Finnair Upgrade Get!

Mrs Game Fugu and I flew from London to Nagoya via Helsinki with Finnair. Earlier in the year Finnair had offered discounted seats for visiting Asian destinations, and we managed to get return tickets for £420 each including all taxes. Not bad! It did make me worry about the quality of the economy seats and service though, especially after reading some horror stories about Finnair using old MD-11s for their long haul flights to the Far East which didn't have an in-flight entertainment system.

Fortunately the Helsinki-Nagoya leg was in a much more modern A340, and even more fortunately we received an upgrade due to overbooking. Despite all of the flying I have done in the past, this was the first time I have been upgraded for a long haul flight! We made the most of it, relaxing in the extended seats so that when we arrived in the morning at Centrair (Nagoya's airport) we were ready to enjoy the first day of our holiday.

I would be happy to fly Finnair again in the future!
