“Economy Comfort - Worth the Extra!” Nice new A350 with modern cabin. The economy comfort seats have 3-4 extra inches of pitch, come with amenity kits and noise-cancelling headphones. Seat comfort is decent and legroom very reasonable for economy.

In 2026, Finnair's "Economy Comfort" remains a popular middle-ground option, but its "worth" depends on your height and travel priorities. This upgrade provides an additional 8 to 13 cm (3 to 5 inches) of legroom, which is a significant relief on long-haul flights from Helsinki to Asia or North America. Beyond the space, you receive noise-canceling headphones (for use during flight), a better amenity kit, and "priority boarding" which ensures your carry-on find space in the overhead bins. However, unlike "Premium Economy," you do not get a larger seat or an upgraded meal service—it is still a standard economy seat with extra pitch. If you are over six feet tall or have a long flight where sleep is essential, the cost (typically €65 to €150) is generally considered a good value for the physical comfort alone. For shorter hops within Europe, the benefit is much less noticeable, and many travelers find the standard seat perfectly adequate for flights under three hours.
