- Want to know what Finnair's new pod seat is like? With no recline mechanism, a pod shape and wireless charging it's definitely different to any other seat I've flown in.
I travelled from Doha to Helsinki to LA to join my family for my youngest son's 21st birthday celebrations and I did the trip on Finnair business class in the new pod seat. Did I love it? Who was in business class with me? Let me show you.

I can definitely see Kimi being a consultant for these Pods for Finnair…… “Just leave me alone.”
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE I KNOW WHAT TO DO
by the way: Mervi is old/ex/former Finnair cabin crew member
Every Kym Illman travel vlog has to have a "I've just realised" moment 😄
So true!
So fun to see you using Finnair, it’s the airline I mainly use as a Finn myself! Though I won’t be trying the business class for a long while, too much for my budget lol. Make sure to visit Helsinki some day if you use Finnair again!
Really excited for this, its my home airline, sadly you didn’t have time to visit the lounge in Helsinki since it has a sauna.
Ps. Great video as always Kym, keep up the great work!
Damn, a sauna on a layover sounds fun
The cocoon would be very interesting to try 😮
The timeline is also a great idea, wish every airline did it. Finn air is one of the top rated for a reason
It made me smile seeing you meet up with your family in LA! I’m so happy for you and your success that you get to travel the world watching F1 and enjoying your passions. It is incomprehensible to know hard you work for your channel. People who watch these videos might not realize how hard it is to edit all these videos, and take so many pictures. I swear your day must be a 48 hour day. Keep up the amazing work! One of these days I’ll meet you. I missed you in Singapore twice now, Austin, and Budapest….oh well.
I've been waiting for this vid since you posted the travel plan video for the year! Flying AMS-HEL consistently with Finnair so unfortunately haven't experienced this seat yet
As a relatively new subscriber and made keen F1 fan (thanks to Drive to survive).. I love your videos !.. entertaining… interesting.. love the behind the scenes of F1 you show… especially love your flight and hotel reviews … and your naturally funny 😆… from a fellow Aussie… thank you ❤
6:51 never thought id hear kym say deez nuts
So nice to see you reunited with your family! Lovely moments! 😊 And a very nice review of Finnair! You should have asked for a "Steering wheel! Gloves! Steering wheel!" 😂
I love the candidness and honesty in your reviews.
Your videos always bring a smile to my face. Such a nice chilled positive vibe.
Love seeing you're flight reviews, there are so many different product offerings for so many different airlines. Its so sad though that none of the US business class offerings can compare to other airlines.
Great Vid and excellent information. It's been a while since I flew Finnair, during my Gillette days living in Europe but all Scandinavian airlines were usually great! Good luck in Vegas, I can't wait to see the race there!
You love the comfort kym , but we love your videos. Another brilliant travel video, truly enjoyed watching it. And also more and more i notice you on sky f1 live streams you pop out from time to time haha.. till next time
Nice to see that you travel, and liked fly our Finnair. Loved to see your content here.
Thanks a ton!
Another amazing video and the surprise at the end meeting family 😊
Thank you! 😀
Kym, your videos are such a joy. I look forward every time I am notified when your videos get posted!
Yay! Thank you!
Kym, I flew this exact route in June and also stayed at the Viceroy - talk about deja vu! Also contemplating starting a travel channel... maybe this is a sign? Copy the best and go from there..! Another top video :)
Have fun!
Kym, you're a legend. Love the videos
I am taking the exact same trip at the end of November.....thank you so much for all the details, I am looking forward to this trip as I am going home for the first time in a number of years :)
Hope you enjoy it!
So nice to see your family in LA!!!
More to come!
The Finnair glassware is really iconic. I might need to order some.
Love your videos Kym 👍👏
You're amazing Kym! Thanks!
You're so welcome!
3:02 "Thank you!" Hahahahaha
9:06, that’s me on the runway in the Spirit airplane. Watched you land!
I thought it was
What an itinerary: Doha - Helsinki - LAX, on the way to San Antonio!!?? Understandable when we saw the special guests at the end, of course!
That flight ticket animation of HEL -> LAX was a nice touch 👌🏼
There was one for the first flight as well!
you're a natural story teller kym
I like the x-ray sparklies in the scanner 😂
I've just flown back from ICN to HEL. I was in 3L too.
Going out, I had a similar last minute transfer experience.
I was caught up in the industrial action by ground staff.
my bag wasn't transferred and we couldn't deplane for nearly an hour,
nearly missed my connection, they held the flight for me and I was the last
to walk on. Alas no luggage in Korea though...
Best part of this video was the end, arriving after a long trip to the ones you love🥰 have fun in Vegas!
Thanks so much!!
And Stay Passionate 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
You are living my dream. Do you have a video on how you got into shooting F1?
welcome to the US. enjoy your stay.
6:51 GOTTEM 😂😂
Thanks Kym. Just toying with booking Finnair from Stockholm to Doha; so great to see it really is that good. Then onwards to Adelaide in a Qsuite, if the diary and budget allow. Love your travel videos and even thos about F1, about which I know zilch !
