Hannamari from the chat told me
When I asked: "Also, it was said that the Finnair Plus program will have improvements in April, do you have an exact date for that, as it is already the 24th? :-)"
And she added the following when asking if it would be in May or June:
It is the date now but it can be changed still

Ok, Lumo can have 4 guests to the lounge on AY flights. If one is travelling on a non-OW airline, is the lounge invitation personal or can there be 4 guests as well? (Talking strictly about HEL lounges)
Do Lumos get arrival lounge access?

Based on today's Helsingin Sanomat magazine Finnair will install onboard wifi capability during this summer for all planes in the European Airbus fleet. I hope they will keep it complementary for Platinum members.

With SK, Gold gets access arriving on intercontinental flights, while Diamond gets access with any flight. This is something I really value so it would be a nice perk.

Award flights may not be the best way to get maximum out of AY points... And soon the juniors will grow up anyway.

These "improvements" are mostly for those who fly 1-2 times in a year.
This looks like AY is fighting against DY U2 FR etc. and trying to please travellers who are flying to European cities for a weekend once or twice a year.
Hey, My dream destination is ARN. Who wants to collect award points with me so we can execute our dream.
