Interesting expansion. Apparently Finnair wants to become the Emirates in the North. They would need the airport infrastructure for that.
Maybe Finnair will keep their 8 (relatively) new Airbus A330-300 planes to keep expanding. With 19 Airbus A350-900 planes, Finnair would have 27 longhaul planes. That's a lot to cover North Asia.
It would also enable Finnair to establish two large longhaul waves. The longest routes to Asia (HKG, CAN, SIN, BKK, maybe one day KUL, TPE, JKT) could become the main backbone for the second wave (early am arrival into HEL; late pm departure from HEL).

Hello Warakorn,
Thank you so much for making this review ! I have two quick questions in which I have quoted you and left one picture I would like to know more about:
Are the two seats in front near the left side (fronting forwards) near exit (row 41), and these seats are not the comfort economy ?

Warakorn would have the definite answer, but what you see in that picture is row 41, and the two lone seats are named 41A and C.
These seats are in the normal economy cabin, not comfort. They are by the emergency exit. When you select seats, they are called "Extra legroom seats" and sold at a premium.
