• Food:
• Beverages:
• Wi-Fi:

BKK Premier (upd 12/2016)

• Overall: nice and at the time of AY departure hardly any pax. Entry with Louis Tavern Gold invitation card (flying C and AY Plat) Not sure about the other card. No showers (but you took a shower in the hotel before checkout )
• Food: pancake machine! Some warm and cold options
• Beverages: They had bubbly, not sure about the rest
• Wi-Fi: they have their own wifi, code at the reception

CKG Airport T3 International First and Business Class Lounge (upd 12/2017)

• Overall: Design with marble floors and dark wood panels. Large lounge, divided into multiple sections like two dining areas, "book bar" (library, newspapers), "Media room" (for watching TV), IT-area (a few computers), "relaxation area" ( a room with 4 massage chairs). Has sleeping rooms - didn't try. Has showers - didn't try. Lounge has no windows, but flower walls with plastic greenery.
• Food: Hot food only during certain hours. Breakfast 6:30-9:00: Very small assortment of warm food like hot dog, bacon, steamed potatoes. Buffet food at best luke-warm, didn't feel safe to try. Buffet of some sandwiches, cookies, fruit/vegetables (this buffet is likely the all-day-offer). Green toasts. The only safe-feeling thing in this stylish lounge were cup noodles and unpeeled fruits. Lunch 11:30-14:00, Dinner 17:30-20:00: Offer unknown except a sign saying "Lunch and Dinner provide pasta"
• Beverages: Warm beer, assortment of 4-5 Chinese brands on display in the buffet. If you are lucky, refrigerators are turned on and coldish beers can be found in a separate location. Two French red wines (La petite ..? Les .. ?) on crystal decanter. Didn't dare try. Coffee-machine makes multiple coffees from beans and fresh milk.
• Wi-Fi: Airport wide free wifi. Can be registered via mobile phone or Weixin (Tencent Wechat). Technically international telephones are accepted, in reality only +86 numbers work currently.

CKG Airport T1 First Class Lounge (upd 10/2016)

• Overall: Airy, bright but still just a room of chairs. Plus for massage chair and renovated toilets. The lounge is First only in the sense "this is the first lounge you'll see after passing security"
• Food: Small assortment of hot "mix-n-match" food like vegtable, chicken. Chongqing spicy. Instant cup noodles, cookies, finger-sandwiches.
• Beverages: No name whine and brandy type of liqour. Didn't dare try
• Wi-Fi: Can only be registered via Chinese mobile phone. If you don't have +86 number, you are out of luck.

DEL - Plaza Premium Lounges (Justinus 10/2016)

• Overall: There are two Plaza Premium Lounges at DEL - both lounges are nothing to write home about - (one is after the Duty Free shops, take the escalators at your right hand side; the other one is located to the left, take the corridor leading the other lounges, there the elevator to the 3rd floor). I would recommend the second one, because its is not an open space lounge, thus more quiet. Both have tables, armchairs and tall chairs, as well as restrooms. Usually not too crowded, but never empty.
• Food: Indian food, some croissants, cheese, toast... overall quite limited in the mornings (AY departure time).
• Beverages: Coffee machines with limited options. Usual soft drinks and 1-2 different fruit juices, Indian beer.
  Wine quality: white and red, but IMO not in the mornings.
• Wi-Fi: password is available at the reception.

HKG Plaza Premium (upd 10/2016)

• Overall: Dark windowless lounge
• Food:
• Beverages: Finnair customers will get boardingpass stamped for free alcohol upon entry. Without stamp you are out of luck / out of cash.
• Wi-Fi:
• oneworld alternatives: CX has a few lounges around HKG, separate business class and first class lounges. Especially Pier and Wing F are excellent

NKG A7 First class lounge (upd 05/2018)

• Overall: Spacious, rather typical Chinese first class. As there are very few international departures, staff-to-guest quota was 10:1 at my visit. Sleeping room. Baggagde storage room. iMac surf stations in private boths.
• Food: Some hot food offerings, cold cuts, snacks.
• Beverages: Chinese and western drinks. Didn't have time to explore.
• Wi-Fi: free of charge, no registration, no password (SID: NKG-VIP). Good signal and bandwidth, allowed VPN (in my cas L2TP).
• Notable: Very courteous staff, probably because AY is a very welcome addition to the airport. I was table served a Finnair cake. Staff came and told me boarding was delayed approx 10 minutes.
  N.B. Finnair boarding pass says it is located opposite G10 and G11. It is more like G9, an escalator up to the immediate left from security stations.

