Finnair A330 Business Class Flight Review

It's time to jump back on board Finnair - this time on the Airbus A330 in business class on a flight from Helsinki to Osaka.
This Finnair business class flight review covers the Finnair business class lounge in Helsinki, boarding, taxi, take off and the wonderful onboard service from the Finnair flight crew. I also cover the business class menu, the in-flight meals, amenities kit and the Finnair business class seat on the A330 which converts into a fully flat bed.

Dennis you are one of those dying breeds who can do long stretches of talking without faltering and micro-cutting everything. Makes your videos very pleasant to watch.

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

Thanks Ben - sometimes it take a few too many takes!!

[@slundal]

Could not agree more!

[@OmegaFlightmaster]

Of all flight reviewers I enjoy Dennis the most. Simple, has a great voice to listen to, and overall pleasant videos.

[@johnstaf]

That's true actually!

[@Albanianguy9]

I firmly believe that Dennis deserves his own show. What a character and so spontaneous.

[@elainehudson2478]

Love the glassware on Finnair! Looked like a fantastic flight. Great review!

[@oscarchicalucena7980]

Between 14:30 to 17:00 all flights from Europe with Passengers connecting to Asia, and all flights from Asia with passengers connecting to Europe arrive. For this reason, the lounge is super packed. At 17:00 all the connecting passengers have their flights connecting either Europe or Asia.

[@rossgwelsh]

Dennis is now "officially" my favourite travel vloger. Great commentary always, and a great factual and witty commentary on his travels. I have found his videos informative and entertaining and will continue to look forward to his next contribution. Remember to add a splash of water to your whisky to release the bouquet and flavour though!! We (my wife & I) are avid flyers, taking advantage of frequent flyer programs to fly first class whenever possible and use Dennis' vlogs to guide us on the best possible airlines and routes. Cheers Dennis and keep up the good work.

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

Thanks Ross, really appreciate the lovely comments and support. Thanks for the tip re the whisky - will give it a go at home here.

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

[@dvebmb]

The best plane reviewer on KZbin. No one else comes close.

[@rommama]

Finnair's cabin designs always make you feel so welcoming and comfortable.

[@adamnoble3546]

I really enjoy your comprehensive no nonsense reviews and have , in fact , chosen certain airlines on the strength of your reviews and have not been disappointed. Thank you for taking the time to produce such fantastic reviews, I know it is not anywhere near as easy as you make it look. Well done

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

Thanks Adam, really appreciate your nice comments and support. Happy Travels. cheers D

[@tccco9738]

Great video and very nice shirt. I often listen to your videos at work ( without watching them) when I’m at my desk and feeling a bit stressed. As the intro and your great narration gets me excited about my upcoming trips. I wish you all the success. Keep up the great work

[@gunnydafoxx]

I don't understand why you only have 48k subscribers! Your flight reviews are the best that I've seen!

[@harrybarodawala3588]

Thank you so much for posting these absolutely amazing videos, Mr. Bunnik! it is an absolute pleasure to watch you in each video in a different part of the world and we appreciate the lengths and time you take off from your trip to film your experience for us :D

[@willjones7830]

Haven’t even watched the video but I know it will be quality. Love your work Dennis

[@stahchild]

I love how you include the information about your travel in the description box (like the distance and time, date and type of plane etc). I always click on that first so I can get some idea of your travel.

[@jacobschalit4848]

I’m a flight attendant and I’ve now asked my passengers “would you like a drink from the bar?” Thanks for the tip! Hope to catch you on one of my flights someday! “Cheers, here’s to a great flight.”

[@GeneralKenobi-mz9ig]

As always Dennis you always perform above the rest of the channels on KZbin! Keep up the amazing work!

[@markcerniauskas3349]

Another great video. I flew Finnair last year and had a wonderful experiance. Keep up the amazing work Dennis. Keep living the dream mate

[@dancestuffdiva3571]

Seriously?! PINE flavored ice cream?! COOL! Thanks for a great video series! I don't travel - but do live vicariously thru your excellent videos! Thanks Mr. Dennis!

[@ryanfreeman9329]

I really enjoy your reviews on many airlines, Dennis! love the humour too. Thank you!

[@missVmilne]

Terrific report. So enjoyed your commentary...a highlight of course is your dry humour and happy delivery. Thanks for sharing. I might have to watch again for Santa's sake 🦌

[@Rockingham76]

Love your videos Dennis! It's all really professionally done and can't beat a bit of humour now and again!

