Is the spa at Helsinki still around?

[flychrisfly]

Hi, I researched the spa at Helsinki airport ages ago for an upcoming trip when I have a 4 hour stop over between JFK and ARL. I planned to make full use of it and wanted to book a treatment or 2 or 3... before I left home. However, I cannot find any reference to it either on the Finnair website or the Helsinki Vantaa airport website any more. Where has it gone?!?!

Think it closed last year for some sort of renovation but no updates seen yet...

Oh. Thanks for the update.

4 hours in Vantaa is probably way too long...

Definitely way too long, my longest transit has been 45 mins but did the trip to the city once as well on an 8 hour stop (because of late incomming aircraft) but I don't think 4 hours is long enough to head into town

Luckily, I never ended up killing 4 hours in Vantaa, my flight into JFK was delayed due to weather so I missed the connection to HEL. Was rerouted via LHR then to ARL and arrived a few hours later than planned. T5 at LHR was hell with the 'limpics. On a positive note they credited me with points and status credits for those 2 sectors even though the whole trip was booked on points