PEK Beijing Airport T3 Air China First Class Lounge (upd 5/2019)

• Overall: Stylish and quite big in Chinese way, separate buffet area for dining
• Food: Normal Chinese buffet, but almost all foods luke-warm at best (-> no go), and the ones tasted were actually bad!
• Beverages: Bar with quite a few strong alcohols, but even a cup of black tea was not too easy to arrange
• Wi-Fi: You are out of luck.
• Verdict: inedible food -> don't even consider this if you have access to CX lounge next door

SGN - Le Saigonnais Lounge (03/2019 ffay005)

• Overall: After security, turn right and take the narrow stairs by the currency exchange booth. Go up one floor. Then turn left and walk all the way to the end of the hallway. Not big, but also not crowded when AY departs. Basic lounge used by AY and QR among others.
• Food: hot Asian breakfast items, subpar Western items, fresh fruit
• Beverages: wine, beer, soft drinks, some spirits
• Wi-Fi: lounge wi-fi, password at all tables, seems fast

• Food: Only soup and cold items
• Beverages: A limited selection and everything served from a manned bar. Water, soft drinks, beer (Carlsberg) on tap, red and white wine

• Power sockets: some scattered around the lounge

Europe
AGP - Sala VIP (11/2023 r2d2)

• Overall: A large open area. Bathrooms within the lounge. Entrance (stairs or lift up) opposite to gate D42. Dirty dishes collected quite rarely, so the tables are full of them
• Food: Before noon cold cuts, pretty lousy sandwiches and dry pastries. At noon cooked dishes became available (small tapas-like plates of different varieties)
• Beverages: beer, cheap wines (including cava), soft drinks. There is a bar, which wasn't manned, but a few bottles of spirits were left on the table for self-serve
• Wi-Fi: the lounge has a separate WiFi, but it seems to be the same as the general airport WiFi. Required login every 50 minutes
• Power sockets: very few. Look for the lamps, there are some free sockets around them

• Beverages: Some sparkling, wine, Becks beer, low-end liquer but Fever tree tonic and gin available, quite wide variety of basic beverages + coffee
• Wifi: Did not try, did not ask

BLL - King Amlet Lounge

• Location is not easily found due to lack of signage. Go through duty free, turn right before Lagkagehuset, go around the kiosk and up the stairs. The lounge itself is clean but basic: light food, lots of chairs and couches in rows, and bathrooms. I have not seen showers and I have not heard any announcements while visiting.
• I heard you can order food from the airport restaurant (not for free) but in the morning selection is limited to vegetables, cheeses, and fresh pasties. Bonus points for the delicious and fresh pain au chocolats.
• Drinks selection is coffee, tea, juice, wine, beer, and a selection of spirits.
• Wi-Fi: no information.

BMA - BRA Lounge (12/2019 Post Scriptum)

• Overall: Basic lounge operated by BRA, airside after security. Has a toilet.

• Drinks: Pripps Blĺ Lättöl (2,2% - oh the horror!), non alcoholic wine, no soft drinks, coffee machine

CPH - The Apartment (10/19 ffay005)
Finnair contract lounge. Also home of a few other airlines and buy-in access with airport loyalty program.

• Overall: To find the Apartment, proceed right after the duty free shop. Walk until you reach Marimekko on your right hand side and a set of lifts on the left. Immediately to the right of those lifts is a pub called O’Learys (as all pubs in the world are called, I suppose). Walk through the pub, and you’ll find a staircase behind the lifts that you just passed. The staircase says Aviator Relaxium (and on top of the stairs, there’s a sign saying *A Lounges, which has nothing to do with *A as in Star Alliance...). Once you reach the reception on the second floor, the Apartment is right opposite and another lounge, called Aviator Carlsberg Lounge, is behind the reception. A small lounge with different kinds of seating and a buffet. No Priority Pass Access, only airline invites.
• Food: Varies over the day. Cold food / salad, typically Bulgur, green leaves, cherry tomatoes, Brie cheese, assortment of Danish breads. Cold cuts, cheeses, some fruit, some cake. Sometimes salmon. Warm soup with croutons. Hot food in the afternoon (chicken with rice etc.)
• Beverages: Several types of Carlsberg on tap. Basict spirits, soft drinks (fountain) and juices. Hot drinks.
• Wi-Fi: Pick up one code upon arriving (attendants can be stingy if you take two!). Network can be clunky. There is free airport wifi too.

