I connected here on my way from Heathrow (LHR) to Vaasa, Finland (VAA) in the mid-to-late 1990s. My strongest memory from the time is that the phones were unbelievably expensive and difficult to use (I couldn't get to the toll-free Canada Direct number). Finland was a huge contrast at the time, since they'd already deregulated, and phone calls were even cheaper and easier than in Canada.
