Change Title for Easier Search?
Would it make sense to change the title of this thread to something like "Finnair Premier Lounge Helsinki" so it was easier to search for newbies to the topic? Not sure who would even be able to do that, since no one seems to officially be a moderator for this forum? (Nothing against the Ambassadors, of course 
)

)But yes, title should be changed. Actually Helsinki Flyer, being the original poster, can do it by himself. He should go to the first post, Edit => Go Advanced, and from there he can edit the title of the thread.

I edited the title of my first post and it didn´t change the title of the thread. Hyvää joulua, god jul or merry Christmas to all of you.

We were there one week ago around 11 pm and asked for champagne. The bar lady replied "Finish. You can have Prosecco!" and she emptied the last bubbles into our glasses. When we asked for a refill they were completely dry.
First visit. Not very premium IMO.

But it's not called the Premier Lounge...
Note that this thread was created almost a year before the lounge finally opened. If we want to go the newbie friendly way, we'd split up into pre-opening and post-opening discussion threads. But this is the AY thread, so let's not do that

Not an experience I have had with BA in LHR.
I had a nice glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape instead.
My main concern has been how busy the lounge gets at times, especially when I usually visit on Sunday afternoon for the BA flight to London. I usually give up and go to the Almost Home lounge, which I quite like, as it is usually not too busy.

This may be kind of OT, but is the J lounge noticeably any quieter, now with the Premium Lounge open?