CPH - Atellier Relaxium (Aviator)

• Overall: As the Apartment lounge is closed you are sent here. This is as well the lounge on the boarding pass. In the evening sun can be very warm.
• Food: Cold food / sandwiches. Warm food sometimes, like omelette, bacon, mushrooms on brunch. (On display in portion sized pyrex - attractive and efficient, but watch out so you don't burn yourself picking them up)
  A more relaxed area is to the right and downstairs - easily missed!
• Beverages: Typically one red one white whine, beer.
• Wi-Fi: Airport free wifi

CPH - Aviator lounge

• Overall: Shares entrance desk with CPH Apartment. This left side of the lounge is PP lounge and contract lounge for several skyteam members. Seating is a mix of armchair and bar stools. Usually very busy. Toilets are outside lounge.

DUB - Dublin Airport Authority T1 Lounge (10/2023 r2d2)

• Overall: Right above security. There's a lift and a staircase in the middle of the security lanes (accessible after passing security). Don't follow the signs for the lounges in T2, this lounge is in T1. When entering for the AY morning flight, the lounge was almost full and accepting only customers flying J or with an airline card (their sign said Blue or Gold card). I was flying J, so I didn't get the chance to find out how AY status would have worked. Customers with Dragon Pass were kept at the entrance for the lounge to get less crowded, which happened around 8:30. Bathrooms within the lounge. No outside views
• Food: for breakfast there was omelette, scrambled eggs, baked beans, bacon, sausages, overnight oats and pastries

DUS - Hugo Junkers Lounge (log6just 10/2016)

FCO - Avia Lounge FCO Terminal 3 (10/2016, Purjelentaja; Updated based on feedback by Steve_Hun 03/17)

• Overall: friendly staff, but very crowded and old fashioned lounge, not very inviting. Update 03/17: easily winning the "worst lounge I've ever been to" prize

• Overall: better than sitting outside, but not a lounge visit to look forward to

• Beverages: soft drinks, coffee, tea and local beers - self service, wines, booze from the bar, decent selction
• Wi-Fi: works OK

GOT - Vinga Lounge (original 10/2016 remymartin (Menzies Lounge), updated 05/2018 Unsub)

• Overall: a very mediocre lounge. Restrooms outside of entrance. Electrical outlets lacking. Views are decent if not good, right towards the tarmac through a glass wall. Way better than the alternative (BRA lounge).
• Food: good, if you like bread(!). Decent stuff to put on the bread during breakfast hours.
• Beverages: red and white wine, Carlsberg on tap. Gammel Dansk, Jägermeister, Lauder's, Gibson Gin and Baileys
• Wi-Fi: Decently fast wi-fi behind a password. Airport wi-fi also works.

HAM - Airport Lounge (1/2022 r2d2)

• Overall: Soon after security on 3rd floor. No walls separating the lounge from the terminal, so all noise from the security comes in. Tarmac views on the other side
• Food: Pretty meagre offerings with some bread, pastries, salad, fruit, Frankfurters (nakki in Finnish) and some desserts
• Beverages: Wines, beer and soft drinks as well as Cava, also some strong alcohol
• Wi-Fi: separate WiFi, but it seems to be the same as the general airport WiFi
• Power sockets: most tables or seats have one

KRK - Business Lounge Schengen (7/2022 r2d2)

MUC - Air France -KLM Lounge (12/2016, Purjelentaja, update 12/2021 r2d2)

• Food: Selection of cold snacks, also some hot items available (12/2021: meatballs and pasta)
• Beverages: Wines and soft drinks as well as French cremant, also some strong alcohol
• Wi-Fi: No own WiFi, have to use the general airport WiFi
• Power sockets: most seats have one

OPO - ANA Lounge (not ANA the airline!) (8/2019, ffay005)
• Overall: Not very big, but also not very crowded. Basic. Not a reason to arrive early, but nicer than the main departure hall.
• Pastel de Nata and other sweet pastries. Some cold snacks, such as modest finger sandwiches and croquettes.
• Soft drinks, juices, beer, wine and some liquor.
• Wifi password is posted on the walls (ANA2016OPO). Fast and reliable. Does not require any login info etc.

