FINNAIR Premium Economy - A Smart Upgrade? | HKG 🇭🇰 - HEL 🇫🇮 Trip Report

In this video, I review Finnair's Premium Economy cabin on their Airbus A350, flying from Hong Kong to London via Helsinki. If you're curious whether upgrading to Premium Economy is worth it, this video will give you a deep dive into the experience, covering seat comfort, food and drinks, and the overall quality of service.

I started my journey at Hong Kong International Airport, where I explored the Cathay Pacific and Qantas lounges. I share my experiences, highlighting unique features at The Wing Business Class Lounge, as well as the impressive amenities at the Qantas Hong Kong Lounge.

Once I'm on the plane, I give you a detailed review of the Premium Economy cabin, focusing on the seat layout, legroom, and in-flight amenities. I also talk about the meal service, which offers complimentary soft drinks and alcohol, but with a limited food menu.

I also consider whether the extra cost for Premium Economy is justified, with its additional legroom, Tier points, and enhanced service.

Join me as I explore the highs and lows of Finnair's Premium Economy to help you decide if it's the right choice for your next trip. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment with your own thoughts on Finnair's Premium Economy experience.

Very good review. I traveled this month with Finnair in premium economy between Helsinki and Tokyo for the outward and return journey and I was very disappointed especially on the return journey by the quality of the food served, especially the starter, the dessert for the main meal but also by the breakfast for the return flight. Even if the seat was ok, I think that next time I will prefer an Asian company to return to Asia in premium economy

Try flying with Vietnam Airlines in Premium Economy class. I think it's pretty good too

No drinks offered before push-back Ken? Doesn’t get the pulse racing does it?
Happy travels David

To clarify, if I had a business class ticket, means that I can go both CX and QF lounge at same time?

AY Premium is better than HX EYCL for sure but it hard to match BA, LH...😅

No next time for the Finnair PEY…super close to next seat. I can’t sleep during the whole flight, the screen brightness from next seat is strong like the sun.
The seat is very narrow! It did not fit for any adult!(I am not fat just 68kg), recline is awful. I didn’t measure how much it can recline😂😂just feel like no difference from economy seat…the table arm cause even fewer space…
Amenity kit is thin like paper… I don’t even wanna guess what’s the cost to make one….
Food is better than Econ but… double the price I don’t only expect a “bit better meal… not to mention they only served omelet for breakfast in a paper box…
And no toilet in this cabin…
Sorry to leave a so negative comment about Finnair🤣🤣

With the revised flight routes taking longer, and reduced amenities onboard, not worth the price. Cathay or BA are both much better on this route.

I’m literally watching this while on Finnair 🤪🤪🤪

I just flew Finnair Premium Economy from Helsinki to NYC. There was a pillow, a blanket and a dedicated toilet.

[Prometheusow]

So, do you get access to the lounge with Premium economy? Or do you still have to buy access to it, regardless of the ticket type.

[brianhe]

they don't give out the neck pillows anymore as it seems. the presentation for the breakfast is just terrible.

[cheekyadz]

That breakfast looked awful! And no excuse for narrow seats. No thanks.
