Review: Alaska Airlines 737-9 MAX First Class
To attend the Alaska-Boeing event, I flew Alaska Airlines from Chicago (ORD) to Seattle (SEA) onboard a 737-9 MAX in first class and enjoyed a pleasant flight, with the exception of the Wi-Fi onboard.

Review: Finnair A350 Premium Economy (PVG-HEL)
| THE ALVIATOR'S VERDICT There's a little cost-cutting going on in Finnair premium economy, and this isn't one of the world's best premium economy products. However, I found it to be much less "low-cost" than I was expecting, given the airline's recent challenges | 4.0 | I’m trying to find the world’s best premium economy product, especially between Europe and Asia, a route I fly very often. In November 2025, the opportunity arose to try Finnair’s A350 premium economy class quite cheaply. I took up this opportunity, and booked a flight from Shanghai to London via Helsinki (both in
