Finnair Goes Funky 50s Retro

Where: Finland

Finland's national airline Finnair, has got something to celebrate: 85 years in the air. That's longer than many airlines, and the carrier's come up with a neat way of celebrating.

Finnair's going retro. Not all the way back--and we're grateful for that--but back to the strangely cool 1950s. They're painting up one of their A319 aircraft to look just like an Aero Convair plane that Finnair (then Aero) flew in the 50s. Add to that crew dressing up in fifties clothing and passengers might come close to thinking they're time traveling.

We're wondering if reverting to 1950s prices would be beneficial or not. Then again, perhaps the best thing about Finnair back then was that it didn't need the fake pandas to sell seats.

Terminal transit (none / 0)

The last time I flew Finnair the flight attendants used Razor scooters to get from gate to gate in Helsinki airport. Is there anything cooler? I think not -- unless they start wearing roller skates.
