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.

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...

      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.

    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?

    • @dan.spotter1648
      @dan.spotter1648 5 місяців тому

      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!
