Anyone ever flown Finnair? SIN-CDG

[winfred]

3 hours? Hardly enough time to get settled in the seat!!!

Not when it is the last 3 hours of a 24 hrs trip from Melbourne to Paris.

I've flown Finnair J from SIN-HEL and thought it was great, no problem recommending it to anybody!

Yes, that makes a difference.

Just did KIX - HEL-OSL yesterday in J - the Osaka to Helsinki leg was on the new full-flat A330- 2/2/1 and 1/2/1 configeration - so much space! Food and service was outstanding and so much was offered - they just kept on coming around with food (love the garlic bread )- and you can even order your meals online (24hr before), including "Gourmet Meals" such as reindeer :shock:

Oh I love the reindeer...

You'd think QF would take a leaf out of Finnair's book and have a signature gourmet dish. Perhaps Neil Perry inspired grilled Kangeroo steaks?

Would have to be surf and turf crocodile kangaroo combo

I have flown Finnair within Europe a few times and found the J class pretty terrible. They do the same thing as BA - the J class is just an Y seat but with the middle seat blocked out so there are only two people in the row.

I imagine the long haul configuration is much better based on what people have said here.

Certainly their meals are better than BA on long haul. I flew Finnair Helsinki to. Bangkok economy, and it was good. Then BA Bangkok/Sydney premium economy - seats were ok, but breakfast was a cardboard box with a dried croissant, pepper/salt, yogurt and orange juice (don't know what the salt/pepper was for). Finnair still impresses me.

Have flown Finnar from a number of Asian ports after connecting with QF or CX. To be honest I've forgotten how many times but their J class product is extremely good if you get a good price. Never had a bad experience. A transit in HEL is extremely pleasant. The airport is easy to navigate and the lounge is more than adequate whether flying into or out of Europe.

I recommend them very highly. Watch out for specials as they are definitely worth it.

Reviving an old thread

SWMBO decided she wants to go to Europe in August and after some fiddling around I found some flights for AUD1564 return. Not bad for August travel in my opinion. QF to SIN then separate ticket AY to BRU via HEL. Now I have only flown J on AY (and never had a look down the back) so can anybody give some whY seat recommendations?
