[@chrisV8]

We booked flights Belgium to Thailand next year with Finnair based on this review.

[@AarezHasaan]

There are so many airline reviews on KZbin but the reason I watch nonstop Dan is because his videos are fun and he also does a comprehensive review. He shows everything, The seat, The lounge or catering

[@jedgeorge3485]

I like this and the fact that they are serene and calming

[@tomcole7688]

Innovative seat, great mocktails, delicious vegan meals (and not 2 servings of the same items), AND scented hot towels?!? How’d they ever get Dan to disembark? Great review!

I love Finnair, don’t mind at all flying business class from Singapore to any city in Europe. interior is soothing, service is good, food is refreshingly good. Lounge is relaxing. Cheaper than SQ. The most underrated airline.

I can only confirm this. I’ve flown this business class a few times now and the seat is amazing and super comfy. Top notch!

[@neilroberts2251]

Dan - you are letting out my little secret. From Australia, Finnair has always been the best value business class to Europe from Australia (code share with oneworld carrier via hkg, sin, bkk). It gives such easy access to locations in Europe, yes with an addition stop but the connection the in HEL is quick it’s really not a problem. Please don’t tell anyone else!!! Love your work

[@NonstopDan]

Hehehe sorry😂

[@aussiemetalkid00]

I'm stealing this for my return leg, haha.

[@user34274]

you are 100% right- always take finnair via tokyo to europe from australia. No complaints!

[@FinlandGuy747]

And now you can fly from Sydney to Europe with only Finnair.

[@play_kitkat]

I flew in this recently and I loved it. So much space and a full bed. I prefer this over reclining seats as I can sit however I like and again, a full bed! It’s like your own cocoon

[@erikdao]

Helsinki airport is easily one of the best airports I've been to. I love their luggage/security scanning machines. Everything is so smooth. And, on the other hand, we have Stockholm Arlanda :D

[@RiikkaEmilyh]

Thank you for informative and beautiful review. Finnair is my go-to airline and the fact that it's from my country, it makes me a proud Finn. I can't wait to try the new cabin 🇫🇮💙

[@mikrokupu]

You can try Finnair's Airlounge business seat on short haul routes too. They have daily widebodies on HEL-LHR route, plus in the coming summer season their HEL-AMS only gets widebodies. But you just need the check the seat maps carefully, their widebody fleet still has 3 different types of cabins.

[@mrh7758]

Yeah I flown that route twice and last time it was back to old Euro style business with economy seats just no one in the middle although the flight was not very busy. First time it was a proper business seat

[@sarov121]

I flew these recently from HND-HEL (13hrs) and I have to say it was the best and most comfortable sleep in business I've ever had on any airline. Anyone that knocks them needs to make sure they've tried them first on a long haul before forming an opinion.

[@davidcho1579]

I assume this was after the Russian airspace closure to EU airlines?

[@germaninsider7890]

that seat is really stunning. it solves so many problems and if as you say its comfy i am absolutly sold on the non recliner seat. and there is a costumized to the seat matraze! how amazing is that.

[@kevinlapthorn765]

Thanks Dan, another great video. Finnair is my favourite airline but I was concerned about the new seats. You have given them a good rap. Will be trying them out later this year Singapore to Helsinki.

[@NonstopDan]

Hope you get to try the new seats soon!

[@mrsanonymous1614]

I appreciate the lovely ( piano) music that fits so well with the amazing photos from the plane windows! Thank you Dan for a gentle, not overpowering sound track!

[@327bricks2]

This past summer I intentionally took Finnair to try this seat as well, was amazing. I built a couple day layover in to explore Helsinki and bring home some blueberry juice! Love Finnair!

[@kawangkwok5262]

Seriously, this business class exceeds my expectations. this seat could be the trend for other airlines to follow. Furthermore, the lounge is really top class. Of course cannot compare with Doha, Dubai or Singapore. But this is spacious, looks comfortable, and lots of functions to stays hours inside.

[@phbuss]

I actually booked a flight with Qatar and got rebooked to Finnair on ARN-DOH and I didn't prebook a seat but I could choose one of the Premium Economy seats without any charge 😁

[@phbuss]

PS. Dina videos är grymma!

[@hellamaxine]

same! i got assigned premium economy on DOH-ARN and the second time where i had to choose it on Finnairs website! such a goooood deal.

[@kemalahmed1515]

Great video Dan. I am really liking the style of videos you are producing at the moment! the best airline reviews out there in my opinion. I have flown this seat from LHR to HEL , but will try it long halu for the first time at the end of Jan as it is doing the HEL - SIN route. Looking forward to it very much. Unfortuanlety I think the Platinum wing is not open during my layover :(

[@KM-ss1if]

I flew Finnairs new business class (A330) in august HEL-NYC and I was blown away. The food was great, seat was so private and cosy and service was on point. Love Finnair!

[@james767]

I was lucky to try this from DFW to HEL and on a few LHR-HEL flights, and I have to say it is by far my favourite Business Class seat. The bed is perfectly flat for one, which is a thing that always bothered me with the old seats on Finnair a350s and the overall look of the cabin is just so classy and cosy. I am glad Finnair took a real risk with this seat and did not just go out and buy something to follow the crowd.

