Finnair flies 50s-style for 85th anniversary

Fancy re-creating the original jet set era? You can if you take a flight with Finnair from the end of July.

The company has introduced a retro plane known as Silver Bird for its 85th anniversary, kitting out a very modern Airbus A319 in the style of Finnair’s old 1950s Convair. And once inside, everything will be 50s-themed, right down to the flight attendants' 50s-style uniforms and the 1950s duty free and collectables on-board.

Flights are out of Finland, but to and from a number of major cities, including Amsterdam, Paris and London. Check the newly-launched (and rather cool) Finnair Retro website for details.
