TRIP REPORT | Finnair A320 Business Class | Gothenburg (GOT) - Helsinki (HEL)
Earlier this year, I needed to get from Gothenburg to Amsterdam. Rather than settling with a direct routing in Economy Class, I did some searching for ways to make the trip a little more interesting. Finnair flies the A350 on its HEL-LHR and HEL-AMS routes, and I have been wanting to try Finnair's new Business Class for a long time. Luckily, I found an itinerary using AAdvantage miles for the routing GOT-HEL-AMS in Business Class, for 22,500 AAdvantage miles + 29 USD in taxes and fees. This routing would allow me to experience both the A320 and the A350 in Business class, along with the lounges at GOT and HEL. In this video, I show my experience on the first leg, from GOT to HEL, and the temporary Menzies Lounge at GOT. Come along and enjoy the ride!
Stay tuned for the next flight, in A350 Business Class!

A few months ago, I found a great deal on Ryanair tickets from Gothenburg to Riga. Tickets cost 15 Euros each way, and I had never been in Latvia, so this was the perfect opportunity to explore a new country. Although a Ryanair flight in itself has little to be excited about, the whole experience of flying Ryanair is unique. Some hate it, and others love it. From my experience, I find that Ryan...

At one point during the covid pandemic, Iceland was one of the only countries that I could safely travel to. I booked a ticket to Iceland in June 2020, but a few days before departure, the ticket was cancelled, with a voucher given, and (understandably) no other alternatives for travel. Now, three years later, that voucher was about to expire, so I needed to use it. What better way to use it th...

Ever since I first heard about an airline called Scoot, a few years ago, I have been curious about it. The name, livery, and general impression led my mind to Spirit Airlines.

Scoot operates a network connecting mostly major cities in the Asia-Pacific, but also operates European routes to ...

När kommer videon för HEL-AMS business class? Längtar
@@tomislavzlojutro399 om ett par veckor:)
Thanks for thr report! I've flown GOT-HEL once and it was Finnair's A350 :) When they received their first A350, they put it on several short haul routes around Europe first. Looking forward to your flight to AMS!
@@mikrokupu cool! It must have been a great experience to fly the A350 on the GOT-HEL route.
@@dan.spotter1648 Yeah especially when you were on the A350 for the very first time :)
I Love The Blueberry Juice Aboard.Great Video
@@gunvaldsandhaland7757 that was definitely one of the highlights. Thanks for watching!
Great Video. How was the lines for customs and immigration? Have a trip planned. Taking a connecting flight
😢seats are too thin
I've thought about trying this airport to get to San Francisco
Were you able to use the priority security lane with the plus ticket?
That's a Roomy Aircraft to the Legs...
SAS really need to renew their cabin staff …. The pilots even look younger than cabin staff 😂😂😂😂😂 Though it’s quite interesting flying long distance with an A321 even though ppl don’t really get and are quite negative with it. But it tends to be a new way of flying transatlantic or long haul distance.
Thanks i placed. A bid to upgrade to sas plus let’s see what happens thanks
@@alfredoguzman7754 good luck and enjoy your flight (regardless of whether or not your bid is accepted)!
Thank you for sharing 😊 I'm considering booking the same seat, 27 A. Were you able to pull the seat back for sleeping position as much as the rows in front of you?
Yes! 27A is a great seat, and since there is only a divider curtain behind you, the seat has just as much recline as other seats in the cabin. Also, since the SAS Plus cabin goes to the forward lavatories, and the SAS Go cabin uses the aft lavatories, the traffic past this seat is minimal.
@@dan.spotter1648 Thank you so much for your response 😊👏
Nice my local airport 👌
Nice 👍
Girl. Just pick up your damn bag, these aircraft have narrow aisles, you don't roll it in there.
I know this vid is old but I just found your channel and vids there awesome since I love avaition of course subscribed and I’m actually going on this flight for Xmas 🎄 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching. Enjoy your flight! Swiss is a great airline that I wish I had the pleasure of flying more often!
@@dan.spotter1648😊thank you😊
god don't eat that better to be hungry !
Would you happen to know if my travel partner, who isn't flying business class, can accompany me to the Star Alliance Lounge?

