Has anyone here ever flown Finnair?

[FlamesAddiction]

I'm planning my next Europe vacation next year and found that if I take Finnair from Toronto to Budapest, it is about 40% cheaper than almost anything else and there is only a short layover in Helsinki (return for ~$1,000). Every other time that I have gone, I fly through London or Frankfurt on either Air Canada or Lufthansa.

I guess my question is should I expect this to be a situation where you get what you pay for? I don't want to go the cheap route and then be in for a crappy flight, lost luggage, or problems at the airport.

There is also a Polish airline called LOT which is only slightly more, so any input on them would be welcome too.... or any other advice.

I would avoid LOT.

You'd avoid an airline based on a flawless gear up landing? Now you know they've got the skills.