MXP - Sala Monteverdi (1/2020, mhle)
• Overall: Typical European 3rd party lounge of low quality. No windows. Strange entry, one has to take an escalator up and cannot get back any more without entering the lounge. The exit is through another door with a separate escalator. The quality of this lounge reflects well how Malpensa is as an airport, tired and boring.
• Food: Some tiny rolls and pre-packed snacks. Do not come here if you are hungry.
• Beverages: Bad wines (although it is Italy), bulk lager beer, some other alcohol. Nothing special.
• Wi-Fi: I used roaming, did not test.

NCE - Infinity Lounge (12/2023 r2d2)

• Overall: A pretty large lounge. Seemed to be the only lounge in the Schengen area of T2. Bathrooms within the lounge. Located soon after the duty free. Entrance was well signposted
• Food: only soup and cold items, but they were of good quality (e.g. fresh sandwiches and salmon skewers). The offerings change several times a day, with only pastries, fruit and snacks available between the main meals. The meal times and their menus was available as a PDF on the airport website, a big positive!
• Beverages: the usual stuff. Prosecco for sparkling wine
• Wi-Fi: the lounge had a separate WiFi, no password needed
• Power sockets: a lot of seats with them

OSL - OSL Lounge (10/2016 intuition, 9/2017 ffay005)

• Overall: Somewhat cosy living room style lounge. A few nice leather lounge chairs with tarmac overlook (not runway but a few obscure E gates). Very few power sockets. Look for the leather lounge chairs, there are some next to them.
• Food: At 14:15 they served their "Breakfast menu", ie a turkey breast coldcut, two salads and some condiments. Melon, two kinds. Bread, no butter. / Update 9/2017: at 7:30 pm basicaly the same selection: a sad salad buffet with little variety, some Brie cheese + a warm soup
• Beverages:Ringnes on tap (Terribly off), non-alcoholic beer on bottle. No-name non-alcoholic red and white (brand "Vini Vici" looked like homebrewn). Claimed to be a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay
• Wi-Fi: open network with captive page. 35Mbit downstream, 50+ Mbit upstream. Password lounge2017

OSL - OSL Lounge Premium section (10/2016 intuition, 9/2017 ffay005, 4/2023 Post Scriptum - no Major things to update/downgrade)

• Overall: Similar to the cattle-section, slightly darker, slightly more cosy. Overlooks the entrance hall, no direct outside views. Update 9/2017: Premium section closes at 7 pm daily.
• Food: Slightly better tha cattle section. Pasta and a few extra condiments. Dessert of the week (was waffles on my visit)

• Food: Open buffet of assorted finger / small-plate Foods
• Beverages: Full complement of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
• Wi-Fi: Above average

RHO - Skyserv Lounge (6/18, ffay005)
• Overall: To get in, you need to go to the Skyserv desk opposite check-in desk 21. They’ll give you an escort to a special security line and then you will be escorted through some corridors and on a lift ride to the lounge. Beware: they may come up with all kind of stories about the lounge being closed, there being no agent on duty etc. Insist and be persuasive, and lo and behold, you’ll gain entry!
• Food: clingfilm-wrapped sandwiches, sponge cake
• Beverages: wine, local beer, soft drinks, juice, water, tea & coffee

• Food: None. Nuts and raisins available.
• Beverages: Soft drinks in bottles, coffee machine, cheap brand alcohol
• Wi-Fi: Works well. No password needed.

STR - Executive Club Lounge (1/2020, mhle)

• Overall: This used to be a BA lounge but has been re-branded as Executive Club. However, there is nothing executive in this lounge. It is just a room, very small and gets overcrowded before the Finnair evening flight. Slightly better before the morning flight. The only positive thing about the lounge space is that there are windows. Entry through the upper level “lounge corridor”, the Executive Club is at the back of the corridor. Toilet is outside of the lounge. I don’t see a lot of reasons to visit this “executive” lounge, unless the terminal is very crowded.
• Food: Nothing useful to eat, just pre-packed snacks. However, there is a freezer full of ice cream, which can be nice in the summer.
• Beverages: The highlight of this lounge is Tannenzäpfle, which is a cult beer from Baden and an excellent pils. However, the beers (similarly as the other drinks) are usually too warm. Otherwise nothing special.
• Wi-Fi: I use roaming, have not tested.

