Finnair A350 Business Class flight from Helsinki to Bangkok Thailand. In this video, I show a point-of-view video from the Finnair new business class flight from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport. I also visited Finnair's Business Class lounge in Helsinki.

Finnair business class price?
The price for this flight was 1255 EUR. The ticket type was the cheapest "business light" which does not include any priority benefits or lounge access.
Please note that I accessed the lounge with my Finnair Gold card. If you don't have any Oneworld status, you will need to purchase a "Business Classic" ticket that costs around 150-250 Euros more.
Finnair lounge at Helsinki-Vantaa airport
Finnair Business Class Lounge is pretty good lounge. However, warm food options are quite bad, as there are not any good protein sources. No fish, no meat, not even chicken this time. Even just basic chicken salad, or even mozzarella salad could improve things a lot. Nobody wants to eat some tofu pasta before a flight and bloat inside an aircraft.
Otherwise, the lounge was great, the salad bar, fruits, and snacks were above average, and there was a bartender who could make cocktails and drinks. A lot of seating options and multiple toilets and showers are available.
Finnair business class food and drinks?
Currently, they serve two Amuse-bouche before meals which were Wasabi salmon roll and Roasted beetroot with beetroot purée. Both of them were fine, but for some reason served at the same time as the main meal which had three options (meat, fish, and vegan).
I took the beef option which was "Beef chuck roll with potato gratin, chorizo ragù, and blackcurrant." For dessert, there was once again the same cheese plate, and (or) blueberry pie, or Sea buckthorn mousse.
All the meals were completely fine and eatable, just don't expect any luxury culinary experience here.
For the drinks, Champagne was Joseph Perrier Cuvée Royale Brut NV which cost around 43 Eur per bottle. Spirits include Finnish Kyrö Gin (40 EUR), Kyrö Vodka, Kyrö Rye Malt Whisky(54 EUR), Kyrö Dairy Cream (16 eur) and Larsen XO Cognac (86 Eur per bottle).
Red and white wines are cheap/mid-priced bottles around 8-20 eur bottles. So don't expect to get any Veuve Clicquot, or Bollinger here.
For positive points, I appreciate that they used unique Finnish Kyrö products, which creates an individual experience when compared to other airlines, which serve the same old Jack Daniels, Black Labels, Jagermaister, and Baileys.
Finnair Business class service?
Very basic Finnish service, everything works but nothing is exceptional. For service base, I think, it has greatly decreased from my past business flights with Finnair.
Is flying in the Finnair Business Class good value for money?
The lowest price currently at 1255 EUR for the light ticket without any special discount. This is slightly more expensive than a Qatar Airways Business flight from Helsinki to Bangkok which goes around 1155 EUR with a business light ticket. However, I still believe this new business class seat and overall value here for 12-13 hours of flight is a good value for the money if the price is between 1100-1500 EUR per flight. Anything above then is not really worth over premium economy or economy class.
