Flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th.

Flight 666 to HEL...wasn't that a Stephen King Movie? Or maybe a Spinal Tap single...

Washington Post

Just after the 13th hour on Friday, Oct. 13, Flight 666 took off for HEL — the International Air Transport Association code for Helsinki-Vantaa Airport in Finland — for one last time.

The Finnair flight departed Copenhagen, and landed safely roughly an hour and a half later. Greeting the aircraft, thankfully, were not hellish flames but “partly sunny weather.”

The Helsinki Airport made sure to receive the esteemed flight by having it arrive at gate 26 — double of 13.

Since 2006, Finnair has flown Flight 666 to Helsinki 21 times on Friday the 13th, according to the airline. The airline said it will be changing its flight numbers at the end of the month, and Flight 666 will become Flight 954.
