Mine was the same kit as posted by @Princess Fiona, but in a purple colour. No socks in there, but you do get slippers at your seat.

We’ve just had to cancel our CDG HEL SIN J redemption due to a change of plans :-(. Now doing ZRH SIN MEL SQ J a week later…. Was looking forward to the AY J seat, C’est la vie

I hear Finnair are about to drop some good deals for next year.

I hope so though "good deals" seems to have a different meaning at the moment compared with previous years. I've been looking at J returns to UK next September and the cheapest OW option I've been able to find is roughly $7.6k on UL. AY have been consistently pricing around the $8.5-9k mark. Even the consolidators have only been able to offer flights around $6.5k on the likes of Star. The "cheaper" AY deals seem to have the AU/SE sectors on TG, which is interesting. Long gone seem to be the AY RTW at $7.2k (as I took a couple of months ago) or the JL return deals at $5.8-6.6k.

Have you tried going through say Jakarta, as they have some great deals. I agree with J products costing a lot more than previous years, but that is kinda like everything at the moment. Once capacity comes back to normal I should hope we see some great deals again.

Yes, but the cheapest I could find there (or MNL/BKK etc) was around $4.8k on QR. Once you add in the J positioning flights from AU and allow time (hotels usually) for delays/potential misconnects, not really saving anything for quite a bit of inconvenience.

AY have launched codeshares on QR DOH<->Oz. It will be interesting to see how these price compared with the usual SIN, BKK, HKG, TYO transits.

Have just flown HEL>LAX on the A350 but it was the older J seats. Noticeably not as good (well relatively speaking, J is always a good seat). One of the others on the flight sitting by the window lost their Ipad and Buds down the side of the seat as there's a gap between the seat unit and the windows/frames. Don't think this would've happened on the new J seats either.

I flew Finnair from DFW to Hel and then Hel to Hong Kong about a month ago. I love flying this airline but did not think that the food was as good as it had been when I last flew with them

You know the changes are not good when Finnair publicly justifies them as "helping the airline return to profitability".

No doubt, but I’ll take honesty over spin that borders on fantasy.

They could have gone with “enhancements based on customer feedback.”

Absolutely. I'll give them credit for that

I just dont understand why airlines would do this. How much are they saving per pax per flight? $10? Just charge the customer $10 more and be done with it. I don't think that $10 is going to make or break someone's decision to pony up for J.
