Yes, just go to doctor day before to check if YOU don't have it. I don't think the swine flu has arrived to Finland.

The Who has not posted any restrictions against travel yet.

you are more likely to catch a cold from the other people on the plane than you are swine flu....there is a lot of hype about this and unless you have other immunity problems you really have nothing to worry about( the people that have died have all had immunity issues BEFORE catching flu and probably would have died had they caught regular flu)....it's just a new strain of flu....not bubonic plague...
take some multi-vitamins or a supplement before going on the plane..

I think it's hundred times more possible to get that flu from India than from Finland.......

Finland is one of the safest countries in the world with an amazing health care system. So yeah, it's safe. And even if you somehow get it, there is no better place to get the treatment for it than Finland
Have a nice trip!

According to the media there's been only a few swine flu suspicions and the people were isolated and the tests came out negative.
You should remember that viruses have good opportunities to spread in large groups of people, in planes, trains, public places and so on.
Nowadays people travel a lot and so do the viruses so nobody can give you 100% sure answer on this.
Just relax! Finland is a sterile country.
