Experience the New Finnair AirLounge Business Class.
In October 2023, I flew from Helsinki to New York JFK with Finnair. Finnair announced the introduction of a brand new Business Class seat product in February 2022, and this is my first time experiencing this seat product onboard their Airbus 350-900. While Finnair is notorious for its cost cutting measure due to serious financial loses after the pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I did enjoy the flight with the very professional crew presenting their Finnish Hospitality.
Hope that my video has fulfilled your “taste buds”, and if it did, I would be happy if you could follow me on my Instagram - cxka_ken for traveling shots.

looks like a very rude customer
Hmmm. 🤔. I’m just not impressed with the chaotic boarding process and IMHO, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for the trash left at your seat. The Flight Attendant was clearly embarrassed to death when you pointed it out 😕. The meals just seemed to be so so. I hope Finnair can one day invest more into its inflight meals and straighten out its boarding procedures because deep down I think it’s a good company 😊
using the phrase "super disgusting" is a super tacky way to address the issue with the flight attendant, which as you said was not her fault.
It’s indeed disgusting. People paid business not to be disgusted with those trash
there are a million more respectful ways of saying this
I think it is language barrier
finnair a tout miser sur son siege mais est une compagnie tres tres médiocre en au niveau de la restauration
Very nice review, however, be a little nicer to the crew when you find something is not in order. Like the trash you found. It's after all not her fault. She's there to save your life if something happens. So a bit politeness isn't harmful. Take care now. :) Nice glasses btw.
When the reviewer pointed out the trash to the flight attendant, he wasn’t blaming her personally - just as the flight attendant didn’t apologize on her personal behalf. She apologized on behalf of Finnair, that did not meet the expectations inherent in the price of an expensive ticket. In a business relationship customers should be courteous but not apologetic about pointing out the shortcomings of goods and services for which they’ve paid.
The trash is definetely disgusting, like how can they miss that out? 😂
As a OneWorld Emerald living in Spain, Finnair to Asia is a very viable and cost effective option. I find Finnair's hard and soft product offerings to be an exceptional value when compared to other OneWorld options from Barcelona to Asia such a Qatar, which would be double the price (or more) for a business class seat. I also like the SkyLounge seat and have no complaints. It is much roomier than fully motorized articulated seats offered by the competition, just takes a little getting used to. Thank you for a great video and review!
Thanks for watching and for commenting! I was a bit disappointed that the seat was a bit too firm for me to sleep in, other than this, it is a perfect seat design! I also liked the service provided by their crew, very Finnish and friendly! :)
While I agree it is not pleasant to find "leftovers" from a previous passenger, the whole "disappointment" "washing away with champagne" vibe was a tad too too drama.
I'm not impressed with your alcohol consumption.... This does not make you look more mature or wiser.
I had a business class flight on Finnair Bangkok to Sydney. Those seats on a 9 hour flight are nothing short of murderous. You can’t recline the seat! I was talking to one of the flight attendants toward the end of the flight and I told her the seats were shocking. She agreed! Never again Finnair!
Thanks for watching! Well, I think the seat is fine for a 6-hour flight… I might have felt a bit more uncomfortable if it was on a longer flight
do they served hot towell before first meal ?
Very nice job, this is easily one of the best Finnair reviews I’ve seen! As a budget traveller, I can only dream of visiting the sauna in their Platinum Lounge, so it’s nice to see some footage of it! 😂 You should definitely try a reindeer fillet or sauteed reindeer next time in Finland. I believe those lounge burgers do not contain much reindeer at all.
Good to hear you had a pleasant experience with Finnair despite some shortcomings. So far I’ve only had the opportunity to try out their Business Class on a short hop in Europe.
Just curious, when you order alcohol from lounges and restaurants, do you ever get asked about your age? Just a thought, if you are able to, have you ever considered growing some facial hair to look more mature?
Rude customer
Great review! Thank you Ken! You are absolutely right about the Finnish hospitality. That plus their design language (Marimekko and Iittala too, both my favorites) makes me a returning customer. The food was... mediocre... Cold dishes and the cheese plate are better in my opinion... It's airplane food anyway. Just give me more blueberry juice. I tried their other two cabins as well. Y was your European standard compensated with blueberry juice. PEY was... okay. It's a modern hard product with a slightly elevated soft product. The best part is its cozy small cabin. Will I do that again? Maybe? But not cash fare. Same as other PEYs out there, the bump in ticket price doesn't give you a proportional upgrade. So, work harder on points to get J or suck it up in Y... (btw I actually like the AirLounge. As the name suggests, perfect for lounging)
I've been flying back and forth between Rovaniemi and Helsinki with Finnair for a couple of years now and we've always boarded in groups. I have no clue why they wouldn't be consistent and do the same on much bigger and longer flights as well.
Thank you - a very thorough, entertaining and eloquent review. Finnair's Business product is a bold move, with some nice, innovative touches. It will be interesting to see how it performs, especially as they no longer seem to be undercutting the market in terms of price. Asia is potentially their biggest market although they're up against stiff competition and the Russian airspace issue may be damaging.
Thanks for watching and comment! Yes, the new Business Class product is undeniably a cool innovation, but I'm a bit disappointed as the seat was a bit too firm to sleep in... :( Hopefully the invasion will be over some day soon and the airline can thrive again with people in the affected countries and regions living a peaceful life!
I love the Sauna In the loungen, Great video ❤
Welcome back! I’ve always been flying this airline for transit from UK to Hong Kong and return.
Thanks for watching again! Is AY doing a better job vs BA and CX on the UK-HK route?
@@MarcoPoloClubFlyerI think AY isn’t that bad. The last time I flew AY took 12 and a half hours from HEL-HK despite avoiding Russia and Ukraine. (I’m too poor to fly on direct flights especially CX when the prices keeps going up😢)
@@jasonc838I am poor too :(
Loved it Ken and I wonder if this seat can compete with the Cathay Pacific Aria Suite or not? I just wish the Aria suite seat has this feature
Last time I flew with them was long ago when the airport lounge was under construction lol The seat was smaller and less privacy than this one. Anyway, this version is similar to Qatar which I like. Looking forward to experience it’s soon.
I was thinking about taking finair business class in the near future. Now I am changing my mind. 😂 Nice video though
Welcome back!
Thanks for watching again!
trust fun or miles ?
Well! Interesting review!
