Welcome back to the channel and today I wanted to show you what you could expect from Finnair's
Business Class on the A350-900. These are the reverse herringbone seats, these aren't the new
seats. Please check out my review on Finnair's new Business Class. I will leave the link for that.
This is in the mini cabin. This is the cabin behind the galley, so there is another section of
Business Class turning to the left when you come in the plane. You have three rows here, and I am
in seat 11L. It is a pretty standard seat here with the reverse herringbone seats.
You did have some water out there waiting for you as well as menus, a pillow, blanket,
and slippers as well. I love the Finnair slippers, and I actually travel with those continuously.
Here you have the push button screen to deploy the in-flight entertainment. It's very similar to
reverse herringbone seats on American Airlines on their Dreamliner ( 787-8 ). Here you've got the
water in the water holder down there. The menus were laid out; so you have a drink menu, and a
food menu. A little storage space here to put something, but no door to close that. An amenity
kit was out their as well. You do have two windows their, and I would say the second window is easier
to look out of. You have the headphone jack, USB port, plug, in flight entertainment remote
control, and the seat controls there. Here is another water. You also have a light above you,
this is to your right side. Their is not a ton of storage on this seat. Here's the tray table that
comes out and flips open. It is tough to get out with the way that's designed because it doesn't
pull from the under the in-flight entertainment screen like some of them. You do have a
compartment here which; surprise you've got the Finnair headphones which were okay.
You do have a little compartment there and then this pushes up the armrest and pushes down
for more sleeping comfort. Their is the foot well which is fairly decent. Keep
in mind their are no individual air vents on this aircraft unfortunately.
I found the seat comfortable. It is a standard seat. Here is a little closer look at the blanket
and the footwell. It is a little narrow up there but I was able to get a little
rest. Here are the Finnair slippers I was mentioning to you a little earlier.
Here is a look when you do hit the lie-flat position. I always like to show you guys this
just so you have an idea and a reference. I am 5 foot 11 inches and wear a size 11 shoe.
My shoulders are a little broad but again I had no problem really sleeping. It will get a little
tight in there so if you do have larger feet it might be something you'd have to kind of sleep on
your side, or curl to the side potentially to get more comfortable. At least you have an idea in the
lie flat position how your feet will look in the foot well. Their were t pre-departure beverages
offered with a choice of water, champagne, or blueberry juice. I had water to start but I
will show you the take off on this flight and I will be back shortly to talk about more details.
Okay welcome back so let's look at the bathroom here on the A350-900
on Finnair. The bathroom's a little tight but again a very standard bathroom and
it's very plain as far as the color scheme. Really the all white kind of looks like a dental
office. You have no window unfortunately. It's really kind of a tight bathroom for a
large plane in my opinion. After takeoff we did have a hot towel service that came out.
After that I had a drink, this is the Blue Sky and a can of nuts. As far as the food goes we
have shrimp and cheese bread with grilled chicken accompanied with aubergine and mushrooms. They
were out of the trout that I really wanted to try. Apparently many of the Finnair Platinum
Members chose it as they were served first. Then we have cheese here with some jam,
and crackers. I had a Rooibos tea. I really loved the cup The tea was good. After that
and before arriving there was another hot towel service for dinner; well the pre-arrival meal.
I had avocado ravioli with fruit and bread. They did have another beverage service to
go with that. I thought the food was very good. I will let you take a look here at the
drink menu and the dining menu and I will be back shortly to talk about Wi-Fi.
Okay let's take a look at the Wi-Fi. You have to buy it or you could claim it if you had a
pre-purchased coupon. Their are the prices. It is @19.95 Euros for the entire flight, three
hours $11.95 Euros, and $7.95 Euros for an hour. I didn't use it but again there are other options.
If you have a voucher of some sort and maybe Finnair Platinum Members; I'm not sure comment
below if Finnair Platinum Members have access to free Wi-Fi. As for the in-flight entertainment
the screen is definitely not as crisp as the new screens on the new Business Class but
it's a doable touchscreen. It was fairly responsive. You do have the the flight cam which
is good. I will take you through the in-flight entertainment system and you can watch along as
I go through it to check the options you have with it. I will be back shortly with my final thoughts.
Okay let me talk about what I thought about the flight. I thought the flight was fine,
it's a daytime flight. This was from Helsinki to JFK. The
flight attendants service I thought was good. I thought the food was good;
I really loved the blueberry juice. That's the first time I tried it on Finnair because i didn't
actually have that on my Finnair flight from London to Helsinki. So the the blueberry juice and
the Blue Sky cocktail was really good. It was nice that they had the slippers; probably some of the
most comfortable slippers I have experienced on a flight. They are really warm too. I guess that
makes sense being based in Helsinki. This cabin's not nearly as private as the new Finnair Business
Class but it is in the 1-2-1 configuration so you do have direct aisle access. I was
also sitting in the mini cabin so it does make it feel a little bit more private.
Keep in mind their are no individual air vents. You had hot towel services before the meal and
before the pre-arrival meal. You do have Wi-Fi as an option. The in-flight entertainment
is decent but not a ton of options. I felt like I have seen better in-flight entertainment
libraries, but again for a daytime flight it works. That was my experience on AY15 on Finnair's
Business Class ( reverse herringbone Business Class seats ) on the A350-900.
