  Has the Finnair seat spread to other airlines? I like it, but most airlines seem to be going down the ‘suite’ style with a door.

    Nope, Finnair is the only one so far.

      Thankfully. I didn’t find comfortable as a “seat” in the slightest… Bed mode was nice

  Flew this NRT to HEL last week. Very comfortable seat and bed. Service and food excellent as usual

  I actually loved the finnair lounge seat to ICN in march and am on it again next month back to ICN
  I found it super comfy in various movie watching position and got good sleep when flat

  I’ve only done the sofa suite on the LHR-HEL-LHR route and I do actually like it.

  Much easier to find a comfortable position than with a more traditional seat which is limited by the motors and how far they can go and hard ridges between the individual seat parts.

  Also – doors are over rated.

    Thank you! Yes I agree with what seem to be strangely unpopular comments: the Finnair J seats are v comfortable because they allow the passenger unlimited positions to get comfortable. And “doors” serve no useful purpose apart from the ego of the small.

    Likewise, I love it – QF have leased a couple and I flew SYD-SIN-SYD on one of the AY planes, it’s a very marmite product, no in between, but I personally loved it, more so than QF”s own J product.

  Am currently in the air flying Finnair on long haul (very long)

  My 9th flight with them in last month.

  The new business seat is not too bad, the major positive is the space and width you have, lack of recline is not ideal i would say.

  Where Finnair really really fall short is Food and Drink – it’s actually lamentable and laughable how poor it is.

  They are offering a very Basic no frills economy version of business

  Staff also very hit and miss, the flight i am on right now, they are woeful, shocking, put me off flying them again for sure

  Just flew 2 times with finnair in the new business no recline .
  I am not a fan . I think old people will have problem to get up again after sleeping …
  Also the food is not up to standards as is the wine . ( compare to Middle East airlines )

    I have quite bad lower back problems, and I find “normal” J quite difficult to move from after laying down, whereas the space on AY allows me to roll sligntly and use my legs to push myself around. Normal J seats I tend to sleep at a slight angle to help alleviate the issue, but it’s not great. I personally love the AY seats (although have only experienced AY light – AY plane and crew, with Qantas everything else, between SYD-SIN-SYD).

  I found the over-the-shoulder seat belt very uncomfortable, cutting into my neck.
  Food and drink are average – need improvement.
