I've flown Finnair to/from Chicago, always enjoyed it. This was in the mid-2010s so they may have been on A340's I think. Loved that lounge too. I agree, easy airport to navigate and also easy to get to/from downtown Helsinki. I ought to do a trip report with them again on my next Europe trip! - Red

Great report, as usual! I haven’t toured Scandinavia yet, my plan is to fly Finnair one way, SAS return, LAX or SFO. That way I can try them both. I flew LHR SEA Monday on a new DL A330-900, no wifi yet installed. All else worked great. Beautiful plane, comfy, good food, service. Loved it! Check em out! (I was in Budapest).
Exelente Vídeo Parabéns Muito bom 👍
Love finnair :)
Awesome
Nice but would've wanted to see the krone seats! Love the transatlantic ones!
Very early for one of your videos again
Very nice. Yes please to the lounge with showers. But for me, the former blue & white livery was the beautiful one. Also preferred the former font. :)
Hello! Nice video! :) I am going to same trip on May and I am already so excited when I watch this video. I have a question. Was this small dish later (muffin and that pastry) complimentary or did you have to buy this?
QFS Aviation can you please do a trip report on United , Alaska , American or Southwest to Santa Barbara?
I am contemplating to fly on Finnair to visit beautiful Finland someday in the near future !! Their premium business ? seats are looking so good ,but not sure if I can afford them ! Although they're at very attractive prices !! So,watching what their economy seats are like in a video like this helps a lot ! Thanks ! 😊 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️🇫🇮💞
Another excellent tranquil trip report. 32” pitch isn’t that standard, Qantas has 31” for its A330s.
Cool your going to my hometown n I will be going in December
Super video! 👏
SunCountry coming soon to Omaha will fly 2 flights a week to Minneapolis/St.Paul
The shops were closed in Helsinki due to a staffing shortage most likely
Seems to be International flights boarding at International Airports on widebodies are always chaotic, but it won't be in Omaha if I get a job with GAT (part of United Airlines) which I will be extremely organized as a customer service agent. Also if you fly into Omaha on United, you could see me if I get the job. I had a phone interview a few days ago.
Hello, I see there are two audio jacks so I do not need a splitter to use two headphone sets?
For the water the bottle looks like ÖBB Nightjet's Vöslauer but tastes much better.
Just wanted to add one thing. Many airports such as Singapore's Changi International practices this method of boarding.

Changi has security check right at the gate unlike most airports so that's why you can't leave the gate area when you have gone through it.
Do the DeltaA321neo first class
I heard leather seats are comfortable on long haul flights for the first few hours, then eventually become uncomfortable

you fly economy over the pond ? in a seat next to the toilet ?

Aerolínea Finnair, saludos. Les pido mejorar el servicio de entrega de equipajes en su destino a sus clientes. Muchos pasajeros que vienen haciendo escalas, sufren al pedir sus maletas y recibir como respuesta un desconocimiento de ustedes. Por favor, ayuden y brinden mejor atención a estás personas. Todos merecemos un buen servicio.
Can anyone let me know if this flight is all daylight?

The flight from Helsinki to New York is all daylight
Wonder how you (and unfortunately many others) can call something dumb without even trying to understand the reason behind it. Just cause you don't get it doesn't mean it's dumb. Inconvenient / unusual in your experience? Maybe. But definitely not dumb. I would expect more curiosity and research from somebody supposedly passionate about this industry. Anyway, this is usually done when the crew isn't yet ready to accept passengers on board, but delaying boarding until they are ready would cause the flight to be late. So basically the time consuming processes of scanning boarding passes / verifying passports / conducting US CBP interviews (if that is being done at the gate) are being done while waiting for the crew to be ready, and when they give the green light for boarding, the only thing left to do is to let passengers on board. This gives plenty of time for the ground crew to unload any bags of no-show passengers and to correctly fill in the information on the load sheet, and generally ensures that the flight can depart on time, meaning that connecting passengers catch their connection and that the return flight has more chances to leave on time. So yeah, it's a widely-used efficient measure to increase on-time performance where / when needed, not something dumb.

Me calling it dumb is an opinion, something everyone’s entitled to. I still think it’s dumb even if the reason is for the crew not being ready. Why would they start boarding until they’re ready? Holding off on boarding would give passengers more time to grab a coffee and relax before all being herded into a secure area
@sternreport
Жыл бұрын
I don't believe these holding bays make a noticeable difference, as everyone is still standing in the gangway while people start blocking the way in the plane to put their luggage away. The scanning and blocking people in is probably only handy to close boarding sooner and label people as late sooner. Still it's a dumb or better annoying design choice.

I am not familiar with Northern Europe but Finnland's roots are not Scandinavian but Baltic & Hungarian.
Weird how you live in both the U.S. and Canada and have a Russian Visa
I hope they don't do that herding garbage for their premium passengers. Otherwise, great video.

Officially, Finland is Nordic, not Baltic (the Baltic countries being Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). In the happy Nordic family of DEN FIN ICE NOR SWE, the 3 monarchies DEN NOR SWE are called Scandinavia. Yeah the Finnish language is remotely related to Hungarian, though Swedish is the 2nd official languagein Finland.
