Especially when it was midsommar in GOT and Sweden too, it was the best option to bring own.

I drove GOT-STO during the night and it took 2,5 hours to find place for water and any drinks.
So next time I go pick up the car from Sweden during the midsommar, need to take screwdriver and water.

In what kind of package/case/bag did you place the screwdriver? Curious if they stuck the checked tag label directly on the screwdriver — as that would be novel. :D

So cute little screwdriver bag, had to drop it to Special luggage belt

Looks like Lumo snack has been silently cut?! The website now only mentions complimentary drink for Lumos as well (the language has changed).

I am extremely surprised at the rate they are watering down Lumo, there's really not much above Plat benefits to begin with...

(FWIW, it also might be a copy-paste error from Plat benefits as they have changed wordings for other benefits in that section as well).

I don‘t see any change in English, also in the tier comparison table there is still the free snack.

Free drink and snack

You and your travel companion will receive a free drink and a snack when flying in Finnair Economy Class. Please note that a free drink and snack are only available on flights with an onboard menu. Other services apply according to the travel class.

Ah yes, then it is likely that this is a very amateurish copy-paste error - nothing too surprising per se...

(The tier comparison matrix has never been very accurate though, mentioning "Free snacks" and "Free drinks" like they were unlimited)

I also noticed the new wording on the Finnish version of the website last week. At least for now things haven't changed, I just had a complimentary Pasta Carbonara about two hours ago.

Never thought about it or forgotten, I also sticked my eye on the text in plural…

Does anyone knows it the softlanding to Gold is still ongoing? And if not when does the status end? Exactly on the date? I remember a "three month" rule, but nor sure about it.

Damn, the first dime since close to 20 years that I won t renew my Plat, most AY flights flown on points this year and 2024.

Yes, soft landing still exists as of now. You will keep your current status for one month after the tracking period ends, and sharply on the next day, you will be Gold.

I might be dense here, but is this extra month of plathood the real deal, ie full recognition of the tier in all situations?

I'm just remembering the 3 (?) month extended period they used to offer that was only done to cover the time it took for them to produce a new physical card. IIRC, if you swiped such a card and you hadn't renewd your status it came back with the lower status.

Yes, for this time the status will show on your BP and will get you full flight benefits (of course you still get Gold vouchers etc).

Just experienced it with Lumo->Plat soft landing. Even had an itinerary with a flight on 28 February and then 1 March (after tracking period ended on 31 Jan). The status was updated midway journey and Lumo benefits ended after the flight that departed 28 Feb.

As I stated above, you get Gold vouchers, wouldn't make much sense to get Plat vouchers if you hadn't qualified for those.

Now I get it. Misunderstanding on my side :D
