I would call Finnair and ask them which lounges are open and which ones you can use. Gateway Lounge is closed on weekends so Silver Wings would be your only choice if you can't get in Gateway Fresh Lounge.

Thanks for the info and link. I will be on an AY flight. But it sounds like the gateway lounge is not worth it. Sounds like i will be able to use the longhaul lounge though?
