Join me as I return to Finnair’s game-changing AirLounge, this time with my husband joining me for the journey, to find out whether Finnair still deserves its place among Europe’s very best airlines.
Before we even step onboard, we explore the premium lounge experience at Heathrow Terminal 3, visiting the lounges of Qantas, American Airlines, and British Airways to see which one truly offers the best start to a long-haul journey. From the design and atmosphere to the food and overall experience, we put them all to the test.
Then it’s time to board Finnair’s long-haul aircraft and settle into the airline’s unique AirLounge seat for the flight from London to Helsinki. Expect a full, in-depth review of the onboard experience, including the seat, service, food, entertainment, and comfort coupled with my honest commentary.
But after all the hype surrounding Finnair’s bold new concept, does the AirLounge still feel industry-leading in 2026, or has the competition finally caught up?
