Unveiling the New Schengen Business Lounge
Opening on July 9th, 2024, the new lounge near Gate 21, designed by Studio Laajisto, reflects the serenity of the Nordic landscape.
The design includes local Finnish furniture, embracing warm colors, wooden textures, and a view of the runway that complements the airport's modern aesthetic.
Platinum Corner: A Haven for the Elite
The new lounge introduces the 'Platinum Corner,' exclusively for Finnair Plus Platinum, Platinum Lumo members and Oneworld Emerald frequent flyers. This area is designed to offer an elevated level of comfort and service, featuring added privacy and luxury.
The Platinum Corner allows Finnair Plus Platinum Lumo members to bring four guests and offers a premium relaxation space separate from the main lounge area, accessible to Business class, Finnair Plus Gold and Oneworld Sapphire cardholders.
Lounge Features and Accessibility
The new Finnair Schengen Lounge, accommodating up to 440 guests—150 more than the previous capacity—includes separate areas for dining, working, and relaxation.
Accessibility has been thoughtfully considered, with the lounge reachable via elevator or escalator from the central square of Helsinki Airport.
It caters not only to business class travelers but also offers paid access options, ensuring that various travelers can enjoy the lounge's facilities.
Enhancing the Finnair Experience
Finnair stands out not only for its operational routes but also for its commitment to customer satisfaction and safety, regarded as one of the safest airlines globally.
My personal experience with Finnair, especially when redeeming Enrich Miles for economy class seats, has consistently highlighted the airline's dedication to quality and comfort. I redeemed several seats on Finnair Premium Economy Class last year for my family, and they haven't stopped talking about the experience ever since!
Final Thoughts
The new Finnair Schengen Lounge is more than just a waiting area; it's a testament to Finnair's dedication to excellence and customer care.
With luxurious amenities, exclusive areas for elite members, and a serene environment reflecting Nordic elegance, Finnair is setting new standards for travel comfort.
Whether you're starting a journey to Europe or coming from Asia, the new lounge at Helsinki Airport promises to enhance your travel experience, making every departure as memorable as the destination.
