Coming from the upstairs priority security this is the view... I did NOT see anyone checking where one goes downstairs so perhaps one could just go straight?! Rather silly as I looked and CDG AMS FRA MUC etc were all on the domestic side 😲🤦
Two cafes were open in T1 and everywhere is full not pleasant!

Apologies if this has been posted before. Just spotted that there are some Lumo homes becoming available in Olari at the address of Koronakatu. A bit ironic...

The worst are opening hours of the salad bar! Gives the same disappointment when you land at XYZ lounge and enter the saladroom just to find out, oh sir the service closes at 9pm

Whats the deal with Nyx operating some domestic routes? The reason I ask is I'm looking for flights to Haparanda/Tornio again to cart the kids North to see Mummu for xmas 21. We just did a summer tour via ARN to LLA, which is a decent connection followed by a 90-120 min drive. KEM would be so much better, but Norra/AY don't plan on flying there in the W21/22 schedule. Instead Nyx is going there with SAAB 2000s. KEM is just 15-20 mins away, and I don't think I have flown on the aircraft before... but Nyx doesn't really evoke much trust. I don't mind the potential of my wife freaking out when she sees the little plane, but are they going to operate the schedule they have put up for the winter, especially around xmas?
