I love the laidback tone and rhythm of your reviews. All the bases are covered and your commentary is about as objective as you can get. The design of the Marimekko amenity kit is superb, as is most of the stuff that comes out of that design house. The new seat looks beautiful, but just like you , I do like the lounging position and I'm not sure I'd be able to get comfortable without the recline function. Thanks!
That new seat is definitely really interesting, doesn’t tick all the boxes, but also a welcome improvement from certain other airlines. That Marimekko amenity kit looks nice too! For now I only own a United Premium Plus one
Finnair for me has become the best European airline, most innovative, most consistently good service. Love how they accentuate their Finnish origin, including by using Finnish suppliers like Marimekko
I always love how detailed your videos are. The placement of each section, volume, and real dedication to what you bring for b-roll footage. I would like to say how did you get good at the long haul travel. With the pockets of Turbulence throughout the 7-10 hours of flight is something I am trying to just break from myself. You seem like nothing bothers you on these flights.
Thanks a lot! I think the editing makes the long-haul travel seem more effortless than it really is. I don’t always love everything and it’s not always easy! But then again the more you do anything the better you get at it. Thanks for commenting!
love what they’ve done with the middle seats, such a great solution to something which other airlines seem to have overlooked a little. And those beautiful marimekko kits are always appreciated, I like that they’re giving them out in premium economy as well!
Yep, love that it's one where you can chat with your partner onboard. I generally like the reverse herringbone seats, but the biggest issue is traveling with someone else bc when you want to talk to them, you have to wave your hand and then both lean forward to do so.
I can't wait to use "Finnair" . I love ❤️ having my own space. I think the Marimekko kit, is a very nice idea, along with your own pillow and blanket. The food looks great...
I love the unique style of Finnair and there quirky seat, I love how the use Finnish brands like the marimekko amenity kits. I myself am waiting for covid restrictions to ease to fly this new product but love your videos and keep up the great work 👍
The BEST airline videos on UA-cam (and they’re getting longer?!) Mr Gabriel Lee, and his funky socks, are ALWAYS a nice addition to viewing day! Did I mentioned Marimekko?
Wow so many more comments than usual! Love your reports Gabriel and MARIMEKKO. I am surprised you were able to walk a round the cabin after all this lovely drinks!
I am a great and loyal follower/subscriber of Flightradar24 for a long time! Your videos would be a decent and honest way of cabin experience which I became addict versus other arroganish vloggers. Marimekko is a rising star nowadays and Finnair’s partnership is a proof of evidence for that! Next to other brand alliances... Good Luck and keep up.
I love these videos! The soft narration is great and seeing all the amenities and scenery is very interesting. I bought other Merimekko items in Finland and the airline bag would be a nice addition.
I really look forward to the video where you can judge the new seat when you have to sleep in it. For this day-flight it looks really nice at least. I think it is really good and daring that Finnair went for a design like this. It shows that they are not scared to try new things. And well, now that I am commenting anyway let's enter into that Marimekko giveaway ;)
Oh, what would I do without Flightradar24 everyday? Don't even want to think about it. Seriously, thank you for providing flying experiences many of us won't have ourselves. The Marimekko amenity kit is a nice memento of a Finnair flight. Seems their collaboration is going well.
We flew Finnair economy a few years ago from London to Dubai. It wasn’t particularly cheap and to our surprise there wasn’t any free food and no frills. Next time we flew a different carrier.
Flightradar24 Gabriel I Love watching your Travels in All Kinds of Aeroplanes Companies and the Latest in the Life's of Aviation..Living in New Zealand we don't experience all those Planes you take us on. As I immigrated from Holland as a Child and we were one of the First to Fly to New Zealand 1952...KLM on a Constellation 4 Prop Propeller....it took 7 days to arrive to Christchurch in those days. Kindness regards Yolanda Kirkbeck
I've been flying with Finnair a couple of times. Last time was with 2 small children (3 years old and 9 months old). We were so well looked after. I would love to win that Marimekko amenity kit
Looking forward to seeing the next instalment, and hearing how the seat works for sleeping. It does all look like classy scandi design, and a restful place to be. I’m more familiar with Swedish and Danish brands, but I’m going to look up Marimekko - the prints look very chic!
I am commenting enter into that Marimekko giveaway and to let you know that I have just found you on UA-cam and I love the details you go into in your video's. Showing the menu and amenity packs is a great help. Looking at the size of the hole for your feet to go when laying down would also be a tight squeeze if you had bigger feet. Thanks for all that you do so we can get a clear insight to what the airline is like. 🙂
Thanks for a great review, full of relevant details and specifics. Long ago I was First Class all the time. Then I had 2 kids. Now I'm 46 - and retired early - - so, Premium Economy seems like it will be my new way to travel because I want to do some European trips from USA.
Hmm, you know, I do love Marimekko stuff 😉 Great video btw, this one looked like a good experience overall even if the non-reclining seat would bug me… I’ll probably never get the chance to fly in business class, but it’s great to do it vicariously through videos like this 😂
"Hope we get some views", he says, then shows off the most *amazing* views over Manhattan. 😆 That cabin looks incredible... the colour is restful, the food and drink look Nordically great. Wonder why the premium cabins were all empty? What a great experience. Marimekko! Would love that amenity kit.
Hi Michael, thanks for the comment! And good news: you've won the amenity kit. Let us know where we should mail it - by email to gabriel(at)fr24.com, or if you prefer to stay on the social media you can message me on Instagram instagram.com/gabeleigh/
I love the idea of a DB level on each flight, it will be interesting to hear the difference between things like the A330 and the newer generation aircraft. Also, I’d like Marimekko amenity kit please 😁
Those business & premium economy seats look interesting. Definitely have to give finnair a try now, especially with their collaboration with itella and marimekko. Fyi I loved that 9 hours video you did for monocle back in the day
The old glassware had a more of Finnair feeling to them... If that's a thing. Fortunately they're still around. And the Marimekko kit's nice, I'd like one!
AY my favourite airline for many years from Bangkok into Europe. Great video Gabriel except for the annoying music on arrival into JFK. Cheers from Australia
Well, going to the First and Business Class lines...And I have always needed a seat that needs to be flat!!! I need to sleep on the Atlantic crossings...
Never heard of Marimekko, never flown fin air, never even been outside of the United States lol actually gonna experience my first international travel, my first flight on a wide body and my first experience in business class. My wife and I will be flying to Cairo via IST from ABQ to ORD on a 777-300er with Turkish airlines in April of 2023. Sooo excited!
1. I hope AY is able to up their load factor. Looks like barely anyone on board 2. Hope you don't have a headache after all those cocktails 3. Throwing my hat in the ring for Marimekko
1. Yes, far too few people onboard. Though I hear they’re doing very well on cargo still. 2. I usually know my limit but occasionally do fall victim to the old headache. Tough life doing these reviews 😅
Good video, lots of information here. I love the views out of Stockholm and over northern U.S./Canada. I liked the previous Finnair offering and I like the Marimekko amenity kits as well. I will certainly be interested to see how the return flight goes. Hope you will do a full flight in Premium economy as well to see how that goes.
I love the laidback tone and rhythm of your reviews. All the bases are covered and your commentary is about as objective as you can get.

