“Finnish this introduction.”
Nicky’s wordplay game is strong and we love to see it 😂
You boys seem to have a wonderful time whenever you do one of these comparison videos! Keep doing them. They are very, very informative.
Thank you! It's always a lot of fun!

Good to be so young, have no problem in life and spend the time to travel the world for testing all class of Airlines !
That premium economy seat is better than most business classes in Europe 😭 I love how you guys do economy seat reviews too 👍
Isn't Helsinki considered Europe?
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 You misread, I was dissing European business class not saying Finland wasn't in Europe 👍
@@chrisk_nfl4120 I do not even think what you wrote is correct English.
You are writing about a premium economy seat on a European airline and comparing it to business class SEATS on European airlines.
Suggested: "That premium economy seat is better than most business class seats on other European airlines."
No way someone would misread what I wrote above.
The business that they mean is on short hauls. An A350 is a long haul plane.
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 I am English. I can confirm that what he said made perfect grammatical sense. IT would be exactly the same as 'Manchester United are better than most teams in Europe.'
What you said it more concise, yes, but what the original comment states is not wrong.
The thing I love about Helsinki airport is the birdsong and forest sounds they play in the toilets
I flew Finnair Bangkok to London via Helsinki in June. They upgraded me to a comfort economy seat on both legs and it was the best economy flight I've experienced. Returning to Bangkok in 2 weeks and looking forward to another great flight(s).
ive just booked the same route to go in april chose business and then premium economy because of price but it looks good so im hoping for a good flight
@@craigj4979 I've booked with EVA for my next flight to UK and back. Flying PE to UK, then BC back to Bangkok (as it's overnight flight). EVA and Finnair are my 2 favourite airlines.
5:21 Nicky “I wonder what they drink?” Liam “Milk!” Nicki’s reaction is priceless! Well done Liam for that response, legit cracked me up. 😅🤣
hahahah!
I’m really impressed with the amount of detail you all go into. I have doubts about that business class seat though, and could feel my back start to hurt just looking at it!

I flew in the new business class of Finnair back in May and the seat was actually very comfortable. I was seriously impressed with it and actually prefer it over the previous one they had. The pillows are very supportive even though they are soft and you can adjust your position with them to suit your exact needs.
Same. I can’t imagine that’s comfortable premium economy looks great though.
Flew finnair to London and back from Bangkok last week and have to agree, airport and business class experiences were amazing! Will be flying them again for sure.

The best thing about flying Finnair to BKK is indeed the very fast speedy check in, sécurity and custom procedures due to the relatively small airport site and the fait they have Thai staff on their Thailand bound flights.
@@christbdx Agreed, love that they have Thai staff! Got to flex my Thai 5555
@@lewisking94 Plse call them and check it again if still the same as my last flight with them was before covid....
As always a wonderful flight report, thanks so much for doing it! Wanted to try out the new Business product from SIN but with a few reports it looks a bit hard on the back and narrow on the foot well.

Unfortunately, your trip is too short for testing. You need to do long haul. Say Helsinki to Singapore and then do a review.
I loved this! FINALLY proper and professional review & comparison in between different classes... and so on. Just loving it! ❤
I think I am not the only one tired of these snobbish and boring "business/first class so called tests". 🤮 Please, tell me I am not the only one?
And yes, Finnair is the cleanest, most safest (check the stats) and modern airlane out there. So, great job guys!
Unpopular opinion: Helsinki-Vantaa airport is one of the best airports in the world.
Actually i Like it too
Fr
Kiitos!❤
Me too
As a Finnish citizen who's been at EFHK Vantaa a dozen times I totally agree with you
A great airline that is getting better all the time.

Not really
@@bambinaforever1402 how? I fly finnair quite a lot and it’s amazing, especially economy. Also really affordable prices
@@bambinaforever1402 POV: never flew finnair
I've had an horrendous experience with them
Great review guys. I had a great flight experience flying Finnair return to HKG from HEL on the A350 a few years ago in Y class , brilliant cabin crew and service 👍

Yet another great vlog guys. Keep up the great work 👍🏻 Looking forward to the next one.
whatever happened to inflight shopping?! glad to see this on Finnair...although I could see it becoming a little dangerous after a glass of wine or two!!
Enjoyed the side by side by side comparisons. Several months ago, we booked a nonstop MIA-ARN biz class flight on Finnair for later this year. We were looking forward to our window herringbone seats, and just hope we like these new ones on such a long flight without any mid-recline position possible.
Flew business from Singapore to Helsinki on out recent trip from Australia to the UK, loved the new business class seats and i agree the airport was really nice and the lounge was great, couldn't fault my experience with them.
to me business class is all about the flat bed .. how did you feel it was for sleeping ?
@@freefallu It has so much space, that you can lay in there very comfortably. I flew in business few months ago 9hours and it was very good and comfortable
Moomin cups are huge collectors item in Norway. People get them from blood donations
Wow I didn't know the Moomin mugs are collectors item in Norway, too. In Finland people are ready pay some crazy prices for rare mugs.
i love these comparison vids so much (especially nicky and liam) PLEASEEEE keep uploading more
Always nice to see a new vid up!
I see many people being sceptical about the non reclining business class seat. I was too in the beginning but after trying it out it is actually very comfortable and with the pillows you are provided you can adjust the seat to really suit your needs. Overall it is way better than the old one and after trying it out I don’t really miss the lie-flat position of the old seat. I think people should really give this revolutionary design a chance before skipping it out.
Ben having a fun day at the office with the Champagne and the Cocktail Bar 👏🏽
I've flew with Finnair on a long haul flight from Helsinki to Tokyo and then Tokyo back to Helsinki after spending 2 weeks in Japan, that has been my best and most favourite long haul flight I've ever done. The food and drinks in Economy really exceeded my expectations. Finnair is the best airline I've flown with soo far... Great video review as well lads and love the music choices 🎉
Thank you for the great review! I can't wait to fly again with Finnair and try myself these classes! ^^
I always enjoy watching your Videos. You seem to have a lot of fun doing them and plus they are very informative. So thank you so much and please keep doing them.👍👍