[@driveeurope]

This is such an amazing video. Really impressed with the quality.

[@spektrograf]

100% agree. I traveled for work several times on Finn Air. Hands down the most comfortable flights, seats, friendly and helpful crew. Also, love Helsinki airport-efficient, easy in and out, clean and easy to navigate.

[@wasineenoppakunthong9348]

1000% agree with you Dan. We have just traveled on Finnair over the holidays and they had amazing service in-flight, surprisingly the most comfortable business seats (I say surprising because they dont recline!!!) and the thoughts put into every details of their design. We traveled with our 5-year old and once the flight attendant overhears me tell our son about the cockpit, they invited him and the pilot greeted us. That will be an experience to remember for years to come for him! So kudos to Finnair!! P.s.: greetings from Bangkok!! we are also your biggest fan and watches all your videos. Looking foreard to your next destinations!

[@finnurth]

This kind of 1-2-1 configuration is really generous and something one would expect in 1st class, not Business class of most airlines. On top of that, the Business class tickets of Finnair are actually cheap compared to Business class tickets of other airlines.

[@DanielleDoherty]

I was really skeptical about the non-reclining but impressed that it does actually turn into a "bed"! I really love how cozy it looks with all the dark fabric. Almost looks like the night sky. Great video, as always!

[@Enoxix.]

Wow! This business class is absolutely amazing!

[@vatslavr]

Just flew with Finnair business class yesterday, CPH-DOH, the most UNCOMFORTABLE seats I have ever tried.

[@SH-fq6vu]

Cant wait. Taking the whole family LHR>HEL>ICN and back shortly, quite excited about this new cabin. Looks fantastic.

[@da480]

Agree. Def my favourite too. Riding under the radar too. Under estimated among general public.

[@bensmithson1773]

Finnair is a really classy operation and I loved the innovation of this new seat. Helsinki is a joy to transit. SAS are very second rate in comparison to Finnair.

[@ropblu3]

I see you changing your style. It feels like a TV show instead of a vlog/review . Love it!!

[@mrh7758]

I’ve flown it and overall very good with one caveat - when using it as a bed there are two seat belts and neither is in a particularly great position from my perspective if you use them

[@NonstopDan]

I agree about that!

[@arielfrancisleathem3280]

Another great video Dan. Have been intrigued by this seat since it's unveiling and I'm glad to hear it lives up to the hype. Also did anyone else notice the foot in the cabin shot at 16:41

[@ottoarkadiuszbattistagadem785]

The amount of bluberry juice Dan consumed on this flight 😅😅😅

[@M158-o3x]

I am a frequent Finnair user and find the service generally excellent but slightly different from your review. 1. The EXCELLENT Platinum lounge closes around 6pm (or did until December 2022) so there is no access for any any evening departures from HEL. 2. The buffet in the business lounge section, from my experience is certainly NOT to the same standard as the Platinum lounge and generally looks very unappetising. 3. You were lucky with the wifi. Cost is not so important to me as the speed/connectivity. Very hit and miss 4. Now my biggest gripe with Finnair is on the evening departures. Lights dimmed for take office then once airborne the lights come on full blast. Cabin crew will turn down light intensity if asked. The seat is very innovative and comfortable. The charging points do work and overall, it remains my airline of choice to the Far East, especially as the flight times have now increased dramatically with having to go south before turning left at Romania. Means a great long nights sleep. Great review as always NSD

[@jjb890814]

I think I saw you early morning in Haneda today, too shy to say hi but was really good to see you it was like a celebrity encounter!! :) have a safe trip Dan I wanted to say thanks for all you do.

[@neresq]

I was so looking forward to those new business class seats for our nonstop from MIA to HEL last month. Unfortunately, our plane had not been retrofitted with the new seats. The "old" seats were comfy enough, but we were still so disappointed. We also had a significant delay out of MIA (due to a mechanical failure of CDG-bound plane which led them to merge those pax into our flight) which caused us to miss our connection in HEL to ARN even though flight crew and ground staff said they were holding the flight for us. They didn't - - the gate closed literally as we got there and the plane's jetway was still fully connected. We were put on a flight departing 90 minutes later, but by the time it was all straightened out, there wasn't even enough time to get to the lounge. Oh -- and we had a family of 4 with two children under 3 years of age (one an infant) in Business Class (right across from us). The infant screamed for 7 hours of the flight (which departed close to midnight) and the parents dealt with it by turning on all their lights, reading aloud to him and playing cartoons on the TV screen. FA's did/said nothing to them while 40 other people suffered. Nonetheless, I do agree that the Finnair experience is still better than many others.

[@larskeizer]

Don't forget to claim your €600 compensation per pax for the delay from Finnair ;) It's really easy to get

[@neresq]

@@larskeizer I checked and seems delay was not long enough. Also, we were flying on codeshare miles from AA. I did file claims but got only got an apology as response.

[@basti9522]

@@neresq Oh no, a toddler on _your_ expensive flight around the globe? What a shame - eager to hear what the FA should've done about it other then throwing it out. Society really unlearned how to treat each other as soon as a discrete amount of money is involved.
