Comparing airlines

So I flew back home with Finnair. What can I say... It was nice to fly directly from Helsinki to Toronto. Unfortunately the plane was a holiday plane (it only flies during the summer holiday and only the summer holiday trips). I really do not understand why they chose such a bad plane to fly between HEL and YYZ. The passengers were not holiday travelers, but traveling journey. I think there were ten Finns on board the plane and the other 200 passengers were coming somewhere else. Really Finnair?! You could do so much more! It really was a long journey to travel, when you had to follow the screen far away and it only had few programs on it. Maybe I am spoiled but when I am traveling over the ocean I would like to have some control over what I watch. I had not planned to sleep, but I had little choice on what else to do. 

I flew to London with BA. I have used BA quite a lot and have preferred them earlier. Now I am changing my mind about them. Although there were some trouble with the entertainment in the beginning of the flight, the rest of the flight was trouble free. I loved the steward that we had, he was funny and smiled and was friendly. All good qualities. The plane was quite small surprisingly, with not that much leg room. The second plane that I had when flying to Helsinki, had much better leg room space. Now as we are speaking about the long flight, I shall not comment more about the shorter flight. So on the long flight, when it was ending, I was expecting to get a warm towel type of thingy, but they did not give it. I have a clear image that they did give one when I flew to Toronto. Somehow the service in BA has lowered with every flight I take with them. I don't think I will dare to take another flight with them, because with this track record the next flight will be really shitty one.

Last year I went to Winnipeg, and I crossed the Atlantic with KLM. I thought back then that the service was okey, but not as good as what I would have expected from BA or Finnair. So basically I was happily surprised. Now after flying over the Atlantic couple more times, I have to say that KLM actually is pretty good choice. On either trip, there and back, they did not drop the ball. I was entertained and fed well. The flight attendants were friendly and efficient. The plane were comfy (compared to BA and Finnair) and spacey. 

So out of these three, the KLM is the best one and if I have any choice I will choose them.
