The issue is LAX and Finnair doesn't want to spend extra money to make it decent. Vast majority of LAX departing long haul flights have lousy food - in fact, probably the worst in the world. I have traveled extensively and LAX is my long-haul home base and I have never seen or eaten any airline food that's worse than LAX's catering.
@Originalman1442 жыл бұрын

Food on outbound flights tend to be better, than on flights back to an airlines base. For example, I flew KLM from Amsterdam, down to Kilimanjaro, and back about 10 days later. The food on the way down was better. I’ve also flown United from DEN-LHR and back as well, and it was true then, too.

@@schumi246 This is true of all airlines. The simple reason is that every airline designs its own menu, so at its home base, the catering company makes A LOT of those dishes, for all of those flights out of the base. That makes it cheaper, more consistent, and with the exact brand ingredients it was designed to have. At away airports all around the world the local caterers have to use local ingredients and only make the food for one or two flights a day (of that airline). They lack the experience, the economies of scale drive the prices up, and the local brands/ingredients don’t work as well together.
@_w_w_2 жыл бұрын
@@schumi246 It's not outbound or inbound. It's where the food is catered. US-catered food in general is pretty bad. The ONLY airport I think otherwise is Seattle. LAX is THE worst. United's catering out of SFO, IAH and EWR are super lousy, but on the return leg catered by the out-station's caterers, the food is 100% better. This is the most obvious when the flights leave Japan, Taiwan or France. The difference in meal quality and presentation is shockingly noticeable, even in economy. The sad thing is that flighst departing China, catered in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen are even better than the US. They actually hire foreign chefs in China from top schools and restaurants... If you can disconnect the culture aspect of a cuisine and just look at ingredient, taste and execution, even the Chinese caters are better than the Americans.

I've always liked Finnair. My best memory was when I was on one of my first trips to Europe and returning to Helsinki from Münich. We had a connecting flight leaving from Charles de Gaulle and our flight was not only late but we had to through a very rude and slow security check there. We were running really late, actually running to the gate, panting and sweating. Then the Finnair flight attendant welcomed us young, lost and exhausted lads with the warmest of smiles and said "you don't have to hurry anymore, we'll take you home". Those were just the right words and just awesome customer service.

Jeb, I'm sorry I'm just seeing this video now. I can not agree with you more. I flew Finnair for the first time last summer in business, HEL-LAX on the A350. Absolute best flying experience I ever had. Myself and several other pax arrived very delayed into HEL from FRA and the gate agents could not have been more pleasant, accommodating, and calming after many of us ran 20 minutes through the airport. They were waiting for us and weren't going to leave without us. The onboard experience was just as fantastic. I agree their drinking glasses are amazing, but I'm disappointed it doesn't seem you had their signature blueberry juice. It was delicious. That's all I drank the whole flight and I wanted to buy some to take home. Finnair is most definitely my new favorite and preferred airline for travel to Europe. Unfortunately, their schedule didn't work with mine this summer. I really hope their financial situation improves so I can fly with them again in the future.

Hi Jeb, welcome to the AY Club. I've flown them probably half-a-dozen times and, as an avid one-world supporter, they are one of my favourite LH airlines. There are a couple of reasons for this: 1. Their Business Class fares are usually quite reasonable - from Australia they tend to have decent RTW J prices towards Oct-Nov of each year 2. Their connections at HEL are great - usually can be as short as 55mins - and even if longer their Platinum-status Lounge in the non-Schengen transit zone is excellent. Also, their food offerings - while not quite as "exotic" as the days when they would serve reindeer - remain quite nordic. Given the general Finnish love of seafood - and the representation of that onboard - you may have to look for a new favourite long-haul for your shellfish issue!! Just joking, but I think you struck a little unlucky in that you were flying to Helsinki. AY seem to offer greater food choices ex HEL and they currently only appear to offer the ability to pre-book a J meal ex-HEL although you always have the special diet options available. Lastly, I was surprised at your description of the crew. I found them to be a little cool to start off with but are great at being able to size their customers and generally will thaw as the flight progresses. Again, welcome to one of the best-kept secrets: AY Long Haul Business Class!

I have been to Europe over 60 times, almost all from Seattle. I love the longer flight, especially in Business class. I can stretch out and enjoy seven or eight hours of sleep. Flying to Europe I am not there for the food or the service, I am there to sleep. The longer trip is not a major factor but is one factor of why I live in Seattle. Flying Business Class from the east coast, especially Boston or NYC, seems like a waste. Now, if I am flying Economy I would just like the agony to be over as quickly as possible. Finnair is starting service from Seattle to Helsinki this summer, so I am looking forward to that.

I am Swedish-American, and in my experience, in any of the five Scandinavian countries the largest (and longest) meal of the day is most often Breakfast. And it is usually set out as a Smorgasbord, even in my families home. Lunch is the second largest meal, then "Feeka" (afternoon coffee, similar to English 'High Tea'), making dinner or supper the smallest meal (unless one is going out). The first time my cousin served us a couple of thin pancakes for supper I was a little shocked, as well as starving until morning. But not as shocked as my cousin was when she visited us in the US and we took her out to her first dinner here. She couldn't eat much of it, and after that she ate very little lunch so she could more easily stomach a bigger dinner so as not to embarrass herself (very important to Swedes).

Nice video, Jeb! To answer your question about the long flight vs. flying to Europe from the east coast, when I lived in Los Angeles I flew from there to Europe many times with my children. They are dual nationals so there were many of these trips to see family. I chose non-stop flights back in those days because I figured breaking up the flight into two shorter stretches would make the overall trip longer with young ones. I flew a lot of different airlines over the years. I loved my FinnAir flight (awesome airline!) but my best experience was one KLM flight when the attendants offered to play with my then two-year-old from time to time. I swear I didn't ask them to do it! Btw, your breakfast looked good on FinnAir. My favorite breakfast was on a SwissAir flight. Amazingly fresh and delicious.

The one thing I find about airports is that they're not coeliac friendly. Buffets are a cross contamination hazard, if there are any normally safe options in it, and restaurants generally don't have the space to cook coeliac safe gluten free foods separately so don't even try. That was my experience the last time I flew anywhere anyway. I had to basically get packaged gluten free snacks in a shop if I wanted to eat anything while waiting for my flight. Further edit: I'm in Ireland so mainland Europe is a short haul on a narrow body for me. Longest flight I was on was 10hrs LHR to LUN (Lusaka, Zambia). I remember returning to Heathrow, we were 8th in a queue of 10 for landing so I got great views of London when we had to circle it several times. It probably added another hour to the flight. That was back in 2007. British Airways don't do that route anymore.
