Β 

On the Ground:
Transiting in Helsinki-Vantaa again was super easy.
The Lounge in the Schengen Area of the Terminal was super crowded and there were no seating facilities available. Queues for the drink and food outlets. Rather an unpleasant experience.
At the Gate there was no priority boarding or such.
No welcome drinks or water in the aircraft.

It is a desaster that Finnair sells all 4 seats in a row as Business Class on an Embraer 190.
Two grown man have no space or even the chance to move their arms in these seats. All other major carrier only sell 1x1 on such airplanes and leave one of the seats empty.

Β 

Inflight:
Hot towels after take off were distributed and an aperitif was served.
The hot meal was really nice and was quite tasty. Additional drink service carried out as well as tea and coffee. Prior of landing another water service was carried out.
The crew was super friendly and efficient. A smile and a nice word or chat with everyone.

All in all a pleasant experience on Bord.
