Same offerings yesterday at 10 am. They also had creamy fish soup (I think salmon & cod). The pork was dry, but the soup was pretty good.

Thanks! When reading this, I was just about to decide whether to eat lunch at home or in the lounge. With barbecued pork decided to go for the lounge.

Schengen lounge feels like flagship dining now that non-Schengen premium loundge is closed. Yesterday breakfast there was awfully low experience.

Literally! I have a hard time remembering the time when Schengen food was bad and I was just hoping for a visit to the non-Schengen side lounge.

Yesterday after 4 pm the non-Schengen lounge was standing place only. The food options were sub-par, so I had the blueberry smoothie only (which was good) and silently cursed myself for not leaving half an hour later from home and for trekking from gate 32 to the lounge. The new lounge openings cannot come too early!

On the redeeming side, the food to ICN was simply lovely - I went all in for fish (starter and main) + the chocolate cake. I can recommend these choices.

The PP offering at the FlyInn: https://www.prioritypass.com/en/loun...inn-restaurant

06:00 - 10:00 daily (set breakfast menu) 10:00 - 14:00 daily (set lunch menu) Fly Inn restaurant offers hot/cold buffet set menus for breakfast or lunch. Breakfast menu incl.cereals, smoked ham, salmon, cheese, fruit salad, warm porridge, scrambled eggs & reindeer sausage buffet. Lunch menu incl. soup of the day, salad, bread assortment & spreads. Drinks with the set menu at no additional cost include soft drinks and a glass of wine or beer.
This is great news. Food there is very good but also very expensive.

The Swissport/Aspire lounge normally available to PP is OK but not that great food wise...

Greetings from the shengen lounge. A really good pumpkin soup, gourmet level I would say. Accompagnied by some nice meat loaf, I'm very happy with this experience. Wines really not bad at all!

Visited the Schengen lounge twice last week (haven't flown finnair that much lately) - it has definitely improved a lot.

Just a note - would it be too difficult to either take the picture without the staff, or cover their faces? I don't think any of them (as well as cabin crew etc.) should be published, if even photographed, without prior consent. While bloggers are generally disrespectful to others' privacy, at least here we could keep some basic respect. What do you think? In the end, they are there for us, but it doesn't make it a ZOO, because their purpose of being placed there is certainly different.
