    Thanks for the high quality TR! It looks Finnair has a decent PE product, meals are not their strenght though. This route brings back memories, I flew HEL-SEA on Finnair DC-10 as a kid in the late 1980's, it was a triangle route HEL-SEA-LAX

    well, being a 55 meter high airport, and not so hot clime, leaves Vantaa a perfect place for engines performance. 3000 meter rwy is more than enough for fully loaded a330s, a350s and whatever wants to operate at that airport.

    I'm from Richland, Washington right by where you filmed the Manhattan project park (we call it Hanford). Dont see many travel vloggers make it way out there! Looks like river level was really high when you went.... I'd guess June? Snow runoff time in the mountains. Thanks for the video, I'll be on this flight next summer actually, so I'm researching already! Cheers 🍻

    My family and I flew on the exact same aircraft on the outbound flight on that day! We flew from SEA to ZRH via HEL, but we flew in economy class and the plane was maybe just 70% full on the outbound flight, so there were a lot of empty rows. How did you like the cabin service? Customs seemed to be a breeze for you, even though I find it to be a very long walk from the S gates to the CBP area at SEA. Add in the fact that there are no restrooms in the arrivals area of the South Satellite, and it honestly makes me miss the old facility that they used to have.

    Of course full flights are not what you want as a passenger, for example it was really great to be able to spread out on my flights to JFK and back this summmer with Finnair, but I am also glad to see Finnair can fill their planes up given the financial strugles.

    spend a short time in this lounge 1 week ago, the food is nothing like there is as shown on the video. i had high expectations from Finnair. little was available mostly catering to Asian customers perhaps. just some breads and fish, rice two three types of desert. plenty of alcoholic beverage was available though. breakfast prior to arriving at Haneda airport was like a dogs breakfast all mashed up egg and whatever. the seats were stiff with minimal adjustments. a bit of a disappointment Finnair.

    Another great video. I was there in August taking a cruise to Alaska. Very nice of you not to show the extensive open air drug use by junkies on the sidewalks in Seattle. There was a gang war going on and one of the groups used chain explosives on the grounds of Harborview Hospital where the criminal drug trade has taken over. A Korean couple was gunned down a few blocks from the cruise ship Pier 66 in a racially motivated attack. Amazon built themselves a world class headquarters and conference facilities called the Spheres that I was able to tour by reservation but in the month since they announced they're leaving citing safety concerns. The Detroitification of Seattle is almost complete. In short don't go to Seattle.

    Do you think there is hope for this country to ever come back to the great country it used to be? When the movie came out "Escape from New York" we all said, well, that's science fiction. How wrong we were. I'm almost 82 and time is running out for me.

    @cestmoi1262 I'd like to think so but there's such a wide spread effort being made to destroy the country from the highest levels to the lowest even blocking police from doing their jobs like I saw in Seattle. Who would have ever thought that a city like Seattle home of companies like Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon, Nordstrom, REI and so many other world leading manufacturing, technology and retail giants would fall so far so fast.
