Conclusion

A very enjoyable experience, first in New York and then on this Finnair flight.
The A350 cabin is beautifully designed: it’s simple yet effective, creating a pleasant onboard atmosphere.
The premium seat is excellent and very comfortable. Although the crew seemed somewhat reserved at first, they turned out to be very friendly.
I believe the onboard catering could be improved.
