I recently traveled from Miami to Bangkok via Helsinki with Finnair. I flew business class and had the chance to experience both there A330-300, Miami to Helsinki, and their brand new A350, from Helsinki to Bangkok.
In total I spent over 19 hours in the sky. The food, wine and entertainment were by far some of the best I have ever experience. Also their flat lay beds are amazing! I slept half of each flight, the other half I went all out on the experience!
Have you ever flown Business Class with Finnair before? If so tell me what you thought in the comments below!

Hi everyone, David Hoffman here from David's Been Here.
Today I'm headed to Bangkok on a two week trip in Asia.
I'm flying with Finnair in business class.
So I'm flying Miami to Helsinki, it's nine and a half hours, I have a 90 minute connection,
and then another nine and a half hours to Bangkok.
My first time flying in business class on Finnair, I can't wait to experience it.
Let's get on the plane.
What's up guys, how you doing?
Hey, how you doing?
This is my seat right here.
Alright, so this is the A330-300, this is an older plane, business class is still amazing.
My seat is 8A.
I got a little package here, I got an eye mask, toothbrush, some creams, slippers.
Thank you.
Champagne?
Champagne.
So this is a night flight, it started at 1130 at night.
We still have dinner, right, but what we're gonna order is herring with more herring.
I'll see you at breakfast.
We still have like six hours.
Get in there in like 45 minutes, then I'm off again.
I'm gonna fly for the same length, nine and a half hours.
Basically I'm making 14 videos.
I'm gonna be in Bangkok four days, Manila four days, two days in Singapore, and two
days in Helsinki.
It's gonna be, the air was sick.
I can't wait to see the next flight, because I think the next one is the A350, it's a
different configuration, a little different the way the seats are.
Yeah, this was an epic flight, and here we go.
Made it to Helsinki.
We got about 15 minutes before I board, because we were delayed leaving.
So, no time for the lounge, but it's fine.
Another nine and a half hours to go.
Hey, how you doing?
I'm fine, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Second flight, same time as the last one, nine and a half hours.
Now I'm super happy to go through with ThinAir, because ThinAir is an amazing airline.
Ready to go.
Eight shall through the kitchen and to the left.
Perfect.
So we are on the new A350, as you can see the configuration is completely different.
One, two, one.
I'm in C8H, and let's see this flatbed.
Super nice.
So you can see the TVs are huge, right in front of you, a little different than the
other one.
Perfect, thank you so much.
Cheers.
So as you know, business class, unlimited drinks.
I really try to keep it limited to like two to three drinks, and then just water.
You guys saw I'm dehydrated, but you can't pass up champagne.
So basically it's my second dinner, and then breakfast again.
But the dinner menu is a little different.
They have a few different things here.
And those dessert wines are great, so I'm going to have some more of those.
Unlimited movies, a select room.
Please ******* wait, because this is like a whole new world.
So I'm going to go with the herring.
You should.
Okay.
Thank you.
Gin and tonic.
That cranberry sauce, it has.
There we go.
Do you like it?
Yeah, I love it.
Is one enough?
Perfect.
Yeah, you want some?
Thank you.
Yeah, please enjoy your meal.
The herring here are the best wine selections I've had on a plane.
Super dessert.
Thank God.
It's super late.
I haven't slept anything, so I'm passing out.
I'll see you in Bangkok.
So that was a good four hour nap.
I'm super sleepy, like crazy.
I'm stinking.
I'm stinking in Bangkok.
I didn't really feel it, because obviously I'm in business class.
And every business class is amazing.
The food was delicious.
Mine was very good.
Entertainment was non-stop.
These flat lay beds are ridiculous.
I slept five hours, and in five hours I slept like ten hours.
It was perfect.
It's getting me ready for this trip.
Next time I'm going to fly to Asia, fly with thin air.
I'll see you in Bangkok.
Thank you.
Bye.
Thank you.
Bye.
All right.
Here we go.
Hello.
Bangkok.
Back.
Sawadikap.
