    Did this same flight in 1A and loved every minute of it. The only disappointment was the solid undercast preventing me from seeing Jan Mayen - which the friendly crew told me when we'd be passing, so I could plan my sleep accordingly.
    I've watched this flight on FlightRadar24 and seen it turn right out of LAX then not turn again until 10-mile final into Helsinki. 5,000-mile right base :)
    I love Finnair (which is just as well, given that I live in the north of Finland). I've always found the service on board to be attentive but with that wonderful Finnish quality of not bothering you when it isn't necessary. Whether it's turning round from staring out the window on arrival and finding my coat retrieved from the locker and folded neatly on the seat beside me, or collapsing into my seat after a sweltering run the entire length of HEL and having an FA bring a glass of water before I could even fasten my belt, they somehow manage to hit that sweet spot between invisible and fawning, every time.

    Food varies heavy when you fly TO Helsinki, compared to flying from it. My experience is that the food is always a safe bet and fantastic when flying from Hel. Small menu, but always a flavor experience regardless of what your two options are.

      The issue is LAX and Finnair doesn't want to spend extra money to make it decent. Vast majority of LAX departing long haul flights have lousy food - in fact, probably the worst in the world. I have traveled extensively and LAX is my long-haul home base and I have never seen or eaten any airline food that's worse than LAX's catering.

      Food on outbound flights tend to be better, than on flights back to an airlines base. For example, I flew KLM from Amsterdam, down to Kilimanjaro, and back about 10 days later. The food on the way down was better. I’ve also flown United from DEN-LHR and back as well, and it was true then, too.

    • @afcgeo882
      @afcgeo882 2 года назад +5

      @@schumi246 This is true of all airlines.
      The simple reason is that every airline designs its own menu, so at its home base, the catering company makes A LOT of those dishes, for all of those flights out of the base. That makes it cheaper, more consistent, and with the exact brand ingredients it was designed to have.
      At away airports all around the world the local caterers have to use local ingredients and only make the food for one or two flights a day (of that airline). They lack the experience, the economies of scale drive the prices up, and the local brands/ingredients don’t work as well together.

    • @_w_w_
      @_w_w_ 2 года назад +2

      @@schumi246 It's not outbound or inbound. It's where the food is catered. US-catered food in general is pretty bad. The ONLY airport I think otherwise is Seattle. LAX is THE worst. United's catering out of SFO, IAH and EWR are super lousy, but on the return leg catered by the out-station's caterers, the food is 100% better. This is the most obvious when the flights leave Japan, Taiwan or France. The difference in meal quality and presentation is shockingly noticeable, even in economy. The sad thing is that flighst departing China, catered in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen are even better than the US. They actually hire foreign chefs in China from top schools and restaurants... If you can disconnect the culture aspect of a cuisine and just look at ingredient, taste and execution, even the Chinese caters are better than the Americans.

    I've always liked Finnair. My best memory was when I was on one of my first trips to Europe and returning to Helsinki from Münich. We had a connecting flight leaving from Charles de Gaulle and our flight was not only late but we had to through a very rude and slow security check there. We were running really late, actually running to the gate, panting and sweating. Then the Finnair flight attendant welcomed us young, lost and exhausted lads with the warmest of smiles and said "you don't have to hurry anymore, we'll take you home".
    Those were just the right words and just awesome customer service.

    Jeb, I'm sorry I'm just seeing this video now. I can not agree with you more. I flew Finnair for the first time last summer in business, HEL-LAX on the A350. Absolute best flying experience I ever had. Myself and several other pax arrived very delayed into HEL from FRA and the gate agents could not have been more pleasant, accommodating, and calming after many of us ran 20 minutes through the airport. They were waiting for us and weren't going to leave without us. The onboard experience was just as fantastic. I agree their drinking glasses are amazing, but I'm disappointed it doesn't seem you had their signature blueberry juice. It was delicious. That's all I drank the whole flight and I wanted to buy some to take home. Finnair is most definitely my new favorite and preferred airline for travel to Europe. Unfortunately, their schedule didn't work with mine this summer. I really hope their financial situation improves so I can fly with them again in the future.

Ja noh, porukat asu riihimäellä ja finnairilla oli joku oma tulkintansa korvauksista ja sano että pitäkää tunkkinne. Ootettiin kentällä + koneessa + kamoja takas koneesta yhteensä n. 16 tuntia ja sitten piti ajaa joskus kahdelta yöllä kotiin ja sitten seuraavana päivänä uudestaan kentälle. Sillon sentään päästiin lähtemään :D
      Ei mitään korvauksia, eivät tarjonneet hotellihuonetta ei mitään. Söi vähän omaa kokemustani tosta yrityksestä.
      Tais mennä oikeuteen asti tää keissi, en oo kysyny tuliko siitä ikinä mitään.

