Had a chance to fly to Tallinn for a day trip (skiing, caving, and a spa; see article or alt. link). It was an early flight on a slow Sunday morning; wonderful airport, spectacular sunrise, and overall smooth experience. Except maybe waiting few minutes for my rental cars, there was no waiting or long walks or any of the other complexities usually involved with international travel.
On the way back I had a chance to experience the Airport LHV Lounge that Finnair uses. Since I was at the airport only around 9pm, most of the food service was already taken away, but there was still some sandwiches and snacks. Overall a nice experience.
While at the lounge, I realized that I was missing something: I didn't have my backpack, with money, credit cards, passport... fortunately I had just left it at security and it was still there when I returned. Phew. And I never, never lose anything while traveling. Probably caused by having too many things to carry on my person, I didn't have any checked luggage except for the skis, so had a few small bags for the helmet, boots, etc. And therefore the backpack was forgotten. Sigh. But all good in the end anyway.
At the airport, there's something that I hadn't seen elsewhere: an openly usable gym:
