Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Flying half-starved
Bangkok - HelsinkiInternational
Flying hungry. The flight lasted about 12 hours. Passengers were served a 3-course meal. First course: 3 tablespoons of rice boiled like glue, 2 cubes of potatoes 2*2 cm, 1 carrot circle 1.5 cm in diameter and 0.5 cm thick, several leaves of stewed spinach, one (no exaggeration!) tablespoon of chicken trimmings (lumps with veins). Second course: 100g quinoa salad with onion nanoparticles without oils or sauce. My neighbors could not eat this dry "salad" just like me. Dessert: one cookie 6-7 cm in diameter. After 5 hours of flight, dinner was served: the same rice with 4 cubes of the same potatoes and carrots. Passengers fly for 12-13 hours. Of course, they will get hungry and eat everything in sight. The day before I flew from Australia to Bangkok on Thai Airways. Their cake with a winter landscape on an area of ​​7*7 sq. cm was a work of art, not to mention the rest. SHAME for Finnish Airlines.

costs are high, but service is like a budget airline!
Berlin - TokyoInternational
I paid 13k for my flights and I put my trust in this company for a comfortable flying experience, even though there were cheaper options on the market. They charged me wrongly when boarding the plane because of some sort of technical issue, put me on the spot, so I had to pay there and they told me to reach to support for a refund. When I reached out to their support few times, they never answered. The whole experience seemed like they were trying to sneakily get your money, (selecting seats starting from 60€!?) exactly like budget airlines would do. But even they have the decency to respond… I will never ever fly with this airline.

Horrible new Business Class Seating
Dallas - BangkokInternational
The new business class seating is very uncomfortable. There is no foot rest and they don’t recline. Finnair chose them because they are cheaper, lighter, and require less maintenance. All three reasons are about cost savings, sacrificing comfort and utility. We took 4 different 10-12 hour flights, and my back was sore after every one. Laying down is a complex maneuver,

Never travel via Finair if you have alternative options. WORST customer experience. They will get you stranded in some airport with no help!
