Overview

Opened in July 2024, the new Finnair Lounge at Helsinki Vantaa Airport lounge on the Schengen side promises to be an improvement over the airline’s legacy club.

The lounge features distinct zones for work, dining, and relaxation, with panoramic tarmac views.

Guests will find a wide array of seating options, including inviting curved couches, recliners, and soundproof workspaces. The decor was conceived as an extension of Finnair’s new business class cabins and was inspired by the airlines brand identity. Round shapes, blue tones, and natural materials, along with eye-catching designer Finnish furniture, aim at fostering a modern, distinguished, and relaxing ambiance.

Finnair Lounge – Helsinki (HEL) Schengen Terminal

The lounge boasts a selection of snacks, a rotating hot dish, and a variety of desserts. Finnair also offers soft drinks, wines, sparkling wine, beer, and Finnish long drink.

Dining area at the Finnair Lounge HEL (Schengen)

The Finnair Lounge is divided into two sections. The main Business Lounge area welcomes all lounge-eligible customers (oneworld business class passengers and oneworld Sapphire members), while the more exclusive Platinum Corner is reserved for Finnair Plus Platinum Lumo, Platinum, and oneworld Emerald members.

The Platinum corner at the Finnair Lounge Helsinki (Schengen departures)

The amenities on both sides are substantially the same, but the Platinum Corner is more stylish and less crowded. Access to the Platinum Corner is also available as an add-on purchase (€30 or 4,800 Avios.) Note that on the non-Schengen side, Finnair operates two completely separate facilities, the Business Lounge and the Platinum Wing. The latter is famous for its sauna.

Have to compliment the lounge people here: When I told them that I didn’t have lunch today they made delicious gluten free meat balls especially for me. Thanks! Appreciate that very much.

Best service ever – And I do travel a lot…
