FINNAIR - new Business Class AirLounge seat

[SydneySwan]

You will need to be QF Gold or above for any seat selection to stick with Finnair.

I believe the QR lounge opens at 6pm.

It may not be opening earlier:

Only one breakfast option - bit tight.

Honestly, the breakfast was actually really good - the main so la la. Crew was also not super attentive.

I have flown this product multiple times now but the soft service is in steady decline unfortunately. Also, the amentiy kit now only consists of a tooth brush, ear plugs and eye mask - that’s it.

Having said that, I do love the hard product and had a solid 9 hours sleep.

In the Schengen Platinum Lounge now which is very nice.

I'm flying with them for the first time next year - think I'll be travelling with a bag of snacks! Shame about the decline in quality of the soft product.

Totally agree with you. The food pre-covid was great and it is no where near that standard now. However I love the hard product and, lets face it, I will jump at any excuse to visit Helsinki!

Last year I flew with my then 14 month old in the Finnair airlounge seat SIN-HEL, then HEL-SEA a couple of months later. It went really well, and he sat in the spacious seat with me the whole time.

I've just booked another trip for us in March next year. He'll be 3 then, so I got him his own seat. Flying out of HKG this time, I assume the HKG-HEL is also equipped with the airlounge seats

I'm much more nervous about flying with a 3 year old than a 14 month old. Flying SYD-HKG in Y onboard QF first, then 4 hours later boarding the AY J flight to Helsinki.

I'm currently potty training him but I'm tempted to put it off so he doesn't need the toilet all the time

Has anyone flown in these seats with a toddler in their own seat? Car seat doesn't fit them

Edit: Found QSuites BNE-DOH-OSL so I cancelled my QF CR booking and booked QR J instead. I think it's a much better option as the dividers between seats can be collapsed, whereas in Finnair airlounge there's a big wide divider between seats which might prove stressful for him.

Assuming we can get the right seats, we should be able to share sleeping space like this? It'll be my first time in QSuite

All Finnair long haul aircraft have now been refitted with the airlounge.

Thanks Henrus, I wasn't aware they'd finished retrofitting all of them.

I edited my post as I found better a redemption option

We as a family did QF295 back in July. Daughter (16) did not like the seat prefers QF A330 seat. My partner and I thought comfort for sleeping was good, though I found the footwell cramped (middle pair I'm 180cm) I did not like the padding in the seat itself felt too firm and not forgiving, constantly had to move around to prevent a numb backside but that's okay as I do like to lounge in odd positions. I found the pillows were adequate. Overall would go again without hesitation.

I'd dump Finnair for QSuites too! Good find. And yes, if you can get those middle seats facing backwards you'll be like in the picture.

Yep was able to grab two backwards facing seats.

I know not everyone loves the new Finnair seats. If I was less mobile, I imagine it could be tricky sliding down into the seat. Being on the shorter side has its advantages when it comes to travel
