Finnair Review Part 1: A350 business class from Stockholm to Miami

In this video we take our first trip on one of Finnair’s long-haul nonstop flights out of Stockholm Arlanda – to Miami. The first in a quick series looking at Finnair’s offering, with the new long-haul cabins coming up next week.

This past winter the Finnish carrier launched a handful of long-haul flights from the Swedish capital, and that’s great news for those of us that are based in Sweden or want to get there from the US and Asia. Meanwhile, Finnair has just recently launched a brand new cabin and service concept that they’re starting to unroll across the entire network. But for now this more classic business class is what you’ll find on the majority of Finnair’s Airbus A350 flights. This video was recorded in March, but the question will still be relevant for some time: is Finnair’s first generation A350 business class any good? Join us on this lovely daytime flight to find out – and enjoy some stunning views of the Labrador coast and a south Florida sunset arrival along the way.

And make sure to hit that subscribe button because next week we’ll be testing out the brand new cabin onboard Finnair’s most recently reconfigured A330!
