What is one natural phenomenon on your travel bucket list? I still want to experience the midnight sun, and that goal might be easier than ever to attain.

Following a successful launch last summer, Finnair recently relaunched its popular route to Bodø, Norway. The route from Helsinki is the only scheduled international flight to the Norwegian city, with Finnair continually working to reinforce its Nordic network.

Flights to Bodø operate five times weekly through Aug. 12, an increase from the three weekly flights offered last summer. In Bodø, travelers can experience the phenomenon of the midnight sun, in which the sun never sets. Located in the Arctic Circle, the city offers beauty and nature, being named a European Capital of Culture in 2024.

U.S. travelers can reach Bodø with one stop in Helsinki via short, seamless connections. Finnair serves six North American gateways including Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), New York (JFK) and Seattle (SEA).

Indulge in Luxurious Wellness at Spa Montage Healdsburg

At Montage Healdsburg, amid a hilly patchwork of grapevines, rosemary bushes, scrub oaks and eucalyptus, my day starts with a swim in the resort’s immense pool. Positioned 20 feet above the terrain, it seems to float above the surrounding vineyards. It’s dark when I start my strokes, but by the time I finish, a veil of amber light begins to illuminate the landscape. The sun’s rays spill into the rows of fat grapes, fusing with snippets of fog for a swirling effect. I hop out of the water to drink it all in, suddenly reminded of the night before, the way I swirled the resort’s own house-made wine in my glass, sniffing and (gratefully) quaffing it.
