    The Finns are huge coffee lovers, so I’m surprised the onboard coffee wasn’t better. Enjoyed the video. Nice job!

      Finland has been slower than its neighbours to jump on the espresso-based coffee trends. Last time I visited, the usual two options were black (filled to the brim) and black "with space for milk". I stick to brewed coffee there.

      Finland's love for coffee largely comes from quantity over quality. We will chug down 7 cups a day of mediocre coffee because that's what we've grown to tolerate.

      Unfortunately it is not blueberry juice. Only 10% blueberry as much as grapes juice, so you can say it is grape juicedrink as well. Have to say it is joke. First it was blueberry juice and then they save money and change manufacturer and now it its only juicedrink.

    I flew this seat very recently, and while at first I was a little sceptical, I actually really enjoyed it. It is so spacious and the bed itself is great. On normal recline seats I personally never use the halfway-recline anyway so I didn't mind it at all. Some Finnish foods are definitely an acquired taste, but overall the experience has been incredible.) Sidenote, I myself am not really big, but someone in front of me really was, and he personally told me all the extra width in the seat really made it much more comfortable for him

    Very interesting, though I've always found the fishbone biz class seats rather restrictive for my legs/feet, not the length but the height and just moving/turning your legs/feet. I actually prefer those older types, though there is more privacy for work and stuff that I'll give the new angled seats. Still haven't tried first class seats yet, will have to try one day.

    It seems that your choices are to sit upright or lie flat. That wouldn't work for me, as sitting upright becomes uncomfortable for me after a while, and I sleep especially well in my recliner at home. But that's just me.

    you really need to master chewing without your mouth opening. it's off-putting. that said, ive done finnair new biz class - the trick is to extend the main seat's cushion from thr get go. i sat cross legged and with my feet up the whole way, an informal and intuitive position that was encouraged by the design. the end result was like sitting at home in a comfy sofa, which was truly unique and relaxing.

    Mmmm ... I'm a hair-splitter. If the English word "unique" means it's one of a kind, then how can some things be more one of a kind than others? It makes no sense.
    You say that this Finnair seat is "very unique" .... so you're saying that this seat is "very one of its kind"? Implying that other airlines' seats are not so one of its kind as this one. What on earth does that mean? Please explain.
    Otherwise, a great presentation. If it weren't for your judgement of the levels of one-of-a-kindness achieved to distract us, it's as good as it gets. Keep it up 👍🏻.
