Finnair Business Class Experience?
Discussion
I am in the process of booking my honeymoon and looks like Thailand has ended up as the destination.
I have had a quote for premium economy flights for us both with BA, which looked like a good option as its direct and flight times suit us.
However, using the Matrix website, it appears that I can get a business class return with Finnair for similar money, albeit with a 2hr layover in Helsinki.
Just wondered if anyone had any experience with them?

When we last flew LHR - BKK on Finnair the business class wasn't full flat beds but I believe they have now introduced full flat beds. You can get London to Bangkok via Helsinki cheaper than the locals pay for Helsinki to BKK !
Have a look at Eva as well. Direct LHR - BKK and they upgraded their Royal Laural (Business class) to full flat beds a while back. The breakfast you get at tea time on the way back is nothing to write home about but other than that it's a good service. Veuve Clicquot La Grand Dame champagne, friendly staff and modern planes - compared to the Gaffer taped up BA taxis.

Yes, that's a good price.
Generally the best you will do with Eva is around £1,800 per person but it is direct. Given you will most likely be using an onward flight from Bangkok to your final destination avoiding the LHR - HEM leg is worth something. You can also check your bags on right through with EVA (we use Thai air internally).
There is often a representative from the internal flight to meet us as we step off the Eva flight and they have even put us up for the night and re-booked when a delayed flight meant we missed our tight transfer window.
Enjoy your trip. Where will you end up in Thailand ?
