I have a long layover on the 27th. I thought about heading into town or getting a room at the Hilton, but then I remembered the new lounge is supposed to open on the 26th! I will look forward to reporting back.

Finnair Premium Lounge in the non-Schengen area opposite gate 50.
Access: oneWorld Emeralds or AY Sapphire with any oneWorld ticket. Other Sapphires can access the Premium Lounge during non-peak hours.
October 2018 - April 2019: Lounge closed

I'll have QR308, so tough choice. Neither options are very interesting (I'l fly before the new Plat Wing opens) Maybe I just make use for a nearly final time of DC and almost@home.

When is Plaza Premium opening anyway? I thought they'd said early March but now I'm not sure.

If you look up at the signs to the gates when walking towards the lounge they have signposted a much longer route (passing by the new transit security) so I suspect there will be some closing of corridors and more shops (or perhaps ikea style maze that makes you walk 200m to actually travel 50m forwards).
