I'm planning to be at HEL on December, 20th for 8(!) hours.
Which one Platinum member did they mean? Will I get sauna for free with my AA Plat member card?

On December 20 you definitely should head to Helsinki. Take Finnair bus to downtown, enjoy the Christmas market in Esplanade Park, walk around in (hopefully) snowy weather and have a nice meal as it's the season for Christmas lunches/dinners. If you have eight hours you could spend 2 hours at the airport spa and 4 hours downtown.