It's so lovely to see how the combination of the Marimekko and Finnair brands works so perfectly together!
MARIMEKKO MARIMEKKO MARIMEKKO.
You are without doubt the coolest airline reviewer on UA-cam. Thanks again for your quality videos. 👌
Outstanding! Again an unbiased real review, well edited and narrated. Looking forward to the return! Marimekko 👍
Finnair have done a great job love the new seats
It's awesome that they've used Marimekko's products on board and the Marimekko liveries are beautiful. Well done Gabe, awesome video!
Marimekko and Iittala together with Finnair are true design icons!
That new seat is definitely really interesting, doesn’t tick all the boxes, but also a welcome improvement from certain other airlines. That Marimekko amenity kit looks nice too! For now I only own a United Premium Plus one
Finnair for me has become the best European airline, most innovative, most consistently good service. Love how they accentuate their Finnish origin, including by using Finnish suppliers like Marimekko
Another great video! Marimekko bag looks great as well.
Your presentation is highly interesting to watch. Thank you very much and take care.
I've been entranced by Marimekko prints for decades.
Nice to see the new amenity kits sporting them.
I always love how detailed your videos are. The placement of each section, volume, and real dedication to what you bring for b-roll footage.

@@gogabego thank you and continue to make great content
Just flown A350 Hel-Sin - 13 hours. Seat actually works. It does take a rethink, but once you get it, it works both as a seat and as a bed.
Another great review Gabe!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing video Im delighted how much detailed you are.. Keep up the good work and cant wait see more videos
Very interesting, thanks. The Marimekko amenity bag is stylish as ever.
Great video. Marimoko stuff looks great. :)
Very good product by my friends at Finnair. Also good to see their continued support of Marimekko!
Good job,icabin looks nice
love what they’ve done with the middle seats, such a great solution to something which other airlines seem to have overlooked a little. And those beautiful marimekko kits are always appreciated, I like that they’re giving them out in premium economy as well!
Definitely!

