Wow, what a find you are. I honestly can't remember when I appreciated a flight review as much as I did this one. Now I can't wait to watch some more. Thank you Shane for brightening up buy Sunday morning.

[@PlaneShane]

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. This was one of my all time favourite flights and I’m glad it translated well on screen. I’ve had to take a break for the last few months but thankfully back on track with some great flights coming up. Thanks for watching! Shane

[@colinrenfrew48]

Very nice video, with a good clear style.

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it and so appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching! Shane.

Nokka is a very nice restaurant. Good food and excellent wines. :)

@@andersmalmsten7266 Trying to get good food, wine, service, ambiance and location is what it’s all about. I can see why people love it. I’m looking forward to visiting again. Thanks for watching! Shane

A great report! I only started to subscribe to your channel recently. I find your reviews very professional, well filmed and edited, high quality resolution and informative and simple. Your presentations are a delight to watch and you, as a presenter, make the review the star rather than making it all about you. A lot of other reviewers could learn a thing or two from you! Keep up the great work! On another note, I have been considering flying FINNAIR to Europe from Sydney for my next trip. It means a little longer via Helsinki but I think it will be worth it and probably even warrants a stop over in Helsinki itself. The more I see about their business class the more impressed I am. Thanks again!

[@PlaneShane]

Firstly, thank you and welcome! Your kind words mean so much more than you realise. Trying to work out how to film, create, present, edit and KZbin is all new and it’s a lot harder than I ever imagined. Thankfully though, I’m happiest sitting in a window seat above the clouds, and I love sharing that. So again, thank you. Finnair is a quality consideration and if you’re looking for reward flights there’s some really good Finnair availability out of Asia right now with Qantas. I’ve been looking at flights myself so I can explore further. Good luck with your trip, come back and let us know how it went! Shane

I Havent Experience The New Cabin Jet,I Love The Blueberry Juice Aboard.Great Video And Info

[@PlaneShane]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching, I wish the Blueberry Juice was available here in Singapore ! Shane

Fantastic video - looking forward to flying on Finnair business soon.

[@PlaneShane]

Thanks James, I really appreciate the feedback. It’s a great product hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks for watching! Shane

Flying business class to Thailand in December, videos like this made me look at Finn Air and price was v v competitive

[@PlaneShane]

@@overpar9878 exploring travel on KZbin has always been one of my favourite things to do on a Saturday morning; unwinding with a cup of coffee.. Sounds like you got a great deal, enjoy Thailand and thanks for watching. Shane

[@tonytony3895]

Your presentation is highly interesting to watch. Thank you very much and take care 😊

[@PlaneShane]

Thank you. I really appreciate your feedback! Thanks for watching! Shane

I enjoyed watching your video… been to Helsinki airport many times, but never noticed it is as beautiful as in your video. So an easy subscriber))) PS when you return to Helsinki, check out the sauna in the platinum wing as well. Not quite the old one (choice of 3 different saunas, a plunge pool and, as a compliment, a view of a tarmac, but still a unique product, especially for a lengthy layover

[@PlaneShane]

Firstly, thank you - I truly appreciate you watching and taking the time to respond. I’m still learning the ropes of KZbin so the comments and feedback like yours help immensely. I will definitely try the sauna next time, although I’d love to have seen the old one now. Looking forward to having you along on more adventures, thanks again for watching! Shane

[@mikrokupu]

Thanks for the report, loved the editing! I like the new seat a lot, feels like a safe cocoon, the sound absorbing materials make the cabin very quiet. But yes, I fully understand why some passengers miss the recline option. On the HKG flights, normally all cabin crew is based in Hong Kong, they have a similar consept on the daily service to SIN. Personally I'm very happy Finnair use their widebodies (all have the new cabins) on short hauls too, typically 2x daily to LHR and also to AMS and MUC this summer season.

[@PlaneShane]

The A350 is a beautiful Aircraft to have this product on. It feels like the Airlounge is perfectly made for it. Widebodies on short haul routes are always my favourite to fly, and my long legs agree! Thanks for watching and sharing your expertise! Shane

[@Qacc6]

Quality review video!

[@PlaneShane]

Thank you! Some are a lot more fun to make, this one had a bit of everything. Thanks for watching! Shane.

[@vinayshende9867]

Great one.. The cutlery looks top notch. Flying this in September from Delhi-Helsinki-Delhi.. Excited to try this the first time

[@PlaneShane]

That’s a good trip! Everything is quality, even the tableware is distinctive, it’s a Finnish brand that they’ve worked with to match the aesthetic of the Airlounge. I love that it looks and feels different to every other Business Class. Thanks for watching, and enjoy your flights! Shane.

Were you going to Bangkok the screen said Hong Kong

[@PlaneShane]

Yes, back to Hong Kong. 🇭🇰 I was just looking at Bangkok flights with Finnair about 10 minutes ago incidentally.

[@dondychristianto783]

wait there is still snow in summer?

[@PlaneShane]

@@dondychristianto783 not typically in summer but you’ll find it in the North of Finland on the ground until May.

[@greynomadadventuresgna3648]

Hi Shane - when did you record this flight? We are doing same Flight in April next year and would love to experience snow as we are from Australia Cheers Dave

[@PlaneShane]

@@greynomadadventuresgna3648 Hey there! I think it was March so you may be in for a treat. The snow cover is typically thickest in the southern and central parts of Finland during March, and in northern Finland its thickest in April if you’re venturing further afield than Helsinki. I hope you have a phenomenal trip and thanks for watching! Shane

Nitpick 10:18 the Italian cheese is "mascarpone" (mas-car-po-ne), it sounded as if you pronounced it as "marscapone" (mars-ca-po-ne), swapping a few letters around. It's a common misspelling/mispronounciation.

[@PlaneShane]

Thank you! The inflection of my accent makes this sound even worse. Thanks for watching and for pointing this out! Shane

[@colors6692]

EUR 2,776 for one way...boy you were ripped off! I got return for less that EUR 2,500🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PlaneShane]

Yes, the cost of one-way tickets can be astronomical! It sounds like you got a good deal! Thankfully I didn’t have to pay cash, I paid with Qantas you points for this flight and it included a business flight on a little a321 from Paris too. Thanks for watching! Shane

[@JEH80]

A nice report, but am very underwhelmed by the Finnair product, I must say.

[@PlaneShane]

Thank you and thanks for watching, I appreciate the feedback! It certainly is a controversial product, what was your experience? I’m currently looking at another flight and am happy to take a closer look the next time I review it. Shane

[@John-bi1lv]

Not stunning at all. That seat hasn't gone over well for the carrier.

[@PlaneShane]

That’s interesting, I’ve only flown it a couple of times, but what was your experience?

[@Tuukkohakee]

How has it not gone well? Finnair made a profit last year even in their tough situation, their load factors are okay and they are able to have a modern, fairly competitive seat which weighs much less than a traditional seat. Of course it won’t be everyones cup of tea, but for Finnair it doesn’t feel like it has gone badly at all.
