On a HEL-BMA morning flight noticed a wrinkled cardboard slip, most likely tore down from some box, on the service trolley with markings in ballpoint pen:

How lumotic is that, a real artesan handmade note!
On a full flight of 72pax, quite a lot of Lumos.

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.

- I was in need of a shower for having traveled a long time
- I needed a place to do some work immediately after the trip
- 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.
