Platinum corner (Schengen area)Helsinki Airport (HEL)
★3.7(915 reviews)HEL · intra- Schengen departures
Finnair's top-tier corner on the Schengen side — for premium status flyers within Europe.
The Finnair Platinum corner is the airline's premium space on Helsinki's Schengen side — effectively the intra-Europe equivalent of the non-Schengen Platinum Wing. It sits airside alongside the new Finnair Lounge and is set aside for Finnair's top-tier Plus members and eligible oneworld status holders flying within the Schengen Area. The corner gives Finnair's most frequent European flyers a calmer, more exclusive place to wait than the busier main Schengen lounge, with the same Nordic design language and a focus on quiet and comfort before a short-haul departure.
Crowding · rarely crowded
A quiet place to handle email or a quick call before a short-haul flight, with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and calm surroundings. Best for light work rather than a long focused session.
A lighter spread suited to short-haul intra-Europe departures — snacks, a light buffet and a bar with wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks plus coffee and tea. As a top-tier space, it keeps things calm and well-stocked rather than aiming for a full long-haul buffet.
