  • Want to know what Finnair's new pod seat is like? With no recline mechanism, a pod shape and wireless charging it's definitely different to any other seat I've flown in.
    I travelled from Doha to Helsinki to LA to join my family for my youngest son's 21st birthday celebrations and I did the trip on Finnair business class in the new pod seat. Did I love it? Who was in business class with me? Let me show you.

    I can definitely see Kimi being a consultant for these Pods for Finnair…… “Just leave me alone.”

    So fun to see you using Finnair, it’s the airline I mainly use as a Finn myself! Though I won’t be trying the business class for a long while, too much for my budget lol. Make sure to visit Helsinki some day if you use Finnair again!

    Ps. Great video as always Kym, keep up the great work!

    It made me smile seeing you meet up with your family in LA! I’m so happy for you and your success that you get to travel the world watching F1 and enjoying your passions. It is incomprehensible to know hard you work for your channel. People who watch these videos might not realize how hard it is to edit all these videos, and take so many pictures. I swear your day must be a 48 hour day. Keep up the amazing work! One of these days I’ll meet you. I missed you in Singapore twice now, Austin, and Budapest….oh well.

    I've just flown back from ICN to HEL. I was in 3L too.
    Going out, I had a similar last minute transfer experience.
    I was caught up in the industrial action by ground staff.
    my bag wasn't transferred and we couldn't deplane for nearly an hour,
    nearly missed my connection, they held the flight for me and I was the last
    to walk on. Alas no luggage in Korea though...
