Nice video, I’ve flown this business class once and I really liked it. Front row has some extra leg room which is nice. One correction also, the provided headphones do have ANC, which you can turn on by flicking the switch on the left earcup, visible at @5:36
Thanks for the report! I like Finnair's new Business cabin, though I've only tried the new seat on short haul, they use their A350/A330 to LHR AMS and MUC, too. I like the smart "Nordic chic" design in the cabins and also at the airport. The "icy" glassware they use in Business Class was first designed in 1968. Yes sometimes you find really good long haul deals on Finnair, if you are flexible with routings. I once booked BUD-HEL-BKK-ARN to catch the best price in Business to Thailand from Europe that time.
I've flown finnair a few times and it's safe to say they have become my favorite airline. The service is incredible, and the crew is always great. They also somewhat feel like home, even though I'm not at all finnish. There's just something oddly familiar about their way of communicating and service to me. However, some very valid points for them exist. Their food/catering is often awful. I love my blueberry juice but the food they serve is often questionable at best. One of those lifelessons is never to get an egg in a finnair meal. Omelets are awful. They also lack self-service for dropping your bag in most airports, and their check-in staff is in fact usually late at the desk giving you minimal airside time. A plus for some, but a minus when you're in a big airport with long security lines that can't be skipped. (i.e. Changi). Their product is solid, though. They don't underperform, and pricing is more than fair. Good short look at their product! I enjoyed watching it!
flying Bussiness class in 10 days from HEL-DFW excited lets see , My favorite aircraft too, And Also I booked the flight with Miles , do I have access to the Finnair Lounge?
Depends on the type of your ticket: Classic and Flex come with lounge access while Light doesn't, see www.finnair.com/gb-en/finnair-ticket-types. I didn't have time to visit the lounge in BKK as I arrived at the airport late.
I don’t think what you said about the connecting flight is correct. If you have a connection at Helsinki, but you do not use the last, the airline may penalise you as far as I know. I came across some news about Lufthansa where they sued some passengers for not travelling on the last leg of the booked itinerary.
I don't like Finnair on long haul flights. Business is quite expensive out of HEL and with the new seats it is almost impossible to find a comfortable position for good back support, as you also mentioned. If you want lounge access and checked luggage you will have to pay a premium price. However, despite being an expensive airline, the food selection is very limited, which is in my opinion a big problem, considering the fact that the Asian market is for Finnair very important and the competition is very tough. So, in conclusion, for me is a BIG no.
New as in “the newest seat the airline currently has” OneWorld elite as a shorter way of saying “members of all OW frequent flyer program that have any status above the basic one”. Same as saying “premium cabins” instead of business class and first class.
@@LoyaltyLlama If you plan to grow your channel I would strongly suggest you take feedback more seriously, there is no such concept as OW Elite - Its just dumb as ST already uses that concept (Elite and Elite Plus)
@@studioxxswe If you plan to have people take your opinions seriously, I would strongly suggest to you not to be so rude. OneWorld elite status (Emerald, Sapphire) does exist. I hold a BA gold card and understand that. These Finnair seats are the latest they have, so everyone other than a tiresome pedant would have understood what he meant by 'new' too. I'm flying in that seat for the first time shortly and consider it to be new too. Thanks for a very informative report, LoyaltyLlama, you have a new subscriber. I'll be flying Finnair business class return to Bangkok soon, although I don't fancy that early departure out of Bangkok!
@@derekbryce2632 thanks for your very nonsense reply. I have been OW Sapphire from QR PLAT for 7 years and I never refer to it as "Elite"; have been *A Gold for over 20 year and don't refer to it as *A Elite - But I will refer my Sky Team Elite Plus status as Elite.

Ah, wow, thanks for the tip with the headphones! Will pin your comment so that more people can see it.

Thanks for all the info! And yeah, BUD is usually a great starting place for cheap fares.
May I ask at which website could you find the cheap fares from BUD.
@@yutongwang8212 It was Finnair's own site, a couple years back. You had to try different routings, BUD-(HEL)-BKK diidn't give the best prices.
I Love The Blueberry Juice Aboard.Great Video And Info
Loved it too!

Great to know the solid onboard experience I had is not a one-off! And thanks for the tip about the eggs, will stir clear 😉
Thanks for the video
Thank you!
Nice video 👍
Thank you!

Yes, award tickets with Finnair have lounge access, afaik. Hope you have a great flight!
@@LoyaltyLlama thank you very much
Eh! Dont include lounge access with business ticket????

I’m now very curious to look up the Lufthansa thing to see how it turned out. Thanks for the callout!
@@LoyaltyLlama it can be dodgy as far as the airlines are concerned and will only work if travelling with carry on baggage.

Always cheap out of Bangkok
Surprisingly cheap!
NEW? LOL this is now 2+ years old.. :)
Not sure what you mean by "OneWorld elite" as such status does not exists :P
