Join me as I share with you five reasons why I think it’s worth the splurge. Let’s fly!
Thanks so much to Finnair and Visit Finland for hosting this trip. All opinions are 100% my own.
A long-haul flight in business class with Finnair was a luxury I had never experienced before. It was divine. Upon entering the long-haul aircraft, I was greeted with a cozy space, personal items including slippers, an eye mask, memory foam cushions, and a comforter.
When I picked up the menu, I was pleasantly surprised at the selection. I truly felt pampered. If you have a chance to fly Business Class on Finnair, you will find that it isn’t just luxury traveling, but also a modern premium experience.
What do Business Class Tickets Include?

Priority Check in and Security
No more waiting in line at check-in. You can go straight to the Priority Check-in desk, and they take care of everything. It might not sound like much, but when you are on long-haul flights, every little bit of comfort counts.
Business class flights with Finnair also get you to slide right through priority security and avoid long lines there.
Lounge
Another perk of flying Business Class with Finnair is the Lounge. Different airlines or credit card providers offer lounges, but the Finnair lounge is a dream. The Finnair lounge offers a beautiful place to relax or work before getting on the plane. It was fully stocked with snacks, coffee, fruits and other delicious goodies.
I had some coffee, pulled my computer out and got caught up on some work without having to worry about my environment.
Everything is right at your fingertips: wine, champagne, and food. I loved all the berries (the Finns love their berries) and the traditional Finnish food. Everything was well stocked and the attendants made sure we have everything we need.
Bed and Leg Room
I am tall and have always had issue with having my leg rest on planes. It was so nice to stretch my legs in the new cabins and be comfortable. Then, when I reclined the new business class seat, I realized that unlike traditional aircraft seats, it wasn’t an angle lie-flat seat, it was a flat comfortable bed that could be put in different positions.
Business class has come a long way in recent years on most airlines, but the majority of the time you find lie-flat seats in business class, so having a flat bed instead I thought was a nice touch from Finnair. My feet weren’t hanging off the ends and it was so comfy.
What a way to travel! Who would have ever thought I could actually sleep comfortably on a plane?
Every thing is designed by Finnish Design House Marimekko, down to the slippers, comforter, pillows, and toiletries bag.
The Menu
Simply put, the food was delicious. There was a wide variety to choose from, not to forget about the mouthwatering desserts and ice cream. You will be delighted by the offerings on the signature menu created by Chef David Posey. Chef Posey created a modern version of traditional Nordic cuisine that I found was both delicious and refreshing.
Dinner
Breakfast
When it was breakfast time, I had the Crepes with Cherry Capote and Almonds, with yogurt, fruit and a delicious croissant.
Amenities
The full-flat seats and amenity kits in Nordic Business Class offer you privacy and comfort. I felt like I was in my own personal space and didn’t have to worry about anyone being on top of me or coming into my space.
Business Class on Finnair is Definitely Worth the Splurge!
Entertainment
Entertainment systems on airplanes have come a long way in the past few years, and the flight entertainment system on Finnair is no different. Depending on the type of aircraft you are flying on, your touch screen entertainment system will be 12″ or 16″ and full of your favorite movies. There really is something for everyone.
WIFI on Finnair
As a blogger, WIFI is my lifeline. Sure I can work in Microsoft Word and survive without it for articles, but without internet connectivity, there is no email, no social media, etc. In other words, without a good WIFI connection I can’t do busywork.
The WIFI on my flight was pretty good, I was able to do emails, post on social media and do everything else I needed to do. In addition to USB-C connectivity and PC power, the table can also be set up in a variety of ways for those who like to work.
The cabin crew was amazing, always tending to my needs. All they cared about was customer comfort. I never felt like a burden regardless of what I needed or what time I needed it. When other airlines have significantly lowered the quality of service on their flights, Finnair showed me that they are truly dedicated to customer service and to making your flight as enjoyable as possible.
This is true of the flight crew, but also of the ground personnel who were very courteous as well.
No one does that for me at home (at least not yet, maybe I need to train the kids lol).
A big thank you to the continuing commitment of the whole Finnair team, who got us safely to our destination, Helsinki airport. My whole business class experience was amazing! Finnair covers over 130 destinations in Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East.
