SAS has a number of lounges throughout its network, and one of the lounges I got to visit was a lounge in Oslo.
When I had accessed this lounge, it was still a part of Star Alliance, however here are the access rules, and I’d argue they’re pretty generous:
- SAS Premium Class Passengers on domestic flights
- EuroBonus Gold or Diamond member or a SkyTeam Elite Plus member
- EuroBonus Gold and Diamond members can also bring 1 guest or up to 4 immediate family members (spouse, partner, parents and children) if they’re traveling on the same SAS or SkyTeam flight as you
- Purchase access online, or at the lounge itself
With that said, the Oslo domestic lounge is right across from gate A2.
This lounge follows the usual tradition of automated entry gates where you can scan your boarding pass which includes your guests as well. and enter the lounge based on that. Sometimes there can be a weird one-off where someone’s boarding pass doesn’t work, and there will always be someone who can manually scan you guys in.

Seating
The lounge itself isn’t terribly big, so you can imagine at certain times the lounge gets crowded, but there is a variety of seating to supplement different needs.
Throughout the lounge, they also had coat racks at different places, which I would say is a very functional feature, especially for a lounge at a Nordic airport.
You also had the standard European power ports with USB ports.
Other Amenities
There were also quite meeting rooms where individuals could take meetings and phone calls.
I didn’t take a picture of them, but the lounge did have bathrooms and showers. I always appreciate a lounge with a shower because you never know what kind of day you’ll have before going to the airport. I’ve had plenty of crazy work trip days where I’ve had time to go directly to the airport and needed a shower and it was super nice to have the option.
Food and Beverages
For a domestic lounge, the food options were pretty decent.
Firstly, there was a cafe where you could order all kinds of coffee drinks which was cool.
The buffet was a little further into the lounge, but well loaded.
Conclusion
All things considered, this is a great lounge to spend a little bit of time prior to a domestic flight. You absolutely do not need to come 3 hours early for a lounge like this, but 1-2 hours is plenty. This is a lounge where you’ll find some food to fill you up, drinks, wifi, all kinds of coffe drinks, and a decent variety of seats.
