You can read my review of Finnair’s new long haul business class flights here.
Lauri Ahonen, Finnair Concept & Category Manager, said: “Finding the perfect wine for a Finnair flight for our customers to enjoy at 30,000ft is always a challenge, but even more so during our centenary.” I do love the labels and think the bottles would make a great addition to my flight memorabilia ( to go with my Finnair champagne glasses). I have a few Finnair flights coming up, so if I manage to try some, I will let you know what I think. Economy Class customers can enjoy the newly developed red and white wines from today, while those in Business Class can indulge from later this spring. The labels for the new bottles are based on Finnair’s original posters designed by Erik Bruun in the 1950s and 60s. Finnair’s Castilla la Mancha Red 2022, named ‘100,000 islands’, contains a blend of Tempranillo (85%), Syrah (10%), and a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). The Castilla la Mancha White 2022, named ‘Destination North’, features a blend of Airén (85%) and Verdejo (15%) grapes, designed to please palates even at 30,000 feet. To celebrate 100 years of flying, Finnair has introduced a collection of special celebratory wines curated by international expert and wine consultant, Ken Chase. You get a 40-50% bonus when you buy at least 2,000 points until 2 July. If you go to the Buy Points page and sign in, it will show you what you get. Marriott has a new buy bonus of 40-50%, which is individually targeted. I cover this in the latest episode of This Week in Travel. Just make sure you are paying with a card that does not have foreign exchange fees. If you buy the points, it costs $550 so over a few nights it is a reasonable saving. For example, I’ve been looking at relatively modest hotels in Boston as the dates I am there a Residence Inn is $606 a night.
Luckily with Marriott, nights booked on points still count towards status.
The airport is confident it can follow a similar growth trajectory to that of Dublin Airport, which saw a significant increase in passenger numbers after introducing its pre-clearance facility.Įdinburgh currently has Scotland’s only direct flights to the US to Chicago, Boston, New York, Atlanta, Washington and Orlando.įor the first time in many years, I actually bought some hotel points as prices in many cities are just ridiculous and it works out cheaper to buy points than it does to pay cash.
Dewar said “Realistically it is no less than two years away to get the approvals and plans together.” Gordon Dewar, the airport’s CEO, expects the pre-clearance operations to open up three or four new American destinations, as well as increase interest from travellers and exporters around Europe. This means that US-bound passengers would arrive as a domestic passenger and make the airport more attractive to US airlines and travellers. The airport is working towards securing permission that would allow passengers to complete US immigration checks and customs inspections before their departure. Edinburgh Airport is aiming to attract a number of new flights to the US by becoming the first UK pre-clearance zone for travellers.
