Finnair - OneWorld - Finland
Finnair has announced that it has installed new angled lie-flat business class seats on all of its long haul aircraft (Boeing MD-11s and Airbus A340s) . Finnair reports:
.
With the lie-flat seats, the space between seats will increase from the current 127 cm/50 in. to 160 cm/63 in. – the most comfortable seat in its class. The new seats provide more privacy for rest and work. Passengers can stretch out and lie flat – even if they are 2 metres/6 foot 7 in. tall.
.
The seats look, with privacy screens and the rest, to be just like most other angled lie-flat seats being installed by other major European airlines, like Lufthansa and Scandinavian. It stops Finnair slipping behind, and at least the guarantee that all long haul flights will now have the new seats is positive.

This finally brings Finnair up to international standards and has been matched by an increase in traffic. It has a 3 star Skytrax rating overall, including for long haul business class. This ought to make a difference to an airline that appears to be trying to bring its standards up to par with most of its competitors.
