Taste of Finnair meals

Normally, our Finnair Kitchen chefs prepare thousands of handmade meals in Vantaa every day. Now that we are currently flying less, we decided to launch a new selection of high-quality meals to selected K Group stores listed below. Pick your favourite meal and get ready to take off on a journey of flavours!

Meals

The new Taste of Finnair meals are inspired by the awarded meal selection of Finnair’s Business Class. The selected meals created by our top chefs have fresh, high-quality flavours from the Finnish nature, as well as delicious and exotic flavours from traditional Japanese kitchen.

Meals along with wine recommendations rotate on a monthly basis. The main courses are available every day and the appetiser is available from Friday to Sunday. You can find our current meal selection with details below.
