Everyone else in Finland, including me, who have mainly short haul business trips are actually BA FF:s. I can easily maintain my emerald status with BA gold. (LHR-CAI-LHR once a year in F, 360 points, ka-ching). On AY I probably wouldn't even be able to get their gold card making me a disgraceful ruby basically without any lounge access. I wouldn't even dream of a platinum card with a couple of short haul business trips and an AONE3 a year.
So the Arlanda emerald lounge people are probably 90% BA gold members.

I thought the Finnair points were based on kilometers, and business class counted double, and first class triple, so ~62500 miles in F, or ~94000 in J earns Platinum. And most shorthaul earns more points than the actual km (Finland to Scandinavia 1500, to Germany 2000, x2 in J) right?.
