Changing flights after having been granted a Schengen-Visa [duplicate]

My girlfriend is currently a resident outside of the Schengen area while I'm a Swedish resident. She applied for a visitors visa with my invitation and was swiftly granted it.

However, we have later found a better flight than the reservation we used when applying for the visa. All the dates are exactly the same, but it is cheaper. The big difference is though that the original flight had a connection outside the Schengen zone while the new one has it inside, in Helsinki. The final destination airport is still the same (Arlanda) and she won't be staying in Helsinki, just getting on another plane there.

My understanding is that as Helsinki is the first Schengen airport she lands at she will have to pass through immigration there and not in Arlanda, correct?
Will she experience any trouble getting in or on the plants due to this change?

Can I change my flight after getting Schengen Visa?

You cannot change your itinerary so completely that the information you gave in the visa application is no longer true. If you planned a trip lasting 10 days, and you now have 15 days "duration of stay", you can extend your trip by up to 5 days (including a visit to another country if you want).

Can I have 2 Schengen visas at the same time?

In theory, it is not possible for a person to hold two valid short stay visas covering the same period. I have a valid Schengen visa but it does not cover my next intended stay, what can I do? In this case, it is possible to file a visa application for another Schengen visa to cover the next intended stay entirely.

Can you transit through 2 Schengen countries?

Can I change my hotel after getting Schengen Visa?

The Schengen visa means the visa is for the Schengen area; otherwise it will be called a country-specific visa. There is no requirement to enter first to the country who issued you visa and hence no hotel change issue.
