Plan to keep with AY enough to earn Lumo in 2020 but I have begun to spread my earnings out a bit. Maybe I will hit lifetime platsku next year or at least in 2021 at latest.
Happy New Year 🥳

This year I reached Finnair Plus Lumo. Downgraded from SAS Eurobonus Diamond to Gold (which I have in any case due to Lifetime Gold). Maintained Swiss Senator (renewed status previous year, no need to do it this year). I am still undecided about next year, whether to focus on renewing Lumo or Senator. Reaching both seems to be quite a stretch and requires optimisation. For me, Lumo was a positive surprise, above expectations.

Nah, nothing really special there. Punta Arenas is nice place, good climate for Finns, good size town and some bars and pubs. Maybe next time I've time for sightseeing. It's very long way to faraway. Especially in Iberia's A346 economy. Luckily it's 8 abreast, so quite ok-ish space.
4½h HEL-MAD, 13h MAD-SCL and 4h SCL-PUQ is not my favorite trip. Altho from there I had to go to South Korea which was also little bit faraway.

First, my expectations for Lumo were low and easy to exceed. But the two soft perks that I have liked most are the onboard recognition and flexibility from customer service. I get the feeling that I can trust to get priority and flexible solutions when they are needed. For example, the management of one irregularity was magnificent, similarly as flexibility with some bookings that required unexpected changes.
