"low cost airlines had better seats"

(France)

Finnair Embaer seats are worse than Airbus seats I already tested. Even low cost airlines had better seats. The situation is worst than before where Finnair used only Airbus and proposed meals, drinks, TV on board and lugages included in the tickets. Now none of this service exist any more, so I would prefer flying on low cost companies like Norwegian and free Wifi on board, and Tv screens.

"unable to stretch out legs straight"

(United Kingdom)

Helsinki to Singapore with Finnair. Paid extra for economy plus seats with "extra leg room" as my husband is almost 6ft and struggles to get comfy. Our seats 21J/K were just behind the partition separating business class and economy. My husbands knees touched the partition and he was unable to stretch out his legs straight, which he can usaully do in a normal seat. Very disappointed these seats can be sold as extra leg room. On our return journey the passengers in these seats also complained about the leg room to the air hostess who said it wasnt the first time she had heard this.

"the least comfortable long haul flight"

(Australia)

We flew from Singapore to Helsinki in and had the least comfortable long haul flight I've ever taken. The chairs were insufficiently upholstered narrow and the arms rests too were insufficiently upholstered and narrow. I was on an aisle seat and my elbow was repeatedly jogged by folks walking down the aisle. I got pins and needles from being so cramped and I'm only 163cm. My daughter joked that the pillows were just Marimekko pillow slips they were flat and did little to offer any support If you choose Finnair be sure to take a travel pillow and ask for several pillows and blankets to try and prop your arms and provide lumbar support. I'm a pretty fit person and got up several times to stretch but I did myself nerve damage from being so cramped I worry how it would affect less robust people. I asked for a glass of water twice from stewards and was ignored my daughter asked not to be woken for meals after the first time she was woken for a meal and the stewards awoke her again. The chocolate wafers they had in the galley were I hung out helping myself to waters were pretty nice though.

"no leg room at all"

(Finland)

London to Helsinki after long flight from Miami was the most terrible experience for me as tall passenger. We tried to book exit seats because I am nearly 6.3 (190cm) tall but not succeeded. Then we got seats from row 23. Plane was full and no way to get other seats. No leg room at all. Knees were locked to front seat and when passenger sitting on front seat reclined it pain in my legs was terrible. I couldn't move anywhere and no way to put tray down at all. Seats are so narrow that I even couldn't turn sideways to help my position.

"very packed flight"

(Germany)

If you are over 5 feet 9 inches tall flying Finnair on a long-haul flight is not for you! I'm 6ft 4 and I had to contend for a cramp hard seat for more than 9 hours in very packed flight from Helsinki to Osaka. There were only 3 toilets for over 200 people in the economy class.

"no recline at all"

(Finland)

BKK-HEL. Booked Seats 33 A/C for me and my son. Had to pay for this as Finnair now charges for seat reservations. When we got to our seat we found it up against a bulkhead and no recline at all!. The cabin purser said that this was always a problem and that these two seats had no recline. In fact they seemed specially made seats and had no recline button. When the person in front then reclined their seat it made for the most uncomfortable 10.5 hours in my life.

"seats in economy are very uncomfortable"

(Sweden)

The seats in economy are very uncomfortable. Even if the pitch is not to bad it is something with the construction of the seats that makes impossible to stretch your legs.

"legroom was poorest I have ever seen"

(Finland)

Route was Peking - Helsinki and legroom was poorest I have ever seen in Finnair airplanes. For 190 cm man legroom was totally impossible. Is this just for Asian routes or new practice of Finnair?

"more comfortable than it first looked"

(Finland)

The new thin Recaro-seat was much more comfortable than it first looked the leg room was good even for a tallish guy like me. The wide screen personal TV was easy to see and use.