What a stunning airport and an equally lovely plane! Thank you, Nicky, Liam, and Ben for your in-depth and very enjoyable review. Please keep them coming! ✈💕
Please check my Etihad Airways A350-1000 inaugural flight video link: czcams.com/video/JUIbKeMEEmY/video.html
Love these kind of reviews
Please don't stop making this comparison video it's so good and entertaining. Love from 🇮🇳
Doing a same-flight comparison of the classes is by far the best! I would not be comfortable in the non-reclining business class seats, so I'd have to fly PE. Although this was a relatively short trip, I'm surprised at the lack of good catering. The Finns are great cooks, and their bread is to die for!
I fly from Finland to France and back several times a year and because finnair does not fly to Nice during winter i take Lufthansa or KLM - they feed u with decent food even in economy which is included in the ticket price which is cheaper than finnair. One flight is like 1 hour and still they give u food ( there is no direct flight to Nice during winter)
You lads are wonderful. Beautifully presented, excellently edited and pretty good music. I've subscribed.
Hot looking guys !
Good work guys, great concept.
Firstly I love watching your channel and look forward to new videos to watch. I recently flew Business Class from Helsinki to New York in an A330 300 (fitted with the new seat). In your video you mention no priority check in counter at Helsinki on the day you flew, however there was a priority check in counter the day of my flight. I loved the new seat. Being a day flight (departing Helsinki at 13:10) I didn't use the full flat feature but did curl up in the shell to watch movies and found the seat very comfortable. I was really impressed. About 8 weeks earlier I flew Finnair from Bangkok to Helsinki in an A350 with the old Business Class seat. I much preferred the new seat.
Finally, I've been waiting for this one! Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮🤩
Can’t wait to watch this later! B…b…but … Liam in economy?! C’mon guys, that’s no way to treat talent 🤩
I think I found my new go to for airline reports. So many say great things during the flight then trash the whole thing at the end. You guys said what you like and don’t like as you went along. That is how it should be done. Will definitely be looking for more videos!
You guys are flying with Finnair 👍👍great video! Finnair is a great airline. I use it for most of my trips😊
A great trio! Love the video, love you guys
Good job, guys. What a great airline Finnair is!
Awesome as always guys! Loved the music - Team Points Guy UK does it best.
I think you should start every video off with a game of how you decide who gets to sit in which class? Darts? Cards? Flip of a coin? etc...
Assuming that it doesn't conflict with CZcams guideline ;)
This review was amazing! I am flying Finnair business class in a week and I am so excited to try it out. Thank you again for an incredible review!
Absolutely love these videos ❤️. I wish you guys ended the videos with the best way to redeem miles in the premium cabins and sweet redemption spots.

Word of the Day: ‘Pluffy’.
(I have a feeling it has been mentioned before)
I did travel with Finnair last from HEL-DFW, it was a great experience.
Love Finnair! Flew long-haul with them from Chicago to Helsinki back in January, it's absolutely worth it! Wish they would expand to some more destinations in the US (where I'm from), but they just expanded to Dallas, so I'm excited to fly with them again.
i'm not an alcohol drinker, but i like seeing cans from around the globe.
Thank you for sharing.
Yay my favourite CZcams channel is back.
Thanks for sharing. I just flown & returned on Finnair to Europe last week. Up on Premium & return on economy. Long haul. Great ambience & fabulous cabin ambience. PE is definitely a winner. Economy can be better especially on the meal. Love their signature blueberry drink.
Had flown on their old A350 biz before. Great in all ways. Another point to consider improving is to have free check-in bag for their long haul economy flights please.
Please check my Etihad Airways A350-1000 inaugural flight video link: czcams.com/video/JUIbKeMEEmY/video.html
Long haul eco could have check in bag, as long as your tix is not the "light" type.
@@gorilazzi that’s a lack compared to other European carriers that permit a cabin bag n a check in limited to less than 10ths for light choice.
Brilliant! Thank you.
Looks great! I've booked an economy comfort seat HEL-SIN. Are those still available on these new cabins, I wonder 🤔. If not, might there be an upgrade in store for me? 😄
What a great review. I enjoyed watching it. I will fly with them in 2023. Well done!!!
Great reviews... as usual.
Another Vlog, Another Occasion to see my favourite beautiful boys, Nicky and Liam.
Here's a dare Nicky: Economy next time haha!
Thanks. Would be good to see in Premium Economy how that recline impacts the space of the person behind you.
the design is just stunning!!
Your the best to watch on youtube especially Finn air
Very enjoyable video. I might well take premium next time I fly with finnair
Loveddd this episodeee! Maybe you should try Brussels Airline or Air Belgium….
Really nice video!!
Great video :)
Finally loved this guy's
I was on a Finair A350 a few times before,but the one without premium economy class.The seat in business class was a big difference btw the one I sat and this one. But I think the old one is better
Please check my Etihad Airways A350-1000 inaugural flight video link: czcams.com/video/JUIbKeMEEmY/video.html
Yeah, they are just reclining seats with more leg room
I too was sceptical about the new business seat at first but after trying it out it is actually very comfortable and I prefer it over the old one.
Liam is just so sweet when he smiles
Looks like a lovely all around flight apart from the food service. The plane looks fantastic 🤩🤩

