The OPC came about because Lufthansa wanted to pass on the merchant fees imposed by the banks to the consumer. This practice is legally questionable as vendors are not supposed to pass on such fees in the first place. Then the EU force Visa/MC to reduce their merchant fees for personal cards. So LH quietly reduced the OPC to a minimal amount that is the same for most cards, and irregardless of business or personal use.

Next to the stairs to the Schengen lounge, Finnair had a ‘voluntary passenger and hang luggage weight’ study. I did not participate. The weight of my hand luggage isn’t a problem, the passenger on the other hand...
Would be interesting to know what they try to achieve? Surely they must understand that people with heavy hand luggage won’t expose themselves to the airline by participating?

I hope this is a sign that AY will soon start enforcing their carry-on limits.

With that spelling one starts to wonder if the article was written by well travelled bisnetic person from Brisbane.

While on that topic, there is quite amusing long thread in our neighbour forum about what you can/might take and carry with you from an airplane. Did some of you stuff the plat-JP ordered for Erika to your bag and home to your real Erika (nah you drink it on the way on P-train like locals). Or what about LGG asking for second and third Riistaleipä as he is hungry but stuffs them in the bag instead (this might be an acceptable cause, since the ARN flight is so short that you cannot indulge the bad the taste in such a short hop)? What else could you take and how, and why?

I consistently take a couple of Fazer chocolates from the lounge. A couple means like 4–5. I stuck them in my cabin bag and enjoy them in some far away land in the peace and quiet of my hotel room. 
And in the non-Schengen lounge, I ask for a bottle of still water and say it's for the flight because I don't want them to open it. No problems.
Other than that, I can't really see there's anything worth stealing in the AY lounges.
