4K | Finnair Surprises Amid Aircraft Shortages Topping Ordinary Qantas with Impeccable Finnish 😁 !

- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- In this trip report, join us to experience Qantas Economy Class (QF291) aboard the Airbus A330-300 from Sydney International Airport (SYD) to Singapore Changi Airport (SIN). Operated by Finnair on Qantas' behalf due to aircraft shortages, this wet lease arrangement began in late 2023 and will continue until 2028.
From the outdated and bustling Sydney Airport, we ventured into the Qantas First Class lounge for a quick breakfast. After some terminal plane-spotting, we step into the modern confines of Finnair's refreshed A330-300 cabin.
Onboard this flight, experience a unique blend of Australian and Nordic hospitality as the Finnair crew delivers impeccable service, adding a whole new dimension to the ordinary Qantas experience.

I like that you don’t talk over the top of your vids like so many others do. You let your great video do the talking. Well done
Thanks for your encouragement, I appreciate that!
The new Finnair cabin looks so stylish 😍
Absolutely 💯💯
Can’t wait to fly finnair from Sydney to Bangkok in November!!!!
Sounds like a fun trip!! 👏🏻👏🏻
@@navsky it always is!!!
Excellent quality footage, & a great review. It’s unfortunate Qantas hasn’t taken advantage of the excellent Finnair Marimekko cutlery, glassware & serviettes. A couple of tiny typos - chilli, I believe, is the correct spelling, rather than chilly, & towards the end, ‘… made out way to (Changi). Look forward to more of your work!
Thanks for the feedback! Awesome eye for detail! 💯💯 I will be more mindful going forward, appreciate you calling it out 🙋🏻♂️
A very impressive setup, despite the 'same old' meal service.... Keep the footage coming!! 👍
Thanks for watching! More to come 😀😀
Another great review. What a super flight/crew.
Thanks for your comment! Yes absolutely enjoyed it 💯💯
I Love Finnair New Cabins,Great Video And Info
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked them 😊😊
Would be more interested in Vietnam airlines review
Yes sir! I gotta check where it'll take me 🧏🏻♂️
Thanks for the trip report! Yes Finnair often has great cabin service. The cabin crew on this route comes from Finnair's crew base in SIN, there's a similar arrangement on their daily HEL-SIN (A350) service, only SIN based crew there. So, no service in Finland's official languages Finnish/Swedish on HEL-SIN flights, but it seems Finns don't mind :) It's the same on HEL-HKG. In France this would cause riots :D
Thanks for your comment. Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised about it! But guess it's what works best in terms of efficiency and effectiveness as long as they don't mind 😁😁
Korean air boeing 747-8b5 desde París hacia Seúl korea desde Bolivia cochabamaba buen inicio de fin de semana 🇧🇴🇰🇷
Thanks for the video & insights into Finnair service. Was it by pure chance that your flight was on the Finnair plane or was that evident when booking flight?
I deliberately looked for it so yes I knew it at the time of booking 🧏🏻♂️
As QF Frequent Flyer I am proud of Qantas for their impeccable safety record, excellent pilots and many generous/kind Aussie-spirit you get from many cabin crew. However, the catering is just uncompetitive. The portions of the servings- so small/stingy compared to Singapore Airlines etc. - can be viewed as “cheap” by people from Asia/Middle East etc. This damages QF and Australia’s reputation. Not good.
You are very generous by saying it’s only “mediocre” …
As for the Finnair hard product: despite being “futuristic” it just lacks warmth/impressiveness when compared to ANA/JAL/Emirates etc.
Thanks for watching!! No doubt about their safety record for sure 👏🏻👏🏻
The "generous/kind Aussie-spirit" you speak of is maybe appreciated by Aussies, but it's an international airline and that behaviour, 'she'll be right and I'll get ya a tinnie after take-off' is not seen as generous and kind spirit in any other culture, but it's seen as rudeness, inappropriate and even arrogant by almost all other cultures, especially those that QANTAS is competing with. And it shocks many Asians I've worked with. LOL.
But still, after years of competing with Singapore Airways, now Emirates and Qatar which provide FAR better service that's not 'generous and kind and she'll be right, mate' QANTAS still doesn't get it. And the market is letting it know.
The only full-service airline that QANTAS can beat in service, in my experience, is British Airways. And that's no compliment. (The last time I flew BA Business was London-Hong Kong, I actually didn't eat my soup, I WORE it! Accidents happen, but I didn't even get an offer to cover the cost of cleaning my suit before my meeting 😂). I flew the new Finnair business class about 4 months ago ..Wow!1... QANTAS is not in this race anymore, I'm afraid. Finnair is carefully "passenger oriented" in Business Class, and that's a concept QANTAS doesn't get.
The EGO of the average QANTAS FA is a fearsome thing. But only Aussies defer to it, I think.
PS safety should be a given. Not an advertising +. Qantas is second best after Air NZ. Of the major airlines plying QANTAS' routes, which ones would you NOT fly for fear of crashing, then? Emirates? Finnair? Singapore? BA? Qatar? Please don't say MAS, because QANTAS also flew across the Ukraine in those days. I always hear a bit of desperation when I hear 'fly Qantas because it's safer'. I live in Europe now, but in Australia a few years ago, and boasting about QANTAS being safe was common. I used to ask, "oh? When did Singapore Airlines last crash?" No response. 😂. It's scraping the barrel a bit: "Never mind the service, it's safe."
@@theon9575 Very well said, very much agree with what you say about competition/culture
@theon9575 so absolutely true, I concur. Very well said! 👏🏻👏🏻🏆
Topping QANTAS nowadays is not so difficult, unfortunately. It's become very ordinary indeed, compared to what it once was. 😥
Well said. So sad but so true 🤷🏻♂️
i have a couple of questions:
1. how easy is it for bronze ff to get an upgrade, from prem eco to bc?
2. can you upgrade just the 2nd leg of your flight? say 1st leg syd to changi then 2nd Changi to LHR?
thanks in advance
Just based on my experience, if you're you're referring to the bid to upgrade the yes absolutely. Where there's availability, Qantas often sends out emails inviting travellers to bid for a chance to upgrade. From memory, this kind of upgrade is really up to Qantas on which leg they offer.
Otherwise, when it's available, there's the option of pay to upgrade within your booking. 🤔
It's infuriating that these Finnair A330s are wifi-equipped but Qantas deactivates it.
That's how QF differentiates themselves? 😅😅
Take the Qantas out of Qantas and all of a sudden everything is better!
Lol quite simply put 🧏🏻♂️
A typical example of Qantas ... overpriced, overrated and now over there (literally with Finnair). It will be interesting if the relatively new CEO can turn it around. It's too Sydney-centric. I much prefer Sing Air with better service and certainly better food..
Think we're all eagerly sitting through this period of 'watch and see' what happens with Qantas and new CEO. There's so much they can work on, I'm sure even a small change would go a long way for many loyal frequent flyers 🧏🏻♂️
Qantas are using Finnair as a cost cutting exercise, because crew are outside of Australia and don't have to comply to our workplace laws etc. Sadly again not employing Australian people and using overseas crews and same for planes, Qantas are scamming Australian people it's supposed to be an Australian company and Airline but it's more overseas than Australian now.
