samsensam Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 i did finair once man-hel-bkk and never again. it was like stepping back in time; old aircraft, uncomfortable seat, one screen at the front of the cabin showing a film. promised myself i would never do it again. however if the price is really good and you dont mind a bit of discomfort why not try it, you might get a flight share and a decent aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I flew Finnair via Helsinki to BKK several years ago (Economy) and I recall it as being a bit on the uncomfortable side...something about the seats not reclining as far as they normally do. Maybe it was the raw herring for breakfast.......sorry: joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I went with them in business last month. It was £1400, much cheaper than anyone else. Going out was non flat but it was coming back. If it's only 290 to upgrade I would def do it. It was all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roamer Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Finnair's fleet is slowly being replaced; check out on the type of plane first. True but the flight attendants are not. Watched them heading to board a plane at Swampy recently and a more disheveled grumpy looking lot would be hard to imagine. IMHO they need the food trollies to hold onto for support. Flight crews probably second to none in competence but cabin crew seem to spend half the time asleep on long haul. You wondered why so cheap, goes via Helsinki but a lot of Finns choose other carriers in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questador Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I flew BKK-HEL-MAN economy on Finnair last month. The cost was £253 one way. BKK-HEL was a fairly new Airbus with seat back IFE. Meals were provided at the beginning and end of the flight, with alcohol included free of charge (outside of meal times it was chargeable - not a problem for me). The quick transfer in Helsinki posed no difficulty as staff expedited those transfer passengers through security in what is a small airport. HEL-MAN was operated by code-share partner Flybe, it was no frills but the plane seemed quite new and was half empy. For the price paid, I was delighted.

Johnnyy Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I found the cabin crew to be not very friendly but quite efficient. That works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
