Finnair seeks people prepared to travel free and share their experiences

8 SEP: It looks like another one of those ‘best job in the world’ promotions.

Finland’s national carrier Finnair is seeking four people prepared to fly to various places around the world and report back on their experiences.

The ‘quality hunters’, as Finnair calls them in a job advertisement, will travel to cities in Europe, Asia and the USA in October and November, "assessing" flights, airports and the destinations.

They’ll then share their experiences via a ‘rethink quality’ website.

Finnair marketing executive Antti Nieminen says the exercise will help the airline "focus more closely" on issues that are important to today’s travellers.

"We believe that the Quality Hunters’ blogs will promote interesting and constructive discussion about travel", he says in a press release.

The airline is accepting applications for the job till 26 September.
