Hi, I have a Finnair flight from Singapore to HEL coming up. I wanted to check out the various lounges (Qantas business, BA and Qatar) that I can access; how early do they allow entry?
Google AI says 3 hours prior to departure and factoring in boarding time is typically 1 hour prior to departure, does that mean I can access from 6.35pm onwards for a 9.35pm departure?

Thanks for any insights.

There’s early checkin (bag drop) at the Jewel.

Finnair is from 12pm (noon).

Once you’ve checked you’re bags and obtained a BP (if you didn’t have it already), you can proceed immediately airside.

The constraint then is the operating hours of the various lounges and OW status / class of travel.

Yes I did see that in the pointhacks article and will make use of early bag drop. So you think that after bags are dropped, all good to go into the lounges if they are open? That is awesome

Yes, absolutely.

AFAIK, the QF J lounge opens first (around 2pm) followed by the QF F lounge. I think BA around 5 or 6pm? As does QR (but only for those in F or J).

EK won’t be in play if flying AY.

Finnair will probably direct you to a 3rd party lounge. Don’t bother.