[@defup]

With regards to the footage of the engine on the Japan Airline’s aircraft, I must say it is a good sign, for the reason that the engineers are addressing a problem immediately and not waiting until they get to maintenance hub.

[@lvandes4917]

Really love your video’s. It gives me the feeling as if I am flying myself. You have a very natural way of presenting and that make the video’s very pleasant to watch. Thank you for sharing your travels. 😘🇳🇱

[@acikoci]

Hi Dennis! Thanks for featuring Finnair again. I can see from your videos, that Finnair has finally upped their Business Class food service. No more trays in business class, it seems. The Finnish Gin they serve is also very nice, and I'm happy you like it. Finnair has some very nice flight attendants, and it would be nice to see some of them in your videos, too. Looking forward to my Finnair travels in July :) Keep the videos coming! Thanks :)

[@robertmansfield2856]

Another great video Dennis. I always look forward to watching your uploads, as they are very informative and straight to the point.

[@HaggisandScotch]

Nice Review on the Flight . Noticed the menu is aligned with keeping travelers hydrated during their time on Board.

[@abhisekkhadanga1829]

Your videos do bring a smile on my tired face. Cheers your work mate.

[@panoytconsolegod592]

Awesome video, I have just recently found you channel and I can’t stop watching! Thanks Dennis 👍👌💯

[@BlakeEdgington]

Thanks as always for sharing your experience. Your pieces to camera are very smooth, it takes me several attempts!

[@falconnnn5]

Blake Edgington - Airborne I hear you

[@MarcusFeyFey]

Dennis, a fantastic review once again! Only the breakfast would require a few more seconds maybe. Thanks a lot for you quality videos!

[@larrydamelio3975]

You are so very good at giving us an airline review. Enjoy your sense of humor. Keep the videos coming! Too bad no pajamas! We know how you like them! Maybe next time!

[@aidannolan5470]

Fantastic Videos! Always very well put together, really enjoyable to watch, informative and very detailed! Keep up the good work!

[@stevenreeves2752]

Always great to see one of your flight reviews - keep up the good work! Happy travels!

[@blaqleopardplanespotting2435]

Nice job. It makes me really happy when I see one of your videos pop up on my notifications:)

[@andysorensen1737]

Love those slippers! My hometown had a Marimekko store when I was growing up so it was a fun trip down memory lane looking at their fun designs.

[@JaydenWong]

Awesome video! Love your humour throughout the video! The Helsinki lounge is incredibly busy because nearly all Finnair's Asian flights leave at the same time. I was flying Helsinki to London last year. When I entered the lounge, there was virtually no seat available, but then in 30 minutes nearly everyone disappeared!

[@Edgetravelguy]

Another great video. Informative, entertaining & fast moving.Thanks,

[@SRDhain]

Always look forward to your videos Dennis, and this one was excellent as usual. Wish I could do one of these with you, as your quality control & editing are top notch. 👍

[@danielwardin414]

Subscribed last week having seen about half a dozen of your videos. I am charmed. Regards.

[@alextaylor5808]

Great video like always Dennis, can’t wait for your next one, keep up the great work.

[@kirstenrubberducky]

Haha that Santa joke killed me! Always a pleasure to see a new video of yours in the subscription box.

[@SamDueled]

Great video as always! I'll be flying the Lufthansa short haul and Air Canada transatlantic business classes in the future, hope they're good!

[@novvelski714]

Amazing flight review since I’m from Finland. Going to fly the a330 business class soon and see if I like it. Favourite youtuber

[@limesaviation2602]

Travel kid Lmao Noel I found you lololol

[@nicklassutinen7149]

Amazing video! Nice to see you fly Finnair! And btw, Finnair does have wi-fi on all of its A330's.👍🏻

[@jadonheath7179]

Another fantastic review Dennis!!!

[@isaacwood4071]

Been looking forward to this video!

[@iltc9734]

Struth ! No Pyjamas? Oh well... food looked great. thank you for letting me vicariously travel where I cannot go, do things I cannot at the moment afford, and sharing the whole thing with soothing, interesting, and laconic expertise. I enjoy your videos immensely, and I think you are doing something unusually great even though on the surface it may seem very simple. Cheers. Simon.

[@mitchellgibbs1465]

Another great video Dennis! I've clicked the bell icon so I never miss a video of yours!

[@philipguacci6452]

I really like your travel videos. I have not done a long haul or jet lag for some time. Been traveling within Australia. The passport is dusty and unused. Glad to watch you live the dream. Cheers.

