Finnair A330 Business Class - Helsinki to Beijing

Finland's Flag Carrier, Finnair, operates an A330 from it's hub in Helsinki to Beijing. I went had the pleasure of experiencing their business class product on this flight, and have thus made an exhaustive film about the experience and journey. Our route has us flying through Russia's Siberian Corridor, a flight path only a select few carriers have the privilege of operating above. This 8 hour overnight flight allowed me to try out the flatbed as well the full extent of Finnair's long-haul lounge and on-board service.
I had originally booked this flight when it was scheduled to be serviced by an Airbus A350, but, for better or worse, a plane change resulted in us taking an A330 instead.

Your humour is very dry and quick. :-) You get a thumbs up from me and I subscribed. Thank you for your very entertaining video!

[@PneumaNoose]

Awww! I saw marimekko and moomins at 5:22! God I miss Finland! I haven’t been to my mother’s homeland since I was 12 and I hope to return someday before I die. It’s the most beautiful, peaceful and happy country. I’m so proud to be Finnish 🇫🇮

[@CurvedGD]

What are your recommendations of things to do when visiting Helsinki, Finland is on my bucket list! 🇫🇮

[@martingodske3301]

The best flight I have had been on is with Finnair on their A350 (OH-LWL). The aircraft comfort was amazing and the service was fantastic. I have been on Emirates A380 and 777 many times, and I have been with Singapore, Thai and SAS. And Finnair have been my best experience overall. Btw, I'm from Denmark 😁

[@JNCGTravels]

Awesome! It sounds like you've had a good time!

[@VicariousVoyager]

We had a great time, thanks!

[@wheatwild]

Another great video, VV. I love the animations you create for the flights, airports and terminals. Really cool. Thanks, bud.

[@JoshDoesTravel]

12:11 Take that statement out of context

[@suunto61]

Yeah. I paused right then looking for these comments.

[@mikecondon9576]

I like your style and the fact that you do not take yourself too seriously. I look forward to seeing more of your productions.

[@blackholedweller]

Your review tops most of the those avgeek reviewers with more than 100k subs. Honestly. Well done and keep it up. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@UmairActorModel]

“Shoe shine shoe shine shoe shine” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 👏🏽

[@thindarella]

We always used to fly with Finnair, from Berlin, over Helsinki to Seoul. I always really enjoyed the flights with them and hopefully I can make that trip next year again. ☺️

[@pakkanen3328]

Just found this channel and wow! This was very relaxing to watch. Keep up The good work!!

[@icy8963]

Thank you for reviewing Finnair ☺️ as a finnish person i'd love to see more of Finnair reviews because they're interesting in my point and when its about our flag carrier it means more for us finnish people! thank you again

[@MPDLR]

Oh christ he's awesome. I love the linguistics and subtle comments and humor......

[@autopilotceramics]

So much to love in this video... indeed in all of them. I look forward to more! Bravo.

[@user-xl4tp6vs4f]

Russia.. more Russia.. more Russia... Mongolia.. Inner Mongolia... 😂🤣 Detailed flight route.

[@Ijvoyse]

I love your humor ! I have just recently stumbled across your channel during a late night you tube binge, and I woke up my partner as I was trying to stifle a giggle and accidentally chuckled out loud!! Lol. Looking forward to watching more..

[@RoyalMela]

Helsinki has currently quite many bus gates, because the plane gate areas are going through major renovations. Heavies never are bus gates when all gates are operational.

[@0sireion]

I've been binge-watching your very enjoyable and instructive videos. I've forgotten in which one early on you said it. You successfully and appropriately used the word "vapid"! I think you and I are the only humans left on the planet who know the word and aren't afraid to use it. However, when I use it, it is with a picante venom-......that is, if salsa would ever be flavoured with a neuro-toxin. While my Tex-Mex friends have always fed me safely and well, there may be a venomous salsa out there....

[@franklinloo2160]

Hi.. Your review are way better than Sam Chui. You are more personal and very detailed in explaining things which we all love and appreciate. Plus your voice are way better than some famous and sarcastic bloggers/Vloggers whatever you call it. 😊😎 Thank you.

[@ltagames01]

Sam chui isnt a reviewer anymore

[@khooster]

You have excellent pacing and a good narrating voice. I actually appreciate it much relative to one or two other Asian airline youtubers. Keep it up! 😁

[@IScreamer]

Cough....Sam-cough-Ch--ough

[@rickv5617]

I have become a fan. Your videos are great, your sense of humor is brilliant. Cannot wait for more videos. In the meantime I'm going to watch all your previous videos. Great stuff man

[@jonathancuesta3]

Sense of humor = 10/10 would recommend this channel

[@adnanpitafi]

Sense of humor... is indeed the reason I started watching your channel

[@JB-jj1ne]

I like your reviews, keep up the great work. We are trying the SWISS F class this summer.

Aw man, the Finnair lounge! Can't wait to regain my oneworld Sapphire status so I can visit lounges like that again, as I did my first time in Helsinki. - Red

[@mikrokupu]

I'm curious to see the new lounges. The new Premium lounge has got positive reviews, the Business lounge is partly under construction still still but looking good. I like the desing, Nordic style with a new twist.

[@VicariousVoyager]

Here are my personal criteria in descending order of importance when it comes to lounges: 1) Shower 2) Sleeping room 3) Food 4) Shoe Shine Machine.

Just so you know, as I make my way through your videos, whenever you make some really stupid joke (like shoe shine shoe shine shoe shine), I laugh to myself and promptly remember to 'like' your video. Use that information however you see fit. lol

Had my upcoming Finnair flight HEL-LHR on the a350 swapped for an a330. Qatar pulled the same move with the same aircraft on my DOH-SIN trip. Those a350s are proving to be pretty elusive for me.

I'm obsessed with this video -- even more so with the narration. Cheers!

[@lalli69]

Quote from Finnair website... Need more time to focus or rest? You may choose an Express meal that is served shortly after take-off. Express meals are available on selected long-haul flights and cannot be selected in advance. Please inquire about the Express meal option with the flight crew after boarding.

[@ussyicheng1224]

Great channel! High production quality, excited to see your new videos

[@thebytokonwanderer1011]

This channel deserves more views and million subs.

[@jcbaily5559]

Though I enjoyed your video, once again, I am not impressed with the food service, and this was 2 years ago, so imagine what it would be today. I might have to reconsider flying Business Class in the future! Thanks again for a job well done!

[@user-dc4bl1cu2k]

Very detailed trip report. I was right to believe Finnair outclasses North American airliners which are third world. Although I personally think the western breakfast looks much appetizing than the Asian one and the dinner. And yeah I also think the Airbus 350 is much cooler than the Airbus 330.

[@cynthiagrayson7944]

An excellent overview. I think I’ll try Finnair.

[@bayron1204]

Dear, if I may add something to your comments. This is regarding to your judgment Marimekko design amenity kits and blankets. In a humorous way you mentioned that this company is keeping up the 60s spirit for 50 years. Check them out they have a different approach on design. It is all about nature and sustainability. Speaking of sustainability the Glas you drank out of.... Again a design originated from Finn air’s Inaugural flight to New York... Seems to be a tradition. Check it out 🤗
