[h=1]Friday 13th travellers take chance on flight 666 to HEL[/h]
Would you board flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th? For superstitious travellers, that might be tempting fate. But Finnair passengers on AY666 to Helsinki apparently were not too bothered. Friday's flight was almost full.
"It has been quite a joke among the pilots," said Juha-Pekka Keidasto, who will fly the Airbus A320 from Copenhagen to Helsinki. "I'm not a superstitious man. It's only a coincidence for me."
The daily flight AY666 from Copenhagen to Helsinki falls on Friday the 13th twice in 2013. Friday the 13th is considered bad luck in many countries and the number 666 also has strong negative biblical associations.
I'm not superstitious, but even so . . . I think I'd walk:
Row 13 anyone?[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR]
Only if I can a window seat, I want to the see the gremlin on the wing.

Only if I can have my umbrella open, with a cracked tv screen watching Friday the 13th, have a ladder in the overhead locker and have my salt knocked over on the tray.

No Black Cat firecrackers on your flight?
Baggage limit.
I'm amazed that Iron Maiden wasn't all over this. They have a song about 666, they have an airplane that their singer flies and released a DVD called Flight 666, and they play Helsinki a lot. This whole situation just screams Maiden...
