Introduction

SAS has a single lounge in Copenhagen in the Schengen area. This lounge is meant to cater to the schengen and non-schengen flights that SAS has so it is a little bigger than average.

The entrance is pretty notably visible here and you can’t really miss it,

Access Rules

Now let me tell you about the access rules to this lounge:

You’re welcome to visit SAS lounges if you’re traveling on SAS or SkyTeam, have a valid same-day boarding pass and meet one of the following criteria:

  • You’re traveling in Business Class on SAS or a Skyteam carrier

  • You’re a EuroBonus Gold or Diamond member or a SkyTeam Elite Plus member (+1 guest or up to 4 immediate family members including spose, partner, parents, and children if on the same skyteam/SAS flight as you)

The lounge has automated entry gates however there are staff nearby to assist in case something goes wrong.

Seating

This lounge didn’t have the most access to natural light, but given the high ceilings, it had a very spacious feeling.

With all that also came a large space to distribute a good number of seats. This picture should ust give a sense of the vastness of the space. I’m not saying its the biggest lounge out there, but it was spacey.

You also had office style seating where people could sit upright and plug any devices into power ports.

So as you can see from all of the pictures above, there were all kinds of seating based on your needs.

Daylight Booster

Now given that we are in the Nordics, there is a special feature in this lounge called the daylight booster. It wasn’t of much use when I was here given that I was there during the summer time, however during the winter, I can see how this would be used a lot more. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

You had the usual normal cold European breakfast items like yogurts and cold cuts.

This cheese cutter is something I’ve seen in so many European countries and its funny because I only see this in Europe and nowhere else but its incredibly functional.

There was also a humble selection of wines and beers in another corner of the lounge if you were looking for it.

The Lounge did also have shower facilities but I did not use them. Overall, this is a solid lounge with decent food and seating options and a special daylight room which is such a heads up feature to have during those dark nordic winters. This lounge can get crowded during peak hours given that this is the main lounge for for all SAS passengers on all international flights, whether Schengen or non-Schengen. And also if you are flying non-Schengen, this lounge is before the secondary passport control, so give yourself plenty of time to get to your gate as the line was super long when we left the lounge. We gave ourself about 30 minutes from when we left the lounge to boarding and we almost missed our flight entirely because of how long the passport control lines took to get into the non-schengen side.
