Priority Pass Lounges at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport

At Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL), Priority Pass members can enjoy access to three distinctive lounges, each offering a refreshing blend of Nordic design, tranquility, and premium amenities—across both Schengen and Non-Schengen areas.

In Terminal 1, the Aspire Lounge by Gate 13 welcomes travelers within the Schengen zone. Located near Gate 13, this lounge offers a cozy and contemporary space filled with natural light, Finnish furnishings, and calming hues. Open daily from 5:00 AM to 7:30 PM, it provides a buffet with light bites, hot and cold drinks, and a curated selection of local beers and wines. Wi-Fi, workstations, newspapers, and television make this a practical and relaxing stop for both business and leisure travelers.

Over in Terminal 2, still within the Schengen zone, the Aspire Lounge by Gate 27 offers a slightly larger space with expansive runway views, ideal for travelers who prefer a quieter setting. Open daily from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM, the lounge features light refreshments, beverages, and comfortable seating throughout. The vibe here is relaxed, and it’s well-suited for travelers seeking a peaceful moment before their European flight.

For those departing on Non-Schengen international routes, the Plaza Premium Lounge in Terminal 2 delivers a sleek and upscale environment. Located airside in the Non-Schengen area near Gate 40, it’s open from 5:30 AM to 11:30 PM. Expect a buffet with both local and international cuisine, a full-service bar, and a soothing atmosphere punctuated by minimalist Finnish décor. High-speed Wi-Fi, ample charging points, and dedicated workspaces make it especially appealing for long-haul travelers. Shower facilities are also available—a welcome feature for those in transit or embarking on intercontinental flights.

All three lounges admit Priority Pass members with a maximum stay of three hours, and children under two are typically welcomed free of charge. Access may be limited during peak hours due to space restrictions.
