Discuss business class travel options.Why is Finnair business class so expensive lately? They nerfed their economy class (less baggage allowance, shittier meals, shittier service) so business is the only way I'd consider flying with them, but why is it so costly? It used to be the quickest way to get to Asia from Europe which I guess could justify the price, but now that every airline has to fly around Russia anyway this is no longer the case. So why do they charge so much?I do admit their business class seats are comfy af though.
I don't fly business class as I'm not a retard and can afford to take time off work. If your time is worth more than $400/hr then you should've retired by now.
>>2740010Based overland travelerThe sleeper berths on the train to Chiang Mai looked very comfortablePeople leave the curtains open even after darkThey forget that tinted glass works in reverse when it's nighttimeYou never know what you're gonna see
>>2740003their not being able to fly over Russia makes them significantly less competitive for some routes vs chinese carriers. I believe some of the carriers have started bitching to the EU/EC about the need to impose protectionist measures to keep the chink airlines from BTFO of them kek
>>2740010lol as soon as business class travel gets mentioned on here all the people desperate to rationalise the fact they can't afford it pop out of the woodwork >I don't fly business class as I'm not a retardoh yeah the ones in the big chairs sipping champagne while you struggle with a sweaty pajeet for control of the armrest, yeah those are the retards
>>2740090>chinese carriersi flew on air china in business class recently, just for the experience, never been on them before. they were a fair bit cheaper than most airlines on the same routenext time i'll pay the extra for emirates or whateveralthough i will say their business class lounge in beijing has pretty good food
>>2740090>chinese carrierswhy would anybody who can afford business class fly on chinese airlines>>2740156>just for the experienceexperience of what exactly. there are so many good asian airlines to choose from, even taiwanese ones are miles better
Finnair's flights to Asia really are suffering as a result of Putin's chimpout. Who knows when European airlines can finally fly over russian airspace again. It might come quicker if russia balkanizes quickly and all the new countries that are not muscovia are less retarded.
>>2740154they travel for leisure once a year. I'm never not traveling for leisure
>>2740179>why would anybody who can afford business class fly on chinese airlinesBecause they are way better than any European or U.S. airline. Sure they are not as good as Emirates/Qatar, but would you really fly from LA to Asia via China or all the way around the world via Dubai?
>>2740179>experience of what exactly.i just wanted to try a different airline. ya know it's ok to just try stuff for yourself sometimesair china is a star alliance member so i expected reasonable quality. and at least i was able to collect some points>>2740274>Because they are way better than any European or U.S. airlineooh no they're notthe plane itself was fine and the seats were decentbut everything else about the airline is a mess
>>2740274You have never flown a mainland chinese or European airline. Even the worst European airline is better than the best mainland airline. EVA and Cathay are good.
>>2740090>>2740261>Finnair's flights to Asia really are suffering as a result of Putin's chimpoutyeah but so their response is to... jack up the prices? I don't quite get it. it's not like Finnair is leagues above European airlines but business class flights to Asia are much cheaper with other carriers.
>>2740274lmao Zhang that's funny
>>2740274Unless you are talking about EVA, which is a Taiwanese airline and not chinese, you are dead wrong. Chinese airlines are all complete shit.
>>2740274There are about 12 direct connections from Japan to Europe (not all fly daily), and 1 from Japan to London.None are flied by chinks. It's the chinks that need stopover in China. Probably to catch all the dissidents who are stupid enough to fly with them lol.
