Airport Guide
Compare 4 airports near Joensuu
For the vast majority of travelers, Joensuu Airport (JOE) is the clear and most practical choice. Located within the city itself, it is the only airport serving Joensuu directly and offers the most efficient transit. The remaining options are located in neighboring cities and serve as regional alternatives for those willing to travel significant distances. Savonlinna Airport (SVL) serves the city of Savonlinna and requires a multi-hour rail or road journey. Similarly, Kuopio Airport (KUO), located in the city of Kuopio, and Lappeenranta Airport (LPP), situated in Lappeenranta, are much farther out. These three regional hubs are not in Joensuu and only make sense if you are already touring those regions or find significantly better flight deals. For the best balance of speed, cost, and convenience, we recommend using the local airport in Joensuu and taking advantage of the regular bus or taxi services available directly outside the terminal. Always check local public transport websites for the latest schedules before departing.

The apartment is so nice but after the the booking it is hotel responsibility to contact to the customer and tell the way of check in but they did not contact to me.
