Very nice, Finnair has not invited me to s**t 😁😁 but AF was kind enough to invite me to the French Embassy last year

I think its a cool gesture but lately Finnair has been very lazy with interacting with us, I think Allen may change that, or I hope 😁😁

I just flew another AF Y set of flights where I had one crew that was like ay crew and one that was just superb over the top even though I was in Y, so ow its 50/50 but ay needs to add soft touches instead of just ignoring a LUMO for the entire flight 😉

It is far more close now:
Tier points 418715/450k of which 339938/350k Finnair tier points
Qualifying flights 125/150 of which 117/100 Finnair flights
2 months 23 days left.
By the way, does anybody know whether 450k tier points and 100 Finnair flights combo is sufficient for Lumo? Or do you neet to fulfill both requirement in the same category (i.e 450/350 or 150/100)?

I think it is probably just because there are very few of us in the USA. What's your locale? Who is Allen, by the way?

Soft touches are always nice and I am all for it but I am still weeping about the enhanced undeclared benefits, such as second set of vouchers and etc...

The way I have accomplished it was with 450k tier points with 350k on AY metal (most of it was on AY metal). I didn't look at the segments at all. I probably had 40 segments max. And, I needed to fulfill both: 450k total plus 350k on ay metal

Well and today I got my first instant upgrade in years for a flight that is 3 months out! Just a BER-HEL flight, but how I love not being waitlisted! Thanks Finnair, these small gestures matter!

Nice! The residence has great views of the Central Park. In terms of financial return, probably one of the better investments the Finnish state has made. At least during TFG Secret Service was parked in the lobby (Kushners).

I am looking forward to the visit for sure!

I see the combo does not work. I have sufficient Tier points and sufficient Finnair flight segments, but I am still Platinum.
I have now
Tier points 453715/450k of which 339938/350k Finnair tier points
Qualifying flights 125/150 of which 117/100 Finnair flights
It looks like it is mandatory to achieve 350k Finnair tier points.

As far as I know, if you're qualifying by points you need to meet the 350K AY requirement, and by segments the 100 segment requirement. These are not interchangeable.

How many new Lumos here from this 3-year mega long tracking period? I can count three so far. I will join the group later in the summer.

Received the TUMI carryon on June 2. It was sitting at my office address. No custom fees. It is a nice suitcase, although I would not have bought myself if I had a choice/need. At any rate, I do like the finnair logo on it and it is free (sort of :-) )
