No lounge access for OW Sapphires in HEL while renovations are on?

[missafternoondelight]

Don't know if this warrants a new thread, or if it should go elsewhere.. in any case... thought I would mention that while AY lounge renos are going on, only OW Emeralds and those flying J / F will be admitted into the Aspire Lounge. As a Sapphire (QF SG) I was told by Finnair staff yesterday I would not be admitted. Not sure if this is official policy or not, but thought I would pass on the info in case anyone is planning a long layover there.

OW website confirms what you've said:

You would have had access to Aspire lounge had you Priority Pass card.

Hmmm Priority Pass eh. Haha I'm such an amateur, hadn't heard of that before. Seems quite reasonable. Sounds like a good plan though, deejo77.
