Finnair

Singapore to Helsinki on a lie flat seat less room and a bit hard to get to sleep on as you keep sliding down towards the end compared to Qantas A380. Nice pillow and duvet though. Food reasonable and a nice touch being able to access the menu online before the flight and make your selection. Flight attendants very friendly and would give other airlines a run for their money. Helsinki-London are all economy seats however business class have the middle seat of 3 blocked out giving you a bit of extra room. Nice lounge in Helsinki. Return flight delayed out of Heathrow due to fog and with only 40 minutes between the arrival from London and next leg to Singapore. This was a bit of a worry but in the end it was not a problem as the Singapore leg waited for passengers from London to arrive. Didn't use the AVOD. Finnair gives value for money and when full flat seats in Business class are implemented it will be better.

BKK-HEL return. Flights punctual. New business class product outstanding - full flatbed seat with a lot space around it plus aisle access for all even window seats without a herringbone layout. Crew very pleasant and attentive. My only reservations were the seat cushions which I found too firm and the AVOD selection which was rather restrictive - not as good as economy on the best carriers. On the return leg I did not have time for the buffet dinner in the lounge but it did not appear to be very extensive. On the basis of other reports I had expect only a light meal on the plane but in fact a full dinner was served.

Service good but legroom poor. Not enough food served on long hauls. Recently flew three long hauls and landed very hungry on each of them. Poor entertainment choices

HKG-HEL Economy class with comfortable seat and good leg space friendly FA's. With an hour delayed but still arrived in HEL on time for transfer. A bottle of water was provided when boarding. A very good inflight entertainment system with lots movies and music. Return flight from HEL only provided cold breakfast with no choice was a disappointment. Overall it was a good fly experience and would like to fly Finnair again.

LHR-SIN via HEL. A journey of 2 halves. Arrived early and used Cathay First lounge as Gold BA. First leg to HEL was on 320 with good meal and service transfer on arrival easy and lounge impressive although you have to ask for alcoholic drinks. Also offered free use of the Spa which was good. Boarding the SIN leg was painless and service onboard old style but First Class. A340 had the lie flat beds which are okay but they really need their new product on this route. The return was chaotic late boarding and poor service. The IFE had to be reset which meant passengers in Business Class could not recline their seat for 30 mins. HEL to LHR delayed 1 hour but service was good. Will fly again but they need a consistent product.

HEL-JFK-HEL. Modern Airbus 330. Excellent service both onboard and in the airport. Food was above average. Entertainment system was working properly lot's of smiles from the flight crew during service making me feel comfortable.

BUD-HEL-BKK return (BUD codeshare on Malev). Easy change at Helsinki airport. On the long-haul Airbus with 2x4x2 seating. Entertainment system with a large selection of films and games. The downside is that all alcohol and snacks served after meals are subject to extra charge.

In a word - avoid. All legs delayed. Cabin cleanliness was poor. Food was of Economy Class standard although the wine list was actually very good. Staff were friendly but overall experience let down by uncomfortable angle lie flat seats and an archaic entertainment system. Not One World standard in my view.

HKG-HEL-HKG on the A340. Food and service were adequate and the seats comfortable by day. But they are not flat beds and only reach an angle of about 15 degrees making them very uncomfortable for sleeping.

Milan-Helsinki-Changi return. Service very good everything on time and efficient. Meals adequate. Cabin crew polite and attentive. Value for money.
