Detroit and Minneapolis are both Northwest hubs, therefore cheap tickets between them.Throttle said:
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Credit cards like Amex, rewards points, anyone take advantage of that?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

for cheap domestic tickets I always use Farecast.com to find 'em, then book with the airline itself online. Also, if I know that one endpoint is a Southwest hub, I check them too, since they don't usually show up in aggregators (for example, I fly into BWI fairly often).
unfortunately I don't know jack about international flights -- the price has always kept me out of that market.
BTW--my best guess would be to use orbitz.com, and if it's a single carrier flight, book with the airline itself. I found Northwest flights with 1 stop in Amsterdam for about $1k, but it would depend on travel dates & where you need to land in Finland (I guessed Helsinki). FYI, my understanding is that fares to Europe peak during the summer and crash during the winter--given Scandanavian winters, I'd guess the effect is even more pronounced