TLL - Business lounge (5/17, Karl Gustav Annus)

• Overall: Enormous lounge for an airport of that size. Design is a bit outdated but everything is clean and looks fresh. They also have an outdoor terrace with tables in the summer, perfect for plane-spotting.
• Food: Large selection of locally made sandwiches and pastries + a fruit bowl. No warm food but soup.
• Beverages: Good selection of soft drinks, still and sparkling water. The alcoholic drinks section is quite solid, in addition to wine and beer they have a selection of distilled beverages.
• Wi-Fi: Fast general airport wifi.

TXL - British Airways Terraces (10/2016, Purjelentaja)

• Overall: dated like the airport in general, toilets outside the lounge, also Finnish newspapers available but often several days old
• Food: reasonable selection of cold snacks, sandwiches at some times of the day, some sweet things
• Beverages: reasonable selection of wines and soft drinks, also some strong alcohol
• Wi-Fi: own wifi, password available at reception
  Friendly lounge matrons here!

VIE - Vienna Lounge (11/2023 SPBanker)

• Beverages: Wines, beer (bottles only) and soft drinks as well as sparkling wine. Also the usual strong alcohol
• Wi-Fi: Airport general WiFi, pretty fast

WAW - Fantazja Lounge (10/2016, TPJ)

• Overall: very good, above average, fairly empty (new lounge, virtual tour: http://www.lotnisko-chopina.pl/en/ex...nge.html#tab34)
• Food: good selection, cold and hot
• Beverages: good selection: juices, sodas, beer, wine (drinkable, but fairly average), proseco, hard booze
• Wi-Fi: airport wi-fi (no issues - very fast, login by providing an e-mail address, you can provide a fake one, it is not validated)

ZRH - Aspire Lounge (1/2020, mhle)

• Overall: Quite boring 3rd party lounge. It is just one room of larger size, but gets some light through the window to the terminal and apron. It always gets overcrowded before the Finnair evening departure, less crowded before the morning departure. Toilets are outside the lounge. A specific topic of irritation is the small amount of power plugs, which are missing from most of the seats (some of the seats close to the walls or windows have some plugs).

• Food: In the morning basic breakfast with e.g. bread and scrambled eggs/beans. During the day two warm food options like simple pasta or risotto with mushrooms/chicken. Nothing great but OK to survive the flight if one is hungry.
• Beverages: Basic selection of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, nothing special.
• Wi-Fi: Airport wi-fi that is available is good (stable and fast enough for e.g. streaming). One can log in either with SMS or with a voucher provided by the lounge reception.

North America
ORD - Servisair Lounge ORD Terminal 5 (10/2016, Purjelentaja)

• Overall: gloomy, dark, very basic third party lounge, no natural light
• Food: quite limited selection of cold snacks, crisps, nuts, cookies
• Beverages: Drinks - very limited selection
• Wi-Fi: very slow wifi
• oneworld alternatives: BA lounges in T5 win hands down. Lounge dragon might try refusing entry as they close before AY departs, but if you promise to leave when they close, you prob will be admitted.

ORD - Air France/KLM Lounge ORD Terminal 5 (1/2020, mhle); note: Finnair is now using this lounge instead of the Servisair Lounge

• Overall: This is better than the Servisair lounge, but nothing special. Gets too crowded especially before some late afernoon departures about 1 hour before Finnair flight. Better just before the Finnair departure time.
• Food: Some light food is available (at least soup), otherwise pre-packed snacks. The offerings change depending on the time.
• Beverages: I once found champange (Taittinger), a positive surprise, but they soon run out of that. Otherwise standard selection.
• Wi-Fi: OK wifi
• Oneworld alternatives: BA lounges in T5 definitely will not provide access any more. However, if one has extra time, it is possible to visit the AA Flagship Lounge in Terminal 3. No problems accessing the security directly to T3 with Finnair boarding pass. One can use the Flaship check-in for quicker security, goes much quicker than the fast-track security in T5. There is an airside shuttle bus from T3 to T5 (at gate K20), reserve 20-30 minutes for the transit.

SFO - Air France/KLM Lounge, International Terminal A (5/2018, tusphotog)

• Smallish lounge with a decent selection of small sandwiches, plus the standard lounge food and drink
• It was crowded before the AY flight left, but I was able to find a seat
• oneworld alternates: BA lounge by A3 or CX lounge upstairs. CX is pretty empty that time of night, has showers and much more open space. Food selection is really limited to chips, cheese, veggies and some packaged snacks. The noodle bar opens around the same time the AY flight leaves. There’s also a JAL lounge, but I haven’t been in it.
