I'm ready to party.

I hope they don't keep a "100 most" threshold for the Lumo level, otherwise you guys will increase the access threshold ;)

Was just denied arrival lounge access as a Lumo.

Schengen or non-Schengen?

That doesn't sound very nice. Were you arriving from a AY/OW flight, and this was in HEL?

Arriving on a Schengen AY flight to HEL

Surprises me as well but maybe it's good to realize, for all of us, that Lumos are still a half a step below the AY CEO in terms of access all areas..:)

I suggest you send feedback about this. It might be that AY just hasn’t really thought about the whole thing.

100+ lumos x 150 segments x 0,5 new lounge visits. Potentially 20,5 more seats that needs reservation every single day of the year.

Hardly that much. I would only be interested in using arrival lounge if

1. I was in need of a shower for having traveled a long time
2. I needed a place to do some work immediately after the trip
3. It was not very late (which it usually is when I am returning home)

I do realise that travel pattern/preferences will affect the actual numbers, which is why I wrote potentially. To be fair, I didn't count the 4 guests which potentially drives the numbers fivefold to 102 new seats needed every day of the year.

Just to avoid misunderstanding. I am not saying arrival lounge is an unreasonable perk. I am just saying people should consider the numbers before taking the perk for given.

Thus far, I have not had a single guest enter the lounge with me during my Lumo era even though every single boarding pass has called for 4 guests. It might have been different if I actually travelled with someone.

I could understand if the lounge was busy, but it definitely was not. Maybe Finnair should consider arrival benefit on a space available basis. I was only planning to freshen up and have a quick coffee before a meeting. I would have been in there 20 minutes tops.
