Aspire-run retreat for OP Financial Group cardholders — not your standard Priority Pass lounge.

About this lounge

The OP Lounge near gate 22 is one of three Aspire-operated lounges at Helsinki Airport, but it stands apart on access. Where the Aspire lounges near gates 13 and 27 take all pay-in guests plus Priority Pass and LoungeKey members, the OP Lounge is an elegant retreat reserved for OP Financial Group customers. Entry is complimentary for OP Gold cardholders who hold a LoungeKey membership and for OP Platinum cardholders who hold a Priority Pass membership — and importantly, other LoungeKey and Priority Pass memberships do not qualify. Operated by Aspire to its usual standard, it gives eligible OP cardholders a calmer, more private alternative to the busier open Aspire lounges.

Food & drink

An Aspire-style buffet with hot and cold dishes, snacks and salads alongside a bar serving wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks plus coffee and tea. The smaller, restricted crowd usually means an unhurried spread.
