After searching, I found that skates are usually OK for handbaggage but resteictions vary by airline. AY says:
- Skates are allowed when departing from Helsinki, but other destinations might have restrictions
- Objects with a sharp edge or workmen's tools capable of being used to threaten the safety of the aircraft

I’d love to see boarding passes be green so that woke and green DYKWIA’s can brag about their sustainability to others!

Where does it say this? Not on the booking form at least. Also, why does HUS then provide a cetrificate for travel including passport number? Höpöhöpö I say. I'm taking back every penny I can from the government.

The articles I cite here are a year old however so things might have changed. I'd be very happy to be proven wrong here, as that would mean future money-saving :-)

The HUS travel certificate was introduced at a time when the government wanted to test everybody and then some. Sneeze once, and they wanted to poke your nose. I regarded the certificate as an incentive to have people getting tested.
Sure, after that, the very same government has changed their mind a gazillion times. I have no idea what their current mindset is, or what it is tomorrow, or next month. They don't know themselves, either. I am just happy that they will pay for my test, and I feel no shame. Not about flying and not about getting tested.

Quite höpöhöpö if this not has not been reported earlier.
Point transfer from spouse to I - 10 eur of 410k.
Used to be much more tedious. Now the question remains how to spend 2M...
Avios seem to pose a similar problem as QR has declined their own currency. Avios program is quite costly and restricted for transfers even within "family accounts".

With Avios you don't need to move points - the Avios in the several family accounts are pooled and when redeeming each is charged proportionally (difficult to describe, simple in practice)

At the aspire lounge in HEL, the construction is quite annoying, lots of drilling noises etc...
Just FYI if anyone is planning on relaxing here plan again
