No Gatebrigde at Dallas? Dissapointing. However, nice video :)

Superb ! 🌟

[@castlegate2015]

The problem with those in-flight maps is the plane icon is the size of Switzerland so you can't actually work out what that town is down below.

[@marcocoppelo6543]

i've flown many times, but i never knew you can see the engine fumes from inside. Guess i've always been seated further up or by the aisle.

[@AviationAdam]

Yes it’s usually visible when sat near the back, but only at high altitudes. It’s not fumes, but condensation caused by the hot air coming out of the exhaust that meets the very cold air. Also known as contrails or vapour trails.

why buss deboarding in the rain??? no gates at DFW?

[@as-guardianangel9360]

They do, however Finnair arrives around the same time most of the other international flights arrive and thus leaving all the gates filled so typically they’ll use the air stairs sometimes

I fly Form Berlin to Helsinki and then Bangkok.. so for 25€ I have internet for the whole flight from Helsinki to Bangkok ???

Interesting, finally a review of Finnair in a long time where the meal service looks actually good. Not that I care much for airplane food, but I am certainly aware Finnairs catering took a downhill turn after covid. Hope they continue to improve on that front, their financial situation at least seems to be getting better, and especially considering their situation the flight overall seemed to be a pleasant one. Thanks for the great video, and the blueberry juice is definitely a must onboard Finnair!

[@AviationAdam]

Thank you! The catering was good, not sure how good it is when they’re flying out of an airport other than Helsinki. Yes the blueberry juice seems to be a staple of Finnair!
