Shower - Arrivals lounge? and (observations from last flight)

Hi all, New to the Finnair forum. I'm traveling business class from BKK - HEL arriving at 6a and have a meeting after this about 10am. I don't see that AY has an arrivals lounge but is it possible to use a lounge or is there a lounge that I can use? I'm One World if that helps but I also don't mind paying.

On a side note I travelled Finnair two weeks ago BKK/HEL/MUC and returned from PRG/HEL/MUC and I have to say I was very impressed with great flights, food options etc. Schengen lounge when connecting to MUC was great, however the return as you all know the lounge is under renovation. (I knew this ahead of time and thought it can't be that bad, but it was. As I had time I walked back and used the Schengen lounge again which was no problem.

Looking forward to my next flight.

AY Plat and Lumo can shower on arrival. Not sure about OWE. The rest is generally out of luck, unless the lounge is very empty and you get lucky that the dragon let's you in. Payable option might be in Aspire lounge - IIRC, cards like Priority Pass only granted you access, but showers were subject to an extra fee (could be like €15). Of course, I assume you need to have the access first as it's not a Plaza Premium concept.

Good luck trying to access HEL airside (and any lounge) after arriving from BKK without onward boarding pass / itinerary.

In Helsinki, a cost effective option would be going to a public swimming hall in the city. On weekdays many of them open around 6 AM.

It was more than 2 years ago I got in Schengen lounge for shower without onward BP. No idea if still today you might access.

I think the perk is gone. I have been denied a shower on arrival as a Lumo at the lounge 3/3 times that I tried this past year.

For a Lumo, denying this is really nickelanddiming IMO

I think my stats is 2/2 success, although at least once I had to point out the tier. Go figure :/
