Thank you so much for this video, it’s very relaxing and informative

[@marjar.5978]

Phew, 13 hours!!! You are lucky to have your own row though. I hope you have a wonderful trip 😊

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thank you! Yes it was kinda tiring haha

[@liinazworld]

Thanks Daiki for the very informative video. Moikka!

[@CarolinaSainz]

Wonderful video Daiki! I hope you're enjoying family time at it's best! See you soon.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thank you! Glad to hear that! Hope you enjoy your summer there as well :)

Such cozy video

[@henriikkak2091]

The flight time for this route was ten hours before Russia went berserk.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Actually 9 hours, or sometimes even less...

[@ev721]

Always wanted to visit Japan. Looking forward to your videos from there. Enjoy your holiday!

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thank you! Yes next videos will be about Japan :)

[@fabreezethefaintinggoat5484]

show more of what's outside esp in the northern regions, the north ice caps are so cool

[@antonyjackson2324]

So glad I found this! Planning on tokyo trip next May and this route is one on my short list :) Suprised to see it operating to be honest, but pleased it is!

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thank you for watching! I hope you get to visit Japan with normal route then :)

[@LevisL]

Ohh, nice! North pole flight looks really interesting. I am waiting to get back to Japan again.. I visited ones just before world got closed. Japan is my passion.. kind of.. Thank you for the video, enjoy your holiday!

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Nice to hear you had good time in Japan. Thank you for watching!

[@destraye]

Whenever it was possible, I used to take the JAL operated flights (Finnair-JAL codeshare). The food and service is much better at JAL and there's slightly more leg room.

I may be flying Finnair from Dallas to Helsinki so watching videos like yours to get a look at what economy seating looks comfort-wise. Can I assume you have to pay extra to book the seat itself? Disappointed that Finnair stop giving pillows on the international flights. Did you get a lot of sleep? I think your trip would have been all daylight because it was summer in the northern polar area.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Currently, you need to pay extra to book a seat if I remember unless you have a specific Finnair status such as Finnair Gold etc. I don't usually get a proper sleep in the plane.

[@emilo3676]

Hope Japan will be opened for tourist soon. Can’t wait to see your country 🇯🇵

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

I really hope so too!

[@Kuonot]

Hi Daiki! My family is planning a vacation in Japan next year (or when it is possible to travel there as a tourist). However none of us can speak Japanese. I'm a bit worried about navigating through the big airport in Tokyo. What do you think, can tourists manage it well with just English? I love your videos, enjoy your holiday! :)

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

No worries you will manage with English :) Hope you have a nice trip in Japan! And thanks for watching my videos!

[@Kuonot]

@@DAIKIFinlandLife thanks! :) Can't wait for the trip!!

[@themostannoyingplayer4519]

Nice and informative flight-document. I really liked this! Special bonus: no stupid business-class snobbish drama from a**holes v-loggers! Finnair is the best.

Fantastic. Taking this route (though to Haneda) next month for Sakura Season! Where did you register covid-vacc and other dokuments? Via finnair?

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

You'll find it from the website of minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan.

[@gnnascarfan2410]

Looked up "North Pole" Finnair route because of the Russian airspace and found this video. This was the same route Finnair used during the Cold War.

[@freeloader247]

No. Finland had "special relations" with USSR. They did enter ussr aerospace. And if not where do u think they had a stop over?

[@kunaigayyavlogs]

Enjoy your holidays in Japan! 😊

[@rocky.214]

Enjoy your holiday 😄 I still remember your video of flying to Japan in 2020 and the plane & airport was empty 😆

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thanks! Haha yeah that was last year May 2021 😁

[@Jesperstadi]

Bro thats my dream i fly with finnair so much but never to tokyo when i get older im gonna do it!

[@KerolsGames]

I will be boarding this exact flight! I didnt know it couldve been 9hours but because of russia its now that long! woah

[@kunaigayyavlogs]

When we come back to Finland from the Philippines, we also pack lots of foods from there 😆

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thanks for watching! Haha I know how you feel :)

[@yxcheah7215]

nice video.

[@user-qx8ie9qp7u]

Hello Daiki, I´m planning to travel with Finnair from Finland to Japan but to Tokyo. I´m afraid of flying and wonder how it was to fly through North Pole route, alot of turbulence? Low/close to mountains? Sorry for stupid questions XD It´s either that or through Dubai to Tokyo with Emirates but then i have to wait 5+ more hours XD, because i´m from Sweden.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

It's not a stupid question :) We didn't fly close to mountains, and I guess turbulence depends on the day, time and other conditions. They take a northern route or a southern route depending on the day. Enjoy!

[@alvexok5523]

Great video. Too bad it was cloudy overcast and you couldn't record scenery from the north pole area

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

True, maybe next time! Thanks for watching!

[@MarjoAnnikaArts]

Such a nice video, Daiki! I really enjoyed watching. It's so relaxing. And it's so interesting to see this flight over north pole, hehe! I saw the other comment about radiation when flying over north pole or the arctic circle in general but that really isn't anything a passenger should worry about at all in my opinion! (besides quite a lot of people live within the arctic circle all year long and don't have cancer). Anyway, super excited to see your videos from Japan! Enjoy ☺🌼

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thank you!😁 That's a good point, maybe I shouldn't be worried too much. Hope you also enjoy summer there!

[@annina134]

Oh my, that was a long flight! I'm scared of flying, but if I'm ever going to visit Japan, I need to get over it.. Nice to see you had a safe flight. 👍 Enjoy your visit. Looking forward to see videos from Japan.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thank you! Yes videos from Japan will come soon :)

[@Moi_81]

You can ask your doctor to give you sleeping pills so you can sleep the entire time. Plus that will help you to adjust to jet lag. You gotta go to Japan. My most favorite place on earth.

[@xihaohao]

Are you spending summer vacation in Japan? That's an expensive and long trip 😂, through north pole..... Have a wonderful vacation ahead.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thanks! I'm in Japan for three weeks :)

Just out of curiosity, did you pay for selecting your seat, or was it possible to select during check-in?

It was possible during the check-in.

[@Aidan_Au]

Safe flight, Daiki! Glad that you can visit home. It's a tragedy that the Russian airspace is still closed. I'd personally avoid any polar route because of radiation. If you can, please consider going through the South Europe route. Or even fly to Turkey/other South European countries first before flying to Nihon. There were news that flight attendants got cancer/leukemia after frequently flying polar routes/through the North Pole/the Arctic Circle. Anyways, I'm glad that Daiki is all the way home

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thanks for the comment :) That's interesting info! I should think about it next time.

[@annina134]

Interesting. I looked it up and yes, it can be more harmful for the flight crew because they fly over it more frequently, but what I red it doesn't affect so much for a passenger who is not so regulary flying over it.. 🤔 But cool, I learned something new today. ☺️👍

[@Aidan_Au]

@@annina134 it certainly does more harm to people/flight crews who fly frequently. But would you bet your life on it? When you're very sick, it would be too late. You only live once

[@annina134]

@@Aidan_Au of course it is a thing that must be considered.

Having Finland joined the NATO the Russian airspace will be closed for Finnair forever. The whole eastern trade is over, that is the price finns have to pay for their government decisions
