Here are some pictures of the Premium Lounge.
The lounge isn't quite as crowded as the Business Lounge and feels more exclusive.
A better selection of food and beverage is on offer including Joseph Perrier Brut Champagne and Napue Gin.
Both lounge share its bathroom and shower room facilities.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of both lounges is the Sauna which is very popular tradition in Finland! (You can access from either lounge)
I did pay a visit to the Sauna during 4pm and have the whole Sauna to myself. It is very refreshing to have a shower afterwards! Note there are actually 2 Sauna, one for male and one for female.
Well, I found both lounges decent, spacious and pleasant to spend time before my flight. Finnair have a hub hours during 2pm-5pm where all the intercontinental and european flights arrive and depart so expect the terminal and the lounge to be more crowded. Much to my surprise, I didn't encounter this issue to a great extent. The Sauna remains empty and I found plenty of empty seats around.
