Anth...Catherine, relying on you to do this for us!<br /><br />Anthea, yes the uniforms are rather cool. I love the colour blocking. Gee I had forgotten about the interview. I suppose I am a complete dork!<br /><br />Andy, you can still buy the glasses. I have some myself!<br /><br />MR SWF. I agree with you! If I ran an airline I would try and make it the best and get people to notice. I think Porter are doing a great job, in brand recognition. Pucci also did uniforms for Qantas which I will be posting about soon! I am glad you liked this post!<br /><br />Jane and Lance, I do kind of doubt it. Concorde service was close but alas even that is no more.<br /><br />Mark, it is a bit of a joke. The fares are outrageous for rather indifferent service!<br /><br />Liz, thankyou for your visit!<br /><br />Pet, this certainly had imagination!<br /><br />Lenore and Kathy, they are fab!David Tomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181690917362173400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-68450333496534379942011-05-05T21:58:40.609-04:002011-05-05T21:58:40.609-04:00Love, love love this post.

I have yet to experience such a flight. I looked into first class fare for my upcoming flight to New York and noted that the price difference between business and first class for a 3-hour flight was $600. And that would not have paid for half the Finn experience!Mark D.

Certainly not to be found on the replacement of British Rail.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-59688084023758383002011-05-05T10:13:19.724-04:002011-05-05T10:13:19.724-04:00What a wonderful post and amazing story.

I don't understand why airlines today don't seize the fantastic opportunity that exists by showcasing the design and hospitality of their country. <br /><br />I'm familiar of similar design for more prominent airlines such as Air France or Yves Saint-Laurent uniforms for Qantas Airlines, Pucci for Braniff etcetera, but I didn't know so much care and thought went into the total image for Finnair. <br /><br />I guess to a certain extent we can say that Canada's Porter Airlines is doing a good job. Their geometric ads with the raccoon really are amazing, if now ubiquitous. Someone will be rhapsodizing over those in 2 or 3 decades after the public has forgotten about them.<br /><br />I just loved this post and will definitely revisit in the future. You are doing a FANTASTIC job David.