[@stevehofmaster7489]

Great video,I thought the service on Finnair looked just excellent,very nice ride!

[@mikrokupu]

Thanks for the TR, a high quality once again! This summer Finnair fly A350 to KIX, their A333 cabins will get a face lift but it takes some time unfortunately. The pine ice cream "1917" celebrates Finland's 100y of independence, Jymy is a great little ice cream maker. Little trivia: Finns eat more ice cream per head than any other Europeans, Aussies are ahead of us though ;)

[@TheWheelieBagWanderer]

Great review, and a great product. I don't know why, but I love getting aircraft with some special livery. Must be an AVGeek thing I guess! Loved the shots of the other Finnair aircraft going to Shanghai, too. Epic!

[@slundal]

Really cool. Was hoping you would do the A330 on finnair since I've flown it myself a few times also from Helsinki - Osaka (and back). I'm bit of picky eater and never really liked the finnair menu but I had the fortune to ride in the thrones seat once and it was glorious experience. :)

[@alexanderpannu2598]

Dennis pls do perth to London in qantas business class. Ive been dying to see you do it.

[@karlp8484]

The Northern route. Yes. Over the North Pole, down towards Alaska and then onto Japan. It is a shorter route. Finnair looks great, I really like the bright cabin decor and the food looked simple but tasty.

[@karlosbricks2413]

yeah, finnair were one of the first to bypass the stop in anchorage with a direct flight to tokyo

[@wloffblizz]

It really was a stroke of genius for Finnair and Finavia to start focusing more on the Asian connection a few years back. Finland is in a pretty remote northern corner as far as Europe is concerned, but at the same time it means Helsinki really is the closest major airport to East Asia when you go over the North Pole.

[@Alfextreme007]

Looks fantastic and very comfortable! I have a One World Alliance account. In the future, I will fly Business Class with Finnair and I will be able to collect loads of frequent flyer miles for my One World Alliance account.

[@twobins2060]

Always look forward to a new DB video.

[@Holiday_Mike007]

Hi Dennis. As per usual a very professional and informative video. I recently travelled on an A330 from Singapore to BKK. I found the seats older and the noise noticably louder, especially after travelling from London on SIA A380. I am thinking of travelling on Finnair to BKK via Helsinki as I want to try their A350 which you reviewed recently. I have tried nearly all the airlines to BKK from LHR in both First and Business. Thanks also for the heads up recommending Paul Stewart which I recently subscribed to.

[@SOIV1000]

Great informative video! Greetings from Sweden 🙋🏻‍♀️🇸🇪

[@wintdkyo]

That zoom on the aircraft!

[@oldmanc2]

4:15 "Stop playing with my seats!"

[@felsner1]

I propose a drinking game: have a shot every time Dennis says "Here's to a grrreat flight," "Gin & Tonic," "pajama," "is laid out in a [n.n.] configuration," and "the seat converts to a fully-flat bed." :-D

[@vuurwerkbeatle]

Thanks for the excellent flight review!

[@Coolsomeone234]

Can't wait for your Air new Zealand Video!

[@falconnnn5]

The Finnair A350 was definitely better, but this isn't bad as well. Awesome video. Keep up the good work, sir!

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

That food looks amazing and the interior s wonderfully light and airy it seems.

[@Coombsi]

watching this, I get so excited for our flight from Helsinki to Osaka in September.

[@chrisa6385]

Nice review, once again! Had the pleasure of flying the “thrown” seat on the A340 a couple of years ago. It was a great experience! Leg room on the thrown seat was somewhat limited (I’m tall). That was my only complaint and the price was on par with premium economy on other airlines.

[@demoncat9662]

I know you only do airline reviews, but i would LOVE to see you review The Ghan!

[@Whenitraveltheworld]

I'm the same with you about buying things at the airport, though i'm surprised you did not go for any of the Lapponia, a very popular drink. I also agree with you on that lounge, both are always pretty packed. I can't believe how empty the business class cabin was, interesting. The food looked great and I would eat most of it. And also great capture of the other Finnair aircraft, your camera has a pretty amazing zoom. Great video Dennis.

[@mikrokupu]

Yes Finnair lounges at HEL are packed in the mornings and afternoons, outside these hours there is plenty of room usually. There are long haul flights departing to HKG and BKK later in evening, those lounges are peaceful then.

[@AndrewHazelleTravels]

Santa will nvr visit u again 😂😂 guess this has the same throne seating as MH Business Class

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

haha - it's important to keep Santa happy! Yes it's the same sort of seating MH have on their A330 - throne seat is good for daytime flights because you've got heaps of space but limited foot room when in bed mode.

