The good people at Finnair are unveiling a new look long-haul cabin on their aircraft in January. This promises to be a departure from the current product, with a darker palette than we have seen before.
At the same time, Premium Economy is set to be introduced, something which was to have taken place a while ago now. Exciting times for the leisure airline and its frequent flyers!
A SNEAK PEEK AT FINNAIR’S NEW LONG-HAUL CABINS
Twitter has seen a teaser video land, showing tantalising glimpses of what is in store. The colours are dark blue, silver, white and gold, which looks rather nice.
We will have to wait until 19 January 2022, as that is when the official reveal occurs in Helsinki. Since one of the shots in the video is of 3L, it probably indicates that business class will get a refresh as well.
The Finnish carrier’s new long-haul cabins will feature on the Airbus A350 and Airbus A330 fleet. As the airline is not particularly huge, you would hope that the roll out wouldn’t take too long.
Premium economy is a popular class of travel and its introduction will bring the airline in line with other oneworld alliance carriers, such as Qantas, Cathay Pacific, American Airlines, Japan Airlines and British Airways – to name but a few
OVERALL THOUGHTS
Finnair are introducing new long-haul cabins on their fleet. It will be exciting to see just how many premium economy seats will be on board, not to mention the overall design aesthetic.