    Great video Jeb! I usually combine trips from Europe to the west coast with mileage/status runs, so I include a stop on the east coast on the way back.
    I've only had one short trip on Finnair, from LHR to HEL, but it was operated by their long-haul aircraft - an A350 out (coincidentally the same aircraft you flew on - but I was in 8A!) and an A330 back. The food was okay for a short flight, but the service was great and the seat comfortable. I'll definitely consider them for a transatlantic leg in future.

      In the coming summer season Finnair has increased widebody service on SH routes. LHR gets A350 twice daily, all AMS flights are operated by A350. They opened a new long haul base in Stockholm but seems still extra capacity left, their important markets in Japan and China being mostly closed now.

    Hi Jeb, welcome to the AY Club. I've flown them probably half-a-dozen times and, as an avid one-world supporter, they are one of my favourite LH airlines. There are a couple of reasons for this:
    1. Their Business Class fares are usually quite reasonable - from Australia they tend to have decent RTW J prices towards Oct-Nov of each year
    2. Their connections at HEL are great - usually can be as short as 55mins - and even if longer their Platinum-status Lounge in the non-Schengen transit zone is excellent.
    Also, their food offerings - while not quite as "exotic" as the days when they would serve reindeer - remain quite nordic. Given the general Finnish love of seafood - and the representation of that onboard - you may have to look for a new favourite long-haul for your shellfish issue!! Just joking, but I think you struck a little unlucky in that you were flying to Helsinki. AY seem to offer greater food choices ex HEL and they currently only appear to offer the ability to pre-book a J meal ex-HEL although you always have the special diet options available.
    Lastly, I was surprised at your description of the crew. I found them to be a little cool to start off with but are great at being able to size their customers and generally will thaw as the flight progresses.
    Again, welcome to one of the best-kept secrets: AY Long Haul Business Class!

      Safety. Thing is a lot of the pilots have flown F18’s and such, I know I’d rather fly with these guys if something goes wrong.

    I live in New Mexico, but my daughter and her family live near L.A. I always choose flights to Europe out of LAX and fly business class (often on points, once in a while on a good paid fare) on Turkish Airlines. As you probably know, Turkish cannot be beat on business class catering and the Star Alliance lounge in the TBIT is very good. I get great inflight food and service, watch a movie or two, have a full night of comfortable sleep, and really enjoy the wonderful lounge at IST between flights.
    Your review of Finnair is interesting, the only thing you left out was a comment about the Marimekko bedding and amenity kit bag. I also love the unusual Finnish glassware and would definitely buy them onboard! Thanks for another great review.

    Nice video, Jeb! To answer your question about the long flight vs. flying to Europe from the east coast, when I lived in Los Angeles I flew from there to Europe many times with my children. They are dual nationals so there were many of these trips to see family. I chose non-stop flights back in those days because I figured breaking up the flight into two shorter stretches would make the overall trip longer with young ones. I flew a lot of different airlines over the years. I loved my FinnAir flight (awesome airline!) but my best experience was one KLM flight when the attendants offered to play with my then two-year-old from time to time. I swear I didn't ask them to do it! Btw, your breakfast looked good on FinnAir. My favorite breakfast was on a SwissAir flight. Amazingly fresh and delicious.

    I have been to Europe over 60 times, almost all from Seattle. I love the longer flight, especially in Business class. I can stretch out and enjoy seven or eight hours of sleep. Flying to Europe I am not there for the food or the service, I am there to sleep. The longer trip is not a major factor but is one factor of why I live in Seattle. Flying Business Class from the east coast, especially Boston or NYC, seems like a waste. Now, if I am flying Economy I would just like the agony to be over as quickly as possible. Finnair is starting service from Seattle to Helsinki this summer, so I am looking forward to that.

    I flew from LA to Frankfurt non stop. Got good sleep (overnite) it took 11.5 hours left at 8PM arrived at 2pm. Coming back was strange we left Frankfurt at 2 pm and arrived back in LA at 5PM. It was daylight the whole way back and I stood in the back of the plane with cocktails and conversation with US and German travelers.

    I’m SO disappointed for you that they didn’t have the updated cabin on your flight. I was looking forward to your review of the new product. Based on Finnair’s oficial videos, it looks beautiful! I took this same flight, after a short hop down from San Francisco, back in November of 2019. Back before we knew what Covid was. Even with a full flight, like you mentioned, the flight attendants were awesome! I couldn’t get enough of their blueberry juice! The international terminal at LAX is hugely different from the domestic ones. It’s so not good.

    Somehow I managed to not see this one until now. Very interesting as always - the seat did look a bit tight, but you said it's still comfy. Well, great that you had six hours deep sleep there. I'm just a very bad sleeper on planes, even on the biggest Business of First Class bed (partly because even after after way over 1000 flights I always think I miss something 😅) - thank you for your dedicated trip reports!