The new finnair businesses seat looks really good and beautiful concept, and nice new marimekko amenity kit too. 😍😍😍
great video Marimoko
I recently discovered this channel and your flight tracking web site via a NYT on tech posting from August 9. Glad I did!
For as many times as I have flown into and out of NY JFK, I have never ever experienced this approach. You got the full tourist approach ;-)
Same! We got really lucky with that approach plus relatively clear skies.
I can't wait to use "Finnair" . I love ❤️ having my own space. I think the Marimekko kit, is a very nice idea, along with your own pillow and blanket. The food looks great...
I love the unique style of Finnair and there quirky seat, I love how the use Finnish brands like the marimekko amenity kits. I myself am waiting for covid restrictions to ease to fly this new product but love your videos and keep up the great work 👍
Thank you!
Great review. Like that they’ve added the Marimekko kit for multiple classes.
Thank you for this awesome video with Finnair 💙
Very cool seat. Love the design of it all! Marimekko gift looks 😎
Great video, the Marimekko kit looks great too.
Another great video. Love your calm and relaxing style of video's. Oh and that Marimekko amenity kit would be awesome.
Marimekko......great video!!
Beautiful A330 ,thank you very much for sharing . also love the FR24 product , I am an annual subscriber - Marimekko FTW :)
Getting a Marimekko amenity kit is such a treat - they have the most beautiful textiles.
That looks a great business seat.
Love the look ofvthe mirameko amenty kit.
The BEST airline videos on UA-cam (and they’re getting longer?!) Mr Gabriel Lee, and his funky socks, are ALWAYS a nice addition to viewing day! Did I mentioned Marimekko?
great video
kiitos and Marimekko
Great review as always! Sign me up for the Marimekko amenity kit sweepstakes!
Really cool video! The amenities, including the Marimekko kit, are very stylish. Food and drink look great too!
I love these videos! The Marimekko amenity kit looks lovely. You are so lucky to be able to fly all over the place all the time!
As you don't have to wait,everything else interests you.l liked it a lot.And a good flight to all the crew.
Very informative; thanks Marimekko please!
Looking down over the NY area it made me appreciate living in a Florida county with about 400K citizens. Great video as always.
Like KLM, Finnair have mastered modern design as part of a unique service experience. I’m a fan of both airlines.
Agreed. Very different styles, but love both!
Great video. Marimekko and I subscribed.
Great video again! ❤️ Marimekko 😄
Definitely an interesting seat and loving that Marimekko amenity kit as well! Cheers
What a beautiful video mate!
Thanks a lot!
Nice video Mr. Marimekko

Thanks for a great and informative review!
Beautiful cabin and crockery! Very modern and European.
This plane is amazing
Oh! Marimekko bag... :)
Marimekko - a great Finnish brand, not one I've heard of before.
Hope you enjoyed the flight and the cocktails.
The screen not tilting is unfortunate.
I really look forward to the video where you can judge the new seat when you have to sleep in it. For this day-flight it looks really nice at least. I think it is really good and daring that Finnair went for a design like this. It shows that they are not scared to try new things.

We here in Finland do love our Marimekko :)
Nice! Marimekko!

Cool video so far and marimekko amenity bag
flying this next week, looking forward to my *Marimekko* kit!

Wow flying to New Zealand on a Constellation. That's incredible!
Now what we need is just more Marimekko liveries on the A350s
Nice review. And the amnety kit from Marimekko looks cute too :)
Very interesting concept- might have to fly with them on my next trip. Thanks for the detailed review

the pattern on the marimekko bag is nice, I wonder if we'll see any of that mirrored in the new textiles for pillows/bedding
The new textiles look pretty different. Hopefully they’ll make their debut pretty soon!
That Marimekko kit looks super nice

Would love to try this product with Marimekko design and compare it with SAS Business

Looking very nice...
Well, going to the First and Business Class lines...And I have always needed a seat that needs to be flat!!! I need to sleep on the Atlantic crossings...
Thank you for sharing..
I haven't tried out Finnair's business class yet, but your video made me want to try it out!!
By the way, that Marimekko amenity kit looks insane..
Great video, hop you can compare every aicrafts noise in the future. And the Marimekko amenity kit is also worth to compare, but it looks great.
Never heard of Marimekko, never flown fin air, never even been outside of the United States lol actually gonna experience my first international travel, my first flight on a wide body and my first experience in business class.

Finnair opened the Stockholm base after their main market in Japan and China was closed. Cargo plays a big role here, hopefully it works for them.
ok...great review....but the no recline seat is probably a deal killer for me...
Marimekko, tack ;)
Marimekko.... never heard of it but looks quite elegant. Would love the kit please. I've always wanted to try AY J class.
The Marimekko Amenity kit is one of a kind. I wonder what's inside...
Marimekko kit looks nice :)!
Good video, lots of information here. I love the views out of Stockholm and over northern U.S./Canada. I liked the previous Finnair offering and I like the Marimekko amenity kits as well. I will certainly be interested to see how the return flight goes. Hope you will do a full flight in Premium economy as well to see how that goes.
Thank you! Good point yeah, need to do a premium economy full flight soon.
So you didn't mention how long we have to enter the raffle, but I think you said to mention Marimekko hopefully that's correct 🙂
