We took the train from the airport to the city center. Our flight back to Tokyo was scheduled to depart at six in the evening, so I wanted to be back at the airport by four at the latest. It was two o'clock.
Even if we went into the city, there was not much we could do with the limited time we had. I did not have any particular destination in mind.
I was simply curious to see Helsinki. My daughters came along without a word of complaint, though we could have simply spend the time of transit relaxing at Helsinki Airport.
Outside the train window, snow lay deep upon the ground, and for the first time I truly felt that I had come to the Nordic countries.
空港から市内までは電車で向かった。東京へ戻る便は十八時発なので、遅くとも十六時には空港へ戻りたい。時刻は十四時だった。
市内へ出ても限られた時間で何ができるわけでもない。明確な目的があったわけではないが、ただヘルシンキの街を見てみたいという好奇心だけがあった。娘たちも文句も言わずつきあってくれた。ヘルシンキ空港でのんびりとすごすという選択肢もあったのだが。
電車の窓の外には雪が深く積もり、北欧に来たのだという実感が湧いてきた。

So this is a past hypothetical, you need to use the past tense "spent".
"transit time" is an very commonly used collocation, so it ends up sounding unnatural to break it down to "time of transit".
