Although all major airlines fly to Scandinavia, our preferred partner is Finnair. Reason – condition of aircraft, safety record and most importantly, Finnair provide the quickest route into Scandinavia.
Flying through the major east routes, the flight path across the top of the world to Helsinki is an experience in itself. Taking you across areas seldom seen from the air, the view from the air is amazing. And, you’re flying during the Northern Hemisphere winter and depending on where’re you seated, you may be fortunate enough to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).
But of very special note if you’re flying Economy Class, is the possibility to upgrade to Finnair’s version of Premium Economy. Available from most points in the East, Finnair’s ‘Comfort Class’ provides an expanse of seat space and leg room for what is essentially, Economy Class. Add a set of noise cancelling headphones for smooth listening and an amenities kit printed with the famous flamboyant design of Marimekko and you can say goodbye to Economy Class hangover.
And if Comfort Class is this great then how good can Business Class be? Well don’t take our word for it – try it for yourself!
If you’re looking for the most unique and memorable holiday and would like to speak to someone who has lived it, then I’d love to hear from you.