[@arishapiro9653]

Another quality video mate, keep it up

[@goodevening4616]

Good pragmatic review , no waffle as you can sometimes get with some other reviewers whose videos can seem be longer than the actual flight

[@colinmannutube]

A great review as always, thanks

[@maniacmiler]

The food choices look great. Love those glasses as well.

[@sankimalu]

Fantastic as always... I think Finnair more than made up for the lack of pyjamas with those slippers. Pretty stylish! I could see myself sauntering through a connecting airport in those...

[@elliottwilford6457]

Lol did that steward tell you off for going seat to seat?? You looked guilty lol!! Another great vid keep it up mate 👍🏻

[@tccco9738]

Elliott Wilford I thought the steward was kinda asking why are you seat hopping.

[@elliottwilford6457]

Juliet Williamson I was joking 🙃

[@karlosbricks2413]

I actually thought the steward asked if he wanted to to sleep, and if so, he'd be willing to convert the seat in to a bed for him.

[@elliottwilford6457]

KarlosBricks I was just trying to make a joke nothing more 👍🏻

[@dostsei]

For me while watching your video: Lounge - 5/5 Boarding - 5/5 Cabin Overall - 5/5 Amenity Kit - 4/5 Food - 4/5 IFE - 3/5 Toilets - 0 Crew - 4/5 Total - 30/40 Overall - 3.8/5 Nice video Sir! Hope you could review Philippine Airlines soon. 🙂

[@brucie-of-bangor528]

Dennis, I noticed the gravalax entree had been matched up with Devils Corner Riesling from te=he east coast of Tasmania, a bit of Australia in Scandinavia.

[@mytravelogue8323]

Another great review!

[@johnhorton5022]

nice work as usual Dennis

[@michaelgask]

loved you trying out all the seats... 😂 It looks a great cabin (even if it's slightly older) and food... looks like a great flight all round... shame the lounge was so busy... I think that more and more airlines are finding that their premium lounges are busier and busier... is that because more people are flying more than ever now, so attaining premium status?

[@oscarfriis7118]

What a review keep up👍🏻😊 greetings from Denmark❤️

[@Flyingscotsman218]

Another Great Video mate!

[@jeremysoohoo5174]

I will be going to Australia soon and I am your no.1 fan!

[@piptraucnieks5598]

Didn’t realise there was such a good service toOsaka from Helsinki. Might try it next time.

[@sandysmith9406]

You suggest seat L for single business travellers. I was thinking "throne" seat 8A. (front row of small cabin). I'm leaving next week, so would appreciate your feedback. Love the vids!

[@baswienen4477]

Welcome aboard, here's to a great flight. Vintage Dennis Bunnik!

[@louier9033]

I always look forward to seeing your next video

[@MH_1-9-9-6]

Hey Dennis , would you consider trying out BA business again now they’ve introduced new catering and bedding on selected routes?

[@ianhamilton396]

Given the lack of pyjamas, I think you now realise the missed opportunity of the Reindeer Pelt! Chestnuts roasting on an open fire up at Bunnik Travels at 35k' and an excellent gift for your employee of the month when the flight was over. I'm curious as hell though as to what the jobsworth in the vis vest had in the spray bottle at boarding. This frightens me......dead Reindeer ?? Nice one as usual.

[@mickmouse5715]

Many thanks for the info.as i taking my first biz class flight with Finnair soon.

[@eSportDjango]

Thanks for the review!

[@wiatr152]

i love your videos Dennis keep on making more :D

[@ericthire9106]

belle vidéo de cette superbe compagnie merci beaucoup

[@ph89787]

Oh a bit of trivia for you. The engines used by the A330 on your flight. Are the same ones used by Qantas’s fleet.

[@davidcasper444]

Great video. Thank you for sharing

[@frisbeeeater]

Dennis is such a stud

[@jodidoherty4932]

Go on Dennis, ya good thing! Love the vids...

[@vxnqu1sh177]

could you please try the new delta one suites on the a350. I would really like to know what your thoughts on their new hard product is and how you think it faces up against American's premium product. also your videos are absolutely fantastic and I have been a subscriber since 8k.

[@tissot233]

Finnair Lounge has been cramped for a while not. It's simply too small for the crows travelling via HEL. Helsinki airport has a big expansions going at the moment and I hope we will get new Finnair Lounge then.
