), who labelled Finnair’s business class seat the least comfortable in the sky. I also recently travelled Finnair business class from Doha, Qatar, to Helsinki, Finland, and found its seat to in fact be the best business class seat I have ever flown in. I loved its sense of cocooning, finding all the adjustments really intuitive, with the flatbed arrangement the most comfortable sleep ever. The staff were superb, and I had an excellent conversation with an engaged and friendly steward.
When you arrive at the airport with thousands of tourists, you can’t get through customs quickly, something we have experienced after a long flight and five-hour layover in Singapore. It’s deadly, both to your legs and your general health, with no water bubbler available and no fresh air. It’s a shame, as Japan has a lot to offer, but its inflexibility in the name of discipline is not helping tourists. I do not want to travel there again with sheer hassles at the airports.
