Finnair starts selling its Business Class meals in grocery stores
Many of us miss being back in the Business Class seats in the air. The excitement at take-off and landing, superb service onboard and of course - the food. As a patch on the wound, Finnair takes its Business Class meals down to the ground.
In a new business venture, the Finnish airline will begin to sell ready-made Business Class meals in a store in Finland. In case you miss Finnair's Business Class meals, head to K-Citymarket in the Tammisto district of the Finnish city, Vantaa. Currently, the airline offers two daily options for the main course, and every weekend an appetizer. Similar to onboard, the menu will rotate every two weeks.

The menu includes reindeer meatballs, chanterelle risotto and smoked char as well as other delicious meals from Finnair. The main courses cost 12.90 euros (equivalent to £12) and the starter 5.90 euros (equivalent to £5.50).