Is there like l wifi on board?
Thanks Reviewing my home airline :D U earned a sub
A great video. I just booked PE to NYC from Stockholm on the A330, with a return in BIZ on the A321 to CPH. I'm looking forward to seeing what the PE product is like. Since it's a daytime flight to the USA, I don't need a bed, so I'm saving that for the return. Having the full-blown SAS biz experience on a narrowbody will be an experience of it's own as well. Was that the last row you were in?
Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, I was in the last row. In my opinion, SAS Plus is perfect for a daytime flight, so saving Business for the night time return is a great idea. Flying international lie-flat business class on a narrowbody is an experience, for sure. If you travel solo and select a seat, it's good to remember that seats on even rows are the best seats in Business, by far, as these are single "throne seats". Unfortunately, unless you are a SAS Eurobonus Gold member or higher, there is a quite hefty fee to reserve these seats. Enjoy your flights!
Thanks for a thorough walk-through. I've been to this lounge many times before, but haven't been in a while so was keen to see if there were any changes. Will be flying into LAX on Air New Zealand soon and excited to visit again. The outdoor patio is my favorite part, especially when the fireplaces are on in the evenings.
Glad you enjoyed it! They did end up turning on the fireplaces later in the day, and it was indeed very nice.
Great video!
Very underrated video, I am going on this exact fligt in about 2 weeks and now I really feel prepared for it. Keep up the good content!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!
Is the food free
Yes!
I ❤flying in and out of Incheon
Great video! thoughts on the renovated Newark Airport?
You didn’t checkout the free movies that breeze has onboard!
U misspelled Francisco
Are drinks and Snacks for free ? For what do I need to pay extra ? And how ? Do you pay with Visa card on board ? Or is that all included in the Ticket price ?
Everything is included in the ticket price in SAS Plus! You don't need to pay extra. Only card payment is accepted.
@@dan.spotter1648 is SAS plus extra ? Because I bought flight + hotel together over a website and I get the tickets later … it’s normal economy class
I am looking at the same flight atm so i hope is the flight is good Because the only lomg flight i had was with Swiss airline on an empty plane wich was the best flight i ever had better in economy then firsf class because very person slept on a 4 sit row with 4 pillows
Last summer, I flew economy plus with Scandinavian airlines, and I rather enjoyed it. It is my childhood and my favorite airline. I especially enjoyed the amenity kit, much larger IFE screen and the bigger seat. Food wasn’t bad either. We flew round-trip from Newark airport to Copenhagen, which, obviously, you did here as well too. We probably flew on the same plane.❤❤
Try the potato salad at the lounge! You will fall in love with it!
I actually tried it yesterday, very good!
Did you time travel since the description says you departed july 1st 2023 and arrived May 1st 2023?
That recline in economy class must have been bad
It actually wasn't that bad!
Thanks. Nice rewiev!!!
Seat 46 on the 747-8
I had a 777 when I flew from Atlanta to Amsterdam on a red eye flight :-) The crew always seems to be upbeat, which makes for a pleasant flight 🙂
That is true. The crew were fantastic!
4:29 oh look, nonstopdan!!
Yes! I met him and we had a nice chat together:)
basically during 11 hours flight they only serve carbohydrate. You will get astringe after the flight :D This airline what a joke really.
I still think SAS Plus Pro looks like a lower version of United "Plus Pro".
This was the 767-300er plane that was once part of "The Pride of Africa" 🌍, Kenya Airways fleet for a few years in the early 2000s. Love this comfortable, safe and versatile airplane ✈.
Cool, I didn't know that!
3:21 What did he say after, Hei du er?
I can't hear out the exact words, but he's asking if I know where I'm going to sit.
@@dan.spotter1648 Ah okay, I had thought perhaps it was Danish maybe Swedish. I’m learning Norwegian and just trying to improve. Takk for the response is it much appreciated.
It is Danish. I kind of understood it since I speak Swedish and Norwegian.@@peteasmr2952
@@dan.spotter1648 Oh okay cool. I did notice someone speaking Swedish at one point in the background. I thought that was cool. I like that there are unique characteristics to each language. The crazy thing to me is when I can sometimes understand some Swedish. It still catches me off guard. Anyway Takk for videoen. I came across this trying to get an idea the experiences on SAS vs other options as I’m planning a trip to see my friend in Norway. It was helpful. Best to you and safe travels.
Yea, nice vlog. I look forward to more. May I request that you do some talking about things on the plane. You are s handsome young man and some vocalizations would be helpful. I slso like your written comments periodicslly. In the future I would like to see vidual and spoken content. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
Thanks for the feedback, I may try that out in future videos!
It's a pretty expensive airline (at least from here in Italy to Iceland) but it's seems worth every penny!
It is very expensive! I never find Icelandair to be a good option for my travels, but having a voucher forced me to fly Icelandair, and it just about covered the whole trip. It is nice, however, and also a great option for transatlantic flights!
I love delta. They are very good with food allergies and I feel safe flying with this airlines 😊
hi may i know if that is the super seat or the stretch seat?
It is a Stretch seat!
