Now boarding all seats for flight 666 to Helsinki; is what some passengers heard as they started to board their flight. Would you want to board a flight that had the call sign 666 and the destination letters HEL? How supersitious are you and would you change your flight or take a chance?
The flight was almost full from Copenhagen to Helsinki and no one minded the flight.
"It has been quite a joke among the pilots" said veteran Finnair pilot 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 flight will have two flights that land on Friday the 13th during 2013.
"Less than 100 years ago, the number 13 did not have this sinister meaning; it's quite recent in the north," said Ulo Valk, professor of comparative folklore at the University of Tartu in Estonia.
So if you came a across a flight that like this would you still go on it or would you temp fate?