Welcome, Ben!
Do you think you could do a comparison of different airlines first/business classes that fly the same route? Especially on shorter flights. I remember you did a comparison video a while back but I'd love an updated one.
My first time to meet you lads - great review, lots of fun! Ben, is that an Aussie accent I picked up? Wasn’t all that fussed over the design of the Business seat. I flew with them SIN-HEL not too long ago, & prefer the earlier lie flat model. I wonder how easy it would be to keep the head back area of the Businesss seat clean from greasy, oily heads & necks 😩? Catch you again soon, I hope!

Ok heres my thing... Im short at 5'3 and really love the fact that if I am lucky enough to get 3 seats to myself I can put the arm rest up and enjoy the space :) the hard arm rest in PE would not make me very comfy in that sense long haul.. and the business not having a tv that tilts down for viewing is weird.. ive see business Finnair before with lie flats and even tho shes a beautiful airline.. I am not a fan of the layout :( Stick me in Economy or business on the old planes ... lol either way.. I love these videos :D
At 6" 1', economy was a terrible experience. Zero leg room, my knees were touching the front seat the entire time.
Try the holiday/family airline jet2
I’ve flown on it before and the people are so friendly
Good job,i like the cabins,i love the a350
Great video
If Nicky always was down the back for these challenges this channel would have 500K subs…. Separate videos of him up front and then seeing him “ slumming it” will captivate your audience more…..
It's always done randomly ( they pick envelopes). There's a couple out there where he's been down the back
Great video! I'd love to try Finnair...btw where's Jean? Miss him :(
Love the blueberry juice. I’m surprised you didn’t say anything about the unique glassware in business class. I’m not sure I would like the new business class as I didn’t particularly care for the last one at 7 feet tall I need a longer bed and thought a Finnish or Nordic airline would of delivered a longer bed.
5:24 is the most wholesome content yet.
Amazing guys thnx so much for information can you do Singapore airlines next?
In Finland there is an outdoor terrace in almost every single coffe house you can find. And Finnish people absolutely love coffee.
so that extra "storage/cubby", if I am not mistaken, is for you to place your personal hand held device to watch what ever you have downloaded, hence in Premium, there is a USB socket as well
I really like the way you film these videos! I flew Finnair's premium economy and business in the old a340 some 6-7 years ago. It's changed a lot since then! I still miss the a340's though
Please check my Etihad Airways A350-1000 inaugural flight video link: czcams.com/video/JUIbKeMEEmY/video.html
ou should have arrived at the airport by train.... it is the most amazing train station that feels about a kilometre underground! We loved the "non-reclining" J seats flying HEL-SIN 🙂
Yeah the railway station at HEL airport is built really deep, looks like from some science fiction movie :) One reason is it's also used as a bomb shelter if needed, like many public underground facilities in Finland. CNN on "underground Helsinki": czcams.com/video/4c8fepchRwY/video.html
For the price the premium economy seems great, hope to fly it soon
TPG is back
You have oura ring thats from finland
Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
18:22 Buy them in a Finnish supermarket and they are just €2.35... The little ones are €0.62. So the hack is equivalent to losing just an arm, but keeping the leg...
Nice. I want to fly from Seattle to Finland
You guys need to do Japan Airlines F/C/W/Y Cabins (LHR-HND).
Do you have a lounge world ranking airline vs priority pass/Amex/lounge key
Got moved from SAS to finnair my first time going the Helsinki after a flight cancellation. First time flying business too. It was amazing, I was so upset when SAS didn’t have blueberry juice on my way home. Miss blueberry juice so much ToT
Helsinki airport is gorgeous!!! So lovely bright and modern stylish !! The premium economy has great huge space. A brilliant airline👍👍👍
Fisrt time youtube suggests your video from a long time! 😳
Btw 2:23 the guy reminded me of James Charles 😅
is there a fan/air blower above the seat?
There is priority desks that are manned but the signs are super tiny and also there are normal manned service desks too
Your take on Air France A350 class battle !✈☺
The boys are back
