New opening hours for the lounge 6 am - 11 pm. Breakfast menu served until 11 am.
So you take a sauna only, who does that? Sounds like no idiot planned that, or then, the opposite

Opening hours are now opportunity 😁

Promo till 31MAR22: entry + 1h sauna 36€. After that 40€. I was disappointed to learn that the sauna undergoes a 2–hour cleaning just when the afternoon wave arrives at HEL (16-18 pm). Great planning again for an “arrival” lounge no doubt from some cv self-upgrader
who has so much relevant experience that they were gaining experience for this role before they were born.

It may sound expensive to Finland based people but if you transfer at HEL and your time is limited, €25 for this Finnish sauna experience is not bad at all.
Even better that you can take a shower before or after a long flight.

That'll make two of us. You'll recognize me from red sweater, jeans and a not very recently trimmed beard.

They must be learning from the best around But that said, the food here is absolutely the best lounge food by a pretty decent margin at least until/if/when the plat wing opens again..
