Seems to be bit old news as it was already discussed in November, but according to new Blue Wings magazine AY is changing the individually packed small milk packs (Made in UK) on short haul flights to large jugs of Valio milk. Don't drink the instant coffee on airplanes so maybe it's already in use?

Hopefully they will also aim to enhance the other beverage/food selection to be more Finnish made to promote Finland and the brand image of Finnair. I'm sure that Finns can come up with Riistaleipä deluxe version instead of the current Estonian version
Few suggestions: chips made in Åland, proper Long Drink from Hartwall, special craft beer (think SK with Mikkeller), premium juice (think SK with Ringi), smoothies, specialty coffee etc. The whole non-alcoholic selection is quite poor - whereas alcoholic beverages are very competitive by quality comparing to other airlines.

Still change from small milk cups to Valio jug made my typical order "coffee+ 2 milks" become quite milk-heavy and cold coffee. Don't complain for the change though but it would be great to have the milk warmed up

Correct me if my memory fails, but it should be Maku Brewing. And the signature beer will contain a small amount of blueberry.

It's no secret, Maku has a text on their own homepage saying that Blueberry Saison will be introduced in J on Asian flights in early 2019. Maku is from Tuusula, btw, so it's as local as can possibly be. ^

Tusby might get some water from ground wells, yes...
But relax, if so it is taken in Huhtariihi, some 2km north-east of that de-icing spot. It can't affect the water (much)

I must say that the three other samples they gave out in the Makubag after the event were not so good (well not bad but got much better crafts of same type elsewhere). The saison that will be onboard was the best IMO and imagine up in the air even better suited.
Kudos AY on this.
Too sad I lost the black Maku textilebag somewhere in Hilton room.

Excellent flights (in Y) last weekend.
ZRH-HEL operated by NoRRA Embraer. Got 2 champagnes on the house. ^
HEL-ZRH on Airbus with excellent crew. A lot of smiling and very friendly interactions.
My next Finnair flight won't be until June now.

Following the languge discussion here, FA just came with kauppalehti and asked if I wanted swedish papers too. How did she know I speak swedish too evennif my name has no hint to swedish and my mother tonque is finnish. Well kudos for the courtesy still

i mean for a non fin/swe, and i live in lauttasaari, I do hear swedish speaking people are much louder.
Again NO OFFENSE, just an outsider observation.
