Anyone can share the current food selection in the morning, daytime or evening? Or all as it was before?

Im here now. Breakfast was omelet, meatballs, Finnish pastry, cold cuts/cheese/berries/salad. Smoothie of the day, desserts. Lunch hasn't been put out. It's a mix of paper bowls and inflight catering china. Marimekko mugs are back.

To my understanding the premium lounge is NOT open yet. The only difference to the non-Schengen side is that they now have the kitchen back, thus can serve warm dishes with proper china and cutlery.

Yes, sorry, I was talking about the main lounge since that's the only option at the moment. Lunch was decent when it opened with a few salads and hot dishes.

I was there on March 13 arrived at 0800. Sorry no pics. What I found interesting was the main hot dish being served was chili con carne....not exactly flight food! Thanks to all who replied to my earlier query.

I will have the chance to visit the new lounge on the 29th, and I have the choice of two flights - the first one will give me 1,5 hours more in the "Platinum Wing"- what do you guys think is it worth the extra time? I don t like lounges that much, but if they are really premium I enjoy them. What would you guys do?

Longer connection so that you have more time to report here all the news from the lounge. Thank you! :-)

Lounge access
Hey! Flying BA tomorrow to London and I have AY+ Gold. Am I allowed to use the Finnair lounge at non-Schengen? No information on boarding card.

Flying BA with a OW sapphire class card should give lounge access to all OW business class lounges, including AY's.
