SINGAPORE to HELSINKI

If I thought that 8 hour flight was bad then I don't even know how to describe this one. 12 hours!! Ohh what a killer and in a much smaller and less modern plane. I flew with Finnair this time and to be honest, I'm looking at changing airlines on my flight home, don't get me wrong I had no problem with the service. And I really don't want to make this a post of me complaining or being a flight snob buut this was my experience.

Now especially compared to my earlier flight with Qantas it just cannot come compare. We only got two meals served to us during the whole 12 hours - to be fair they were good meals with snacks as well. And the thing that really killed me was the leg room between the chairs, I'm 6foot1 so I know which ever flight I go on there will be the problem of leg room but this is a whole new level. When ever the man in front of me reclined his chair I literally could not fit my legs into the space, I had to have them diagonal or scrunched up to my chest.

The in-flight entertainment isn't very entertaining either, the screens a very small and fuzzy but then again I'm also comparing this to A+ Qantas serves. Finnair is an environmentally aware airline, so I also do understand why they don't have the top of the range technology. I'm on my third flight now and that a 3 1/2 hour flight from Helsinki to Heathrow, London and the seating is actually a lot nice and cleaner on this plane. The Helsinki airport is amazingly clean and fresh as well, almost always quite and very peaceful. I almost wish that I had more time there to lounge around on the recliners - those 10 minutes of reclining was AMAZING!!

Anyway, I'm on my way to London now and I'm so excited hooly shiit. I keep getting spasms of excitement that make me want to squeal but noo Ayla tonne that down a few notches please, I'm sure everyone on the flight already thinks your a bit weird. But yeah, I'll update everything later when I meet Jessie and will also check in and see how my jet lag is going. I tried to sleep on my last flight and I did - just not for long amounts of time.
