| | Finnair Business Class to Helsinki, From 49K Points | Finnair doesn’t release a ton of business class award space so I wanted to flag a few dates that are currently bookable next year. Now, don’t get me wrong, availability is still limited so book it now if you want it. | As I always like to mention, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, and Finnair allow you to book two seats while some programs only see one seat. You could also book one seat with a program such as Alaska or American then book a second seat with Cathay or Finnair. | Now, let’s get into it! | Let me know if you book! |

| Flight Experience | Finnair's business class is arranged in a 1-2-1 layout and the seats are different than you'll find on any other airline. The seats don't recline. Instead, the padding lines the shell of the seat so you can sit or recline against it as you might a couch.
I've always found the crews to be friendly and helpful. While I wouldn't say the food isn’t top tier for business class, it's more than good enough. If anything, Finnair is known for its glassware. So, enjoy a glass of champagne or one of their signature cocktails. | | How To Search | Search with Cathay: | Select Redeem flights Enter your origin and destination.
