Is this new? Is it according to OneWorld rules? No access for QR or JL-flying AY+ pax?

Other Finnair websites contradict this luckily
I think this is regarding non OW flights. OW flights are covered by the following text on the same website:
  • You are a Finnair Plus Platinum Lumo, Platinum or Gold member and will fly on a flight that is operated and marketed by Finnair or another oneworld airline.**

So what would this cover - AY code on non-AY metal? TK to IST, AF to CDG, SU to MOW (?) FI to KEF (?)

Did you check they are actual meat? 🤣🤣😀😀

If so that's good news, if they are the meatless sausages then not so great 😀😀

I don't know where you guys got this vegan lounge thing from. They've had various meat dishes all along (incl. the meatballs for breakfast that someone mentioned here before). It's just that the main is now vegetarian.

Currently in the Schengen lounge. Nice and quiet and skumppa has been upgraded to Bernard-Massard, a decent cremant.

A ice cold Lonkero hits the spot so something good too.

ALOT of seats had crumbs on them, so very sloppy cleaning, not a good place to save on

Since you mentioned this I had to do a taste test, and indeed it was a pleasant surprise. Not champagne but enjoyable 👍👍

Little OT, but has anyone been to the non-schengen lounge since the opening? Same offerings than the schengen lounge?

This juuresmss must be an absolute low. Im in the lounge now, looking at some overcooked turnips that one would think AY served back in 1940, in the midst of the war, when nothing else was available. Wow.



Salmon soup was edible, though.

Back to Champagne at AF lounge in 2F.

Not to spoil it but I have to say the service at this lounge just has that WOW effect.

I tried to change to a earlier flight, and while this was a NO GO this time as the flight was fully booked in business while I was waiting the agent got a glass of champagne for me and asked if there was anything she could do to make my stay better... Yes proactive service... Maybe small things but just wow



Forgot the photo, no reason for that 😂🤣😉
