Review: Finnair A321 Business Class Helsinki to Paris


We arrive at Helsinki from Guangzhou at about 2:40PM when we get through security and passport control is about 3:00PM. Thanks God that Helsinki's security and passport control is very fast, or else I think that we have a shortage of time and not review Finnair lounge at Helsinki Schengen area (which is coming soon).

Finnair Airbus 321 Helsinki Terminal 2
I arrive at the gate about 3:30PM and the nice agent asked me if I would like to take pictures of the airplane next to the jet bridge which is definitely great!

Jet Bridge at Helsinki Terminal 2

Cabin View
Business Class middle seats
As a benefit of been board first is that you can take full and proper cabin views without protecting others privacy. For those who is not familiar with intra-europe Business Class. I can tell you that is simply Economy with a blocked middle seats.
Seat View

Seat pitch is quite good( 32 Inch) 3 Year old plane, I sure that if you are in the US when you get on a 3 year old proper mainline plane you will have IFE onboard. But that's not the case in Intra-Europe, most airline is trying very hard to save money on the plane. the plane even needed for a manual safety demos. Were older planes in the Asia have shared TVs on!
Pillow onboard for Business Class
Blanket onboard for Business Class
Few minutes after departure, Pillows and Blankets was pass to Business Class passenger and then to Economy Class passengers, we did not get the same pillow like our last flight, this one is for Economy Class long-haul. Which at least is not Paper-Thin that you will receive on domestic first in the US.
Pre-Meal Snakes😛
I have ordered blueberry juice, which I noticed that Finnair have quite good blueberry juices compare to other airlines on my previous flight.
Pretzels onboard
Pretzels literally have countable pieces!
Trolleys passing!

Chicken and veggies with Chocolate muffin and smoked salmon 
Food is quite amazing like most intra-europe Business Class meals.
Breads
About 10 Second after meal was served, we were given a choice of bread, I chose the plain one and it taste quite great!
Indian Tonic 
After I finish the meal, Crew served a drink refill. I have not try Indian tonic by Fever-Tree yet, So I ordered one and it is great!

Review: SAS CRJ 900 Stockholm- Amsterdam Economy Class

图片
Plane Taking us to Amsterdam Our aircraft is scheduled to leave Stockholm-ARN at 8:35 AM. The funniest part is that the gate only opens at 8:15 AM and closes after 8:35 AM.This Flight is operated by CityJet. A look at the aircraft Seat is arranged 2+2, which I prefer over 3+3 that A320 and B737 uses, Seat Pitch was great, I seated in seat 05C, Which I switched to 05D due to my neighbor's request. Our carry on Suitcases Vehicle! The downside of CRJ 900 is that you carry-on suitcase has to be placed on a vehicle. Tags between two cabins This row is the first row of SAS go(Economy), SAS does not have a curtain between Go and Plus cabin but instead, they decided to place a tag on the last row of Plus. Qatar Boeing 787 Singapore Airlines Airbus 350-900 View after take-off We taxied through terminal and we take off behind an SAS 737 Tea with Milk SAS Economy Class Bottom Line Ground Service: 9/10 Seat Comfort: 9/12 Aircraft Cleanness: 12/16 Cabin Interior: 8/12 Aircraft condition: 9/10 C
