don't know where you came up with the idea of 140€.

Taxi prices are:

Initial charge: 5,10 Eur or nights/sundays 8,00 Eur.

Per km:

(1-2 pers) 1,33 Eur/km

(3-4 pers) 1,60 Eur/km

(5-6 pers) 1,73 Eur/km

(7-8 pers) 1,87 Eur/km

It's about 15 kms, so for 4 persons it's 30 € give or take few Euros.

sounds like someone is trying to rip of a innocent tourist unfortunately. Just arrive at the airport and you wont pay anything near that price.

Yes there are, but most likely they are all charter flights, so they can be booked only through the tour operators who have chartered the plane.

E.g. Inghams sells flight-only packages to Kittilä from Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester. See here: http://www.inghams.co.uk/flight-only/
