This week, I put Finnair’s Premium Economy to the test on a long-haul flight, to see whether it really lives up to the “premium” name.
At first glance, there’s a lot to like: a stylish, well-designed seat with generous recline that feels like a real step up from Economy. But as the flight goes on, the experience becomes more of a mixed bag.
From comfort and space to food and service, I take you through the full journey from Helsinki to New York's JFK highlighting both the standout moments and the areas where things fall short. So, is this a worthwhile upgrade, or does it miss the mark where it matters most?