Btw this winter season you can get Finnair all the way to SYD Australia 😉 Their A3300 + crew operate SIN/BKK - SYD flights for Qantas
F1 is the very thing missing from your life. Start by watching the driver's vlogs. Very funny especially the Ferrari Goggles challenge and the McLaren Milk Challenge. Get to know the drivers and Teams and the rest will follow. You need some fun! x
I stick to horses; another good route to hospital and financial ruin !@@vrccb
Cant wait for Vegas content baby!!!
Kym did you manage to have a look at the Finnair economy class seats? I've been told it's amazing as far as economy class goes.
People please make this a meme. 6:51
I would love to hear what you think of the Delta one suits, on the a330neo or a350
I don't travel on business, but if I do I don't think I could be comfortable in that Finnair chair. I like a bit of recline to sleep to alleviate my sleep apnea.
Hi Kym, I took your advise and checked out your Finnair video. Amazing, man you know how to travel! I so enjoy your fantastic videos, love the "deez nuts" comment, laughed my a#$ off! Why are you going to Vegas now? Austin, Mexico and Brazil first? Keep the vids going! Love it! Rick
Awesome! Thank you!
Lol the face widening
Welcome to the US🏁
yes
I Like The Seats,And I Love The Blueberry Juice,Great Trip Report
Thanks for watching!
Kym, can you do a video on the credit cards and airlines points systems you use and book flights through?
BankWest Mastercard.
@@KymIllman wow ok so you don't use multiple credit cards for travel points and rewards?
Smoothly Flying ✈️
Salt Lake City that's my home. You should. Visit some time
Ohhhhh I've stayed at the Viceroy L'Ermitage in Beverly Hills with my boyfriend, it's really lovely and low-key. How was the Santa Monica location?
Are you doing any events in Las Vegas?
Hello from SLC! Hope you enjoyed the view
I did!
I thought i heard a deez nuts joke haha but he was just eating nuts
Are you going to the nascar race in Vegas this weekend?
No
Those short connections stress the hell out of me
8:36 Can we get some signed prints of this please?? @kym??
That bfast looks yummy 😋
I booked about 3 flights in "first class" on us domestic flights and they were pretty basic compared to these crazy pods and beds. Completely envious of this lifestyle. Although i could see it getting a bit stale once youve done it a few times.
wow you can sit cross-legged - did not realise Finnair was so good
8 days.. it’d be hard travelling and doing the No sugar thing…
The pod seat is perfect for a parent with a very young child. Don't expect any sleep. I didn't get any
MOOMINS!
do you edit and produce your own videos? very high production standards compared to many others.
This year, I found a brilliant editor take the pressure off me
Wonder why other companies not doing that yet - a proper pod
Is there a fast was through US customs as it always takes ages for me to
if you're a US citizen, get Global Entry. I have it and it's a breeze thru customs... no laptop out, no shoes off, no belt off, just pass thru...
next video: we can't afford the senna!
Kym are you staying in Vegas until the GP? That's a fair stay if so!
Almost definitely not, considering there’s Brazil and Mexico internationally, plus Austin, while not too far plane wise, is very far from daytrippable
By the looks of it he got invited to tour the F1 Vegas track to show everyone the progress being made and to spend some time with the family. No doubt he'll be catching a flight to texas soon
11:11 😬
I for one like the comfy feel and the ability to cross your legs and sit... it's perfect seat for asian people...
Finnish women have the loveliest voices.
Seat is okay. Thats about it
Ei ois varmaan tarvinnu päästää moista kaljua mulkkua hieromaan hanuriaan näihin uusiin kuppipenkkeihin
Your travel videos are oddly entertaining.
Too bad didnt have more time to visit Helsinki
i saw a video about the new FinnAir's new pod seats earlier today, and to be honest, i wont be flying with FinnAir buisnessclass anytime soon. Not being able to recline is a dealbreaker for me
Pray this is sarcasm 💀
Have you tested yourself, you will be pleasently suprised I’d reckon
You can’t say no without testing it first
Deez nuts 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You've lost weight it must be all of that sweating in Qatar 😅
thnx. Finnair is not a good airline anymore. They do not serve champagne in Europe anymore. They do not offer an international first class cabin anymore.
The featured meal here was average. Nothing fancy. OK its only businessclass. Vid was excellent though
Thanks for the info!
Miss the good old days when F1 and racing were the main focus 😞
I've always wanted to disappear into fin air
Welcome back to the United States. Enjoy Vegas.
Don’t film in business or first class. If you want to film go to economy.
What do you mean, why can’t he. There is literally more privacy and noise cancellation in business and first class if the speaking is disturbing you. Have you scrolled through youtube, there is thousands of people doing flight reviews
I did
Tf are you talking about???
Lol no 😂 we dont care about economy bc most of us fly 10 tiles out of 10 in economy and its boring
As someone who struggles to sleep on planes, even in business class, I'm curious: What kind of sleeping tablets do you use? I have zopiclone myself, but I rarely use them.
