TRIP REPORT | Finnair A350 Premium Economy | Helsinki (HEL) - Los Angeles (LAX)
Come along on another adventure as I try out Finnair's A350 Premium Economy Class. Today's flight brings me from Finnair's Helsinki hub to Los Angeles, giving me 11 hours to fully experience what Finnair has to offer.
Finnair's A350 Premium Economy offers a more comfortable seat than Economy (with leg rests), upgraded food served on real porcelain and with real silverware, and comes with a basic amenity kit and a really good noise-cancelling headset.
Are there enough extras over Economy to justify the added cost? At the end of the video, I share some reflections about the product, but to summarize, I'd recommend most people to either stick with Economy or splurge on Business Class, dependin...

Join me for the second and most interesting leg of my journey from Gothenburg to Amsterdam via Helsinki! Finnair's A350 Business Class seats are a unique product, in that its seats do not recline. Nonetheless, they make for a quite comfortable bed. How does this work? Join me as I try the hyped special Business Class product! Earlier this year, I needed to get from Gothenburg to Amsterdam.

TRIP REPORT | Finnair A320 Business Class | Gothenburg (GOT) - Helsinki (HEL)
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.4 месяца назад
Earlier this year, I needed to get from Gothenburg to Amsterdam. Rather than settling with a direct routing in Economy Class, I did some searching for ways to make the trip a little more interesting. Finnair flies the A350 on its HEL-LHR and HEL-AMS routes, and I have been wanting to try Finnair's new Business Class for a long time. Luckily, I found an itinerary using AAdvantage miles for the r...

TRIP REPORT | Ryanair (Buzz) 737-800 | Gothenburg (GOT) - Riga (RIX)

A few months ago, I found a great deal on Ryanair tickets from Gothenburg to Riga. Tickets cost 15 Euros each way, and I had never been in Latvia, so this was the perfect opportunity to explore a new country. Although a Ryanair flight in itself has little to be excited about, the whole experience of flying Ryanair is unique. Some hate it, and others love it. From my experience, I find that Ryan...

Exactly one year ago, I needed to fly from San Fransisco to Riverside.

I had heard of the airline before, but I had no idea th...

At one point during the covid pandemic, Iceland was one of the only countries that I could safely travel to. I booked a ticket to Iceland in June 2020, but a few days before departure, the ticket was cancelled, with a voucher given, and (understandably) no other alternatives for travel. Now, three years later, that voucher was about to expire, so I needed to use it. What better way to use it th...

Ever since I first heard about an airline called Scoot, a few years ago, I have been curious about it. The name, livery, and general impression led my mind to Spirit Airlines. In a world where low-cost long-haul airlines struggle, could Scoot be the first airline to crack the code? Scoot operates a network connecting mostly major cities in the Asia-Pacific, but also operates European routes to ...

    • @dan.spotter1648

      Yes! 27A is a great seat, and since there is only a divider curtain behind you, the seat has just as much recline as other seats in the cabin. Also, since the SAS Plus cabin goes to the forward lavatories, and the SAS Go cabin uses the aft lavatories, the traffic past this seat is minimal.

    A great video. I just booked PE to NYC from Stockholm on the A330, with a return in BIZ on the A321 to CPH. I'm looking forward to seeing what the PE product is like. Since it's a daytime flight to the USA, I don't need a bed, so I'm saving that for the return. Having the full-blown SAS biz experience on a narrowbody will be an experience of it's own as well. Was that the last row you were in?

    • @dan.spotter1648
      @dan.spotter1648 9 месяцев назад

      Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, I was in the last row. In my opinion, SAS Plus is perfect for a daytime flight, so saving Business for the night time return is a great idea. Flying international lie-flat business class on a narrowbody is an experience, for sure. If you travel solo and select a seat, it's good to remember that seats on even rows are the best seats in Business, by far, as these are single "throne seats". Unfortunately, unless you are a SAS Eurobonus Gold member or higher, there is a quite hefty fee to reserve these seats. Enjoy your flights!
