Finnair Business Class seat reviews

BUSINESS CLASS : a new seat was installed last year, based on the angled lie-flat format. For an airline
that should be targeting a Premium business class, this seat is disappointing, and comfort levels
do not rank at the expected level. Seat width is adequate, but privacy not great. In the seated / relaxing position
the seat comfort is okay, but in full, angled lie-flat recline the sleep comfort is somewhat poor.
The seat cushion is quite flat but firm, and not very forgiving when assessing sleep comfort. Score : 7/10

HEL-HKG return. Spacious seat, comfortable, easy to sleep. Cabin crew very
helpful. Food and drinks fine. Only downside is that there isn't a wide range of
films in the entertainment system.

HEL-HKG. The seats are excellent. Business cabin seats 30 passengers. Very good
pitch. 16:9 LCD panel for video-on-demand entertainment. Each seat equipped with
electric power socket and USB + LAN sockets. Seats could be lie-flat at an
incline. Seat back massage airbag available as extra feature. Food is quite
good. Service excellent, flight attendants courteous and attentive.

Helsinki - Mumbai. I was positively surprised by Finnair business cabin. After
reading this forum I was prepared for the worst. But the seats were good (wider
than BA) but did not recline full, the food was excellent, the wine good and the
service very good. I would definitely fly this again. |

Finnair's new Majesty Lie-Flat seats are a joke. Older seats were comfortable to sit, but not to
sleep, but these new seats are not good in any position. Only good thing is that you have plenty of
space, so you can get out and back to your seat easily, which you must do every 30 mins to keep fit.
And to previous commentator, food and drinks are good. That helped me over this 9 hour flight from HEL-BKK.

The Finnair Business Seat was quite comfortable. Given the price which
we purchased the fare you really couldn't complain. Whilst not lie flat
(similar pitch to QF) it was comfortable, wide and cabin was quiet.
Managed 6-7 hours sleep on a 9 hour flight from Helsinki to Bangkok.
Agree with other reviewers that the food was not great.

Yes its a change from old Finnair seats, but it is still NOT a lie-flat seat.
Uncomfortable to get to sleep in this angle location. Like KLM, Finnair has just
installed a product that a number of other airlines are now removing to put in
proper flat bed seats - talk about being behind the time! I guess some
embarassed management faces at Finnair over this mistake.

New seats are an improvement on old type, but like many other carriers, this is
an inferior business class seat for Finnair. Specially so when you consider this
is meant to be a premium Biz cabin, and they do not offer first class. Compared
to British Airways or Virgin, Finnair seats are a cheap alternative that will
cost them custom maybe. Of course, Finnair cheap fares can be found outside
Finland, so maybe they are viewing this as a discount biz class product. IFE
standards remain quite poor, and sadly the form of onboard catering is more like
premium economy with other airlines. Would rather give this a 2 score - its
better than 1 but not meriting 3.
