Scariest Sounding Airline Flight’¦Ever

Last Friday, January 13^th, Finnair flight AY666 flew from CPH (Copenhagen) to HEL (Helsinki). The flight landed safely. No incidents, accidents, or unusual happenings were reported! So why is it news?

Superstition is a funny thing. It changes with each country and culture. Even so, the date, flight number, and destination of Finnair's trip hit a good number of unlucky and religiously significant combinations for a lot of potential passengers. While some airlines actively avoid circumstances that might cause passengers these kinds of concerns, not much is going to stop Finnair from completing their daily flight -- always AY666 -- to Helsinki. They certainly won't switch it up just because of the date.

This isn't the first time they've done this -- they do have a daily flight 666 to HEL after all -- and it probably won't be the last. Besides, it sounds like the Finnair flight crew thinks it's all pretty funny. "It has been quite a joke among the pilots," pilotJuha-Pekka Keidasto said after a previous Friday the 13^th run to HEL. "I'm not a superstitious man. It's only a coincidence for me." He also added that, "If there's some passenger who is anxious about this 666, our cabin crew is always happy to help them."

So! would you go?
