Intro
SAS has two lounges located through the same entrance in Copenhagen’s Terminal 3. The SAS Lounge located downstairs and the SAS Gold lounge directly above it on the mezzanine level.
I was unsure about which was better but I went with the principle that applies to Qatar’s Al Mourjan and BA’s Concorde Room Lounges, paid ticket holders in premium cabins get a better lounge than frequent fliers. For what it’s worth, I took a quick peek upstairs at one point and the Gold lounge seemed almost identical, albeit a bit smaller overall with less ample food and drink stations.
The Lounge
I like the fact that there is a dedicated travel centre right by the entrance. If you have a missed connection or any other type of IRROPS the team in this dedicated area will hopefully get you where you’re going as expeditiously as possible and away from the crowds at the regular airline service counters.
The design is quintessentially Scandinavian: pale wood, recessed lighting and clean lines abound. It was great to see that even the barstools have access to a central power column (albeit one without universal sockets). The coffee machine also produced surprisingly good espressos.
A variety of snacks were available at the tea and coffea area. The cold drinks section had a pair of rather unusual red and white wine taps, in addition to the usual beer tap and soda fountains.
The food selection was unfortunately extremely limited. Boiled eggs, vegetables, lingonberries, bread, pastries and cheese.
Conclusion
The design of this lounge is mostly great and I really like the dedicated travel centre and the coffee.
The food selection is poor though and the area by the windows could definitely do with some privacy screens and tables to break the space up a bit.
Overall a decent, well run lounge but nothing worth arriving at the airport early for.
