Eurowings or Finnair to Bangkok
HI Guys;
Hopefully I am asking this in the correct forum, I am about to book flights from Dublin to Thailand. The 2 choices (cheapest) flights are with either Eurowings or Finnair.
Has anyone flown with either and would you recommend an airline. Obviously they are both budget so I am not expecting anything amazing but any info would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

Finnair is a full-service carriernot a budget carrierat least as far as the long-haul segment is concerned.
Are you a member of any mileage programs?

I'd never do a budget carrier in such a long flight. Even if Finnair has cheapened themselves like SAS did (don't know, never flown them) then I'd still take them over an actual budget carrier.
Mileage program is a big influence for myself on which carrier I choose, so personally I'd pay a bit more for a full service Star Alliance carrier. Finnair is OneWorld if you're using one of their programs, but OneWorld has a lot of non-earning fares on budget tickets so wouldn't count on earning much anyway.

Stay away from Eurowings for now, at this point they have only 2 or 3 planes for their long distance flights, horror stories about extreme delays abund.
