Flight 666 to 'HEL' on Friday the 13th ought to be virtually empty with superstitious travellers quietly booking the next flight.
But passengers on AY666 to Helsinki in Finland appeared not to be too concerned as the plane was almost full when it took off from Copenhagen today.
Even pilots on board the Airbus were sharing a joke about the unlucky numbers.
'It has been quite a joke among the pilots,' said pilot Juha-Pekka Keidasto before flying the Airbus A320 from Copenhagen in Denmark to Helsinki.
'I'm not a superstitious man. It's only a coincidence for me.'
The daily flight AY666 from Copenhagen to Helsinki falls on Friday the 13th twice in 2013.
While Friday the 13th is considered bad luck in many countries, and the number 666 also has strong negative biblical associations, fears attached to number 13 go back only about 100 years in the North.
