Finnair Sometimes Good For The Heart

April 18, 2007 at 9:12 AM | 0 Comments

Finnair made a big deal of serving up heart-friendly food during Heart Week earlier this month: every European flight over two hours in length (there can't be too many) had meals prepared according to the Finnish Heart Association recommendations. Apparently that meant using the "right" fats and announcing it over the PA to all passengers.

But we're more than a little concerned now about what Finnair food does to you outside of Heart Week--or, for that matter, on non-European flights or flights less than two hours. Is it heart-unfriendly? Despite Finnair's recent mass blitz of promotion (including the infamous fake panda) and expansion of flights to all corners of the globe, we just can't get excited about their food when this is the kind of promotion they bring out.
