New Lumo in da house!
So, today's OUL-HEL was my 150th qualifying segment. OH-LGG witnessed this happy occurrence from an aisle seat next to me.
So I guess I'm Lumo now. Although considering Finnair's track record for speedy posting I wonder when it'll be official. I've got flights on 28.4, 1.5 and 3.5 coming up and it will be interesting to see what kind of a difference (if any) it makes. My qualification period runs until the end of May and I have another 9 flights before the end... |
You guys are totally crazy and Lumo blind for sure but congrats nevertheless, truly hope you see some reward for your time and money spent in running back and forth👍

Insane!
But I was just there on that aisle seat coming from OUL. :p OUL Crew also Lumoued so much that we were invited to Arlanda next. |
Congratulations! Magnificent! Otherwise, I am kinda speechless...
|
Welcome!
|
so lumoying! Congrats! That sounds mych more brave than my record of being the frequent flier with most status miles on TK for one year :D which is only a silly detail compared to a pervert idiotism of 150 butt-in-AY contest

Congratulations! I hope you will be reporting about your Lumo treatment in future. ^
Out of curiosity: How much extra did you need to fly to reach the threshold? I'm assuming you were close enough, and then took some extra flights to reach Lumo. |
Thank you everyone!
So far my first morning as Lumo didn't really stand out from any other morning - woke up tired, it was foggy outside and no breakfast in bed. And the Finnair App thinks I'm still a Plat with two flights to go to Lumohood.

Congratulations! Great achievement indeed. Are you actually the first known segment-earned Lumotic?

So the last two segments posted during the night and I'm now officially a Lumo.
Not many fanfares yet, but I indeed got 8 + 4 upgrade certificates. And that other thread is absolutely right - upgrade availability seems to really have gone downhill a lot. Managed to only spend one shorthaul cert for a confirmed upgrade plus waitlist another one. In addition managed two confirmed longhaul upgrades and waitlisted another one so that's better. I've got a bunch of flights I'd like to upgrade so I guess I'll call in tomorrow and ask about waitlisting those - web gives no option for doing so for these flights. I've got quite a few HEL-CPH/ARN trips which do have upgrade availability but well, seems a bit of a waste to use the certs on these when I've got LHR/CDG/FRA/TXL bubblin' under too... |
Based on my experience, all my requested upgrades have cleared almost instantly. Don't waste them on CPH/ARN.

To the OP - Welcome to Lumonatic club!
I must say that 150 segments (in any booking class) crosses into inhumane working conditions territory... Word of warning - if you have AY branded credit card, they may mightily fck up the renewal. At least they did it for me. |
