An amusing story about what happens when you arrive in Finland, without working credit cards. Written by Geoff Ballance.
Does it ever concern you that we are moving more and more to a cashless society? When my girlfriend (GF) went to Finland this past summer, she landed at the Helsinki airport, collected her luggage and made her way to the train.
Now according to the VR website, you can get to the Helsinki Airport with just one train ticket from anywhere in Finland. From the airport’s railway station, you can easily walk to either of the airport’s terminals without ever needing to go outside. But and this is a big but, the one thing that it not clear, is that while there is a vending machine to get your ticket, the machine only accepts credit cards. Cash is not an option.
