If I were AY, I would have quite different criteria for this supertier. Forget segments, points, whatever and stop to think what kind of FFs you want to award with your highest status.
Perhaps a certain number of paid longhaul J flights? Currently, you earn Platinum after only eight longhaul J segments or four roundtrips. Lumo, maybe 20 longhaul J segments?

Thenagain, what to offer to Lumos. BA has CCR, does Luftwaffe let highest tier to First terminal? In Helsinki there is nothing extra right now except VIP track which I think is Finavia service,or using private flight terminal and direct car delivery to plane. But in essence, there should be something to offer in return, without taking benefits away from lower tiers.
And copying BA, GGl is just the lower level nobility, CCR-card holders are above that-> what after Lumo?

I qualify to plat using segments. This year I won’t ve anywhere near the point limit. Currently have 61 flights, 86k status points and period ends end of April. I should reach roughly 80 flights.
Personally I would hope Lumo becomes similar as SK Pandion, with ”secret” qualification criteria, by invitation only, probably based on spend. I won’t make it, but then AY can better control the number of members and keep the perks at an appropriate level.

Or it could be a glitch from AY IT.

- Complimentary upgrade on Euro flights if there's availability at check-in
- More LH vouchers
- More points
- Lounge access at HEL regardless of carrier (fly KL, enter AY lounge)
- Complimentary snack from Skybistro menu in Y as well as complimentary unlimited drinks
- Chauffeur service from home/work to airport and viceversa in HEL when travelling lonhaul J
I can think of many perks that would be useful for someone who flies a lot, and some of them would cost AY very little but add a lot of extra value.

Yes and no. It would be a degration if you are Platinum Lifetime. If you keep renewing Platinum, it is also a degration in the corner case that you renew during the first 1-5 months (or less) of qualifying period, then have no activity for 18 months straight, and then requalify on whatever the remaining few months of the new qualifying period. It could be something that Finnair has not even considered though.
