The drink menu has been updated for the sunny season, featuring a rosé to help leisure travellers get into the holiday spirit or Business Class travellers to relax during their flight.

On long-haul flights from Helsinki to Singapore, Nagoya, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, the airline has renewed its in-flight service concept to accommodate the late departure times and enhance customer experience. On these routes, Business Class passengers first receive a light meal followed by a delicious brunch before landing. The brunch includes breakfast-style starters, a selection of desserts, and three main courses to choose from. Premium Economy passengers also enjoy brunch-style lighter meals before landing.

Running until 29th October, the Summer menu is inspired by Nordic summer flavours. Business Class guests on long-haul flights can choose from starters including salmon sashimi, shrimp tartlet, and summer vegetables. Main course options include slow-cooked beef in a dough crust with mushroom duxelle, root puree, roasted vegetables, and red wine sauce, or panko-coated rainbow trout with sauteed leek and roasted vegetables with horseradish and mustard. The third main course option varies by route.

Business Class and Premium Economy travellers on long-haul flights from Helsinki can select their preferred main course in advance through Finnair’s Manage booking service. Customers with special dietary requirements can pre-select their meal up to 24 hours before departure, a service also available to Finnair Plus members via their Finnair Plus profile.

Premium Economy Class customers on long-haul flights can enjoy a high-quality main meal and a lighter second meal or snack. Complimentary hot and cold refreshments, including alcoholic beverages (excluding sparkling wine), are available throughout the flights.

Finnair provides complimentary blueberry juice or water on all flights, except for its short service to Tallinn. Coffee, tea, other beverages, and snacks are available for purchase during the in-flight service. Additionally, coffee drinkers can choose an oat drink option along with regular coffee milk.
