I guess timetable not updated yet. One 7 row C A333 going to HKG on 26OCT18 for maintenance so 2 left and something to do with that.

Doesn't a flight-DO require a preparatory DO in the äijät juo kaljaa style?

Wasn't "äijät juo kaljaa " deemed to be too sexist at one point and now the correct version should read "äijät juo kaljaa, mimmit tissuttele valkaria"

So is the consensus to first hold a preparatory kaikki juo kaljaa ja/tai viinaa preparatory DO and then a fly-DO later on in the autumn? Let's make at least one happen, hopefully in late September.

Was there not some kind of problem with AY requiring visa to DEL even on turn-arounds?

Yes. But as the Delhi Deli showed, the permit can be something like this:

07 AUG 09:30 BlueNordicSky, ZRH OW lounge (or whatever Finnair uses now) - can guest 1
15 AUG 14:45 BlueNordicSky, HEL Schengen lounge - can guest 1
16 AUG 17:30 BlueNordicSky, ZRH OW lounge - can guest 1
19 AUG 08:00 BlueNordicSky, CKG OW lounge - can guest 1
20 AUG 06:30 BlueNordicSky, HEL Schengen lounge - can guest 1

Could technically guest one on August 16 Helsinki non-Schengen premium lounge at ~23:00 until flight to HKG boards, but the connection time is only 55 minutes, so probably not feasible timewise especially when the evening flight from ZRH is nearly always late.

@BlueNordicSky: Finnair uses the Aspire lounge in ZRH:

https://www.executivelounges.com/air...-lounge-zurich

When leaving security control, walk through duty free, then turn left in the directin of B/D gates. Before heading down the stairs, turn left and there will be stairs and an elevator. Go one level up and you'll find the lounge to your right.

Actually, it's not quite that simple. For a brief amount of time Finnair used the OW lounge in Zurich, before switching back to Aspire. But when I flew with Finnair just a week ago, I was once again guided to the OW lounge. I don't know if this was a mistake by the lounge front desk or if Finnair has once again switched, or even if your status determines which lounge to go to. That's why I should say something like "usually Aspire lounge, but not always" for Finnair in ZRH.

Pardon, but to which oneworld lounge are you referring to? There is no such thing. The oneworld carriers AY, BA and IB use the aspire lounge.
