    Great flight. What an improvements, their hard products is great. Also not forgetting the food.

  14. Andrea Lauer

    I wonder if this is just a quirk of European English vs the North American English I'm used to, but I've noticed it in several Simply Aviation videos:
    When the captions say "in here you may find the tray table" it always sounds to me like it might be there or it might not be lol
    I would expect to hear (or read) a more definitive "in here you will find the tray table"

    Bad idea having an open bar for Finns before boarding an airplane. Hopefully there are no incidents with drunks.

  17. Paul Walker

    I will never understand why people have to take so much baggage on to the actual aircraft. Ther is thing called a baggage hold for them and as they are travelling on a full service carrier then they have this thing called a check baggae allowance.

    I am considering Finnair to be my carrier for my next trip to japan
    Is their economy class as good as EVA Airs?

    I flew on Finnair in Dec 2019 on a itinerary from PHX -> JFK -> HEL -> DEL. The service was excellent, seats comfortable and overall a great experience. The only problem is the long layover at HEL because the non-Shenzhen side is absolutely dead around mid day.

    Hmm….gab es da mal nicht ein Video, wo Ihr Euch beide vorstellt und auf Fragen antwortet? Finde ich irgendwie nicht mehr 🤔

    12:39, Yes I love when they have a window inside the lavatory. I wish all airlines and fleets have a window inside the lavatory.

    always a pleasure watching your vlogs….the real sights and sounds and presentation as you see it is awesome..Keep up the great work

  27. Straight2Dpoint

    Surprise surprise, a trip report by Simon. Welcome back, but is there a reason why Simon doesn't do trip reports often,…oh wait, i have it. Simon is married with children and so can't make regular trips, but David and Felix are not. That has to be it. I am smart. 😃😉☺

  28. SiameseWorld

    Off the topic. I like the sound of the Finnish language, even just briefly heard in this video. But it's such a hard language 😅

  29. Walk with Jonas

    I flew back from HKG to HEL in May this year with this new product. The hard product was awesome – the bulk heads have more space for the feet, I’m 1.93 and had plenty of space! The food was a let down, it looks better out of HEL though. Great report, thanks!

    "Open the pod bay doors, Hal….." @ 1:16 ( sorry, I couldn't resist ). I love Finnair's glassware too! This sure seems like one of the best business class seats in the sky! The catering looked fantastic!

  39. Simon H

    Behave the lounge is poor…. the food is nothing but salad and carbs! I was there in late Aug and again in early sept and the only thing that had changed food wise, was they changed the type of pasta being served.

  41. Ryan

    The snow cover during takeoff reminded me of that infamous ORD takeoff video by a KLM B744. Absolutely beautiful.❤

  42. Sergant TSeveN (UASMM)

    Great video comrades, really! The flight, and the lounge … I wish I could fly business class like You😅
    Anyways great video as always!
    IDEA:
    Could You make a TripReport in Premium Economy please?
    I've seen that you haven't got even 10 of videos with it, and I think overally it's very underrated. So if you Could then please Premium Economy. Thank You!❤

  44. Dave

    So in Finland they skip the clean aircraft procedure 😱 Ice and snow can shut down an engine😱😱😱

  47. Kimon's Aviation

    Great video! They look like a really improved airline Finnair. Inhave one question. Could someone explain the demand fir flight to Seattle and Hong Kong to me?
