I maybe should make the point that this was over a nearly 3hr period. Looking back on it, that is a decent amount of food, especially after not exactly being starved on the previous flight. Thank you...
I try where possible to work my flights around either the A350 or A330 that Finnair use between LHR & HEL. A much better option than the A321. Also, as they don't sell Premium Economy class between the cities, that cabin is available for Economy passengers, either for free if you have status, or I believe it was only €14 for those that did not have free access to those seats. Even though it is only a 2-3hr flight, every extra bit of comfort is a bonus.
A bit inconvenient that Qantas “sit down dining”doesn’t open until 9-30 am plus Cathay Pacific is the better option regarding showers. The little Irishman has gone, time to update the Qantas brand! Helsinki is a very good well organised airport. It would be quite an undertaking to count all the aircraft on the ground at Heathrow in the morning as you fly over them. I really like your presentations. Nicely edited, voiced and informative. Regards, Les in Melbourne.
The Qantas Perth flight leaves at Noon currently and later during the Northern Hemisphere Summer, and the Singapore/Sydney flight does not leave till 8pm, so there is not really much need for the dining room to be open that early in the morning. Cathay does have some earlier flights as well. Helsinki is a fantastic airport. Thank you as always.
@ I was thinking what a good PR opportunity to have good facilities open so other travellers can sample Australian hospitality, plus other code sharing passengers can use the lounges ( as you used the Cathay Lounge ). Les.
@@lesliewentworth9678 keep in mind, you are spoilt for choice with OneWorld lounges at T3, with Qantas, Cathay Pacific, British Airways, American Airlines Lounges all next to each other, plus if you are on a Qantas/Emirates codeshare flight there is always the Emirates Lounge as well. Given the QF lounge is scheduled for redevelopment, and expansion they are kind of in a holding pattern, plus T3 really needs to be demolished and rebuilt from scratch... it is really showing its age. But, the issue they have is the sheer number of gates it has, and flights served.
I defy anyone to not feel hungry after the first 5 minutes of your videos. Always great viewing. Many thanks.

A350 💙 I wish all my Euro flights were like that, I've a soft spot for widebodies on short hauls
