Review: SAS Lounge Copenhagen Airport (CPH)

You forgot to mention the bedrooms available. I always ask for a bedroom when arriving from an intercontinental flight, to get some more sleep and a shower (bathrooms with showers are connected to each bedroom).

Bedrooms are a huge plus in my opinion, although I hate to see the business class lounge closed (which in addition to the bedrooms upstairs has showerrooms available)

Used to love this lounge. Tons of space, comfortable seating and the WiFi was fast enough to download a few episodes of a show to your tablet.

3 stars is generous Ben, it should be a 2 star lounge given the crowds and pitiful food/drink selections.

I've used this lounge a number of times over recent years, as the Faroe Islands have become a favorite destination of mine, and personally I quite like this lounge. There is a small window in the mornings when it gets pretty crowded with business travelers (which it seems like you hit), but even then I've never had any trouble getting a comfortable space in the area with the workstations.

Personally, I like the food as I prefer yogurt and granola with good Danish cold cuts, pate, and cheese to the poor quality egg dishes that most lounges with hot food serve with breakfast. Also, I don't see a photo of the juice dispenser, but (assuming it is still there) I appreciate that they have rhubarb juice.

I do agree that the area with the couches is kinda ridiculous. Most of the time there will be a single family spread out all over one of L-shaped couches, which just seems like not a good utilization of the space.

I've actually never bothered to try the PP lounge in CPH because I've found this one to be better than the vast majority of PP lounges I've been to, so I'm excited to see your upcoming review of that one.

Even if fully open, doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the Stockholm Arlanda SAS Lounge.

I went through the Lounge on Saturday, and it was really really crowded as well.
But i took my food downstairs, and the drink dispensers was working, so had all the space for myself

The Fast Track is to the left when you go up the escalator in Terminal 3 (There is a sign on the wall)

@Lucky, a few points of clarification (at least based on my pre-pandemic experiences).

First, SAS Plus is both their intra-Europe premium cabin and long-haul Premium Economy.

Second, the SAS Fast Track is only for SAS Business, SAS Plus, and SAS elites (not sure which levels). Non-SK *G flying on SAS didn't qualify. Too bad you went to the main checkpoint (the fast track there is fine, but the SAS one never had a line).

Third, it looks like they consolidated the lounges, so what you used was/is normally the SAS Gold lounge. Turn right and upstairs is for *G only. Turn left and the ground floor is the SAS Business lounge for Business, Plus, and SK *S. The Business lounge has shower rooms (sink + shower).

The Gold lounge was always packed pre-pandemic, but it had slightly better F&B options (barista coffee, wine from bottles instead of tap, etc.). If you were *G, you had to go to the Business lounge service desk for a shower key or a key to one of the two en suite nap rooms upstairs.

I haven't been since the 'rona, but I love that lounge. Yes, it gets crowded, but it's just so... Danish. I think the breakfast menu very much reflects Denmark.

Haven't been to that one but the one in Brussels was really underwhelming. I've been to the two PP lounges in CPH and the breakfast food looks the same. Still better than most US lounges.

Did you visit both PP lounges? If not, I hope you visited (and reviewed) Carlsberg Aviator Lounge and not Aspire Lounge. The Aspire lounge is extremely underwhelming (at best). lol

Went 5-6 years ago. Doesn’t seem to have changed much. Thanks ts nice but very crowded usually. I just went to a restaurant/bar. Lots of options to chose from.

Airport lounges in Scandinavia are generally horrible. Been to two different Priority Pass Lounges in CPH, one in Gothenborg and one SAS Lounge in Oslo. All horrible, with no or only pretty bad hot food options and everything just feeling "cold" and sort of "reserved lifestyle"-ish in a negative way.

Pitful f&b offerings ? Compared to us lounges for example ???

I spent several hours on 4 layovers in january 2022 at sas lounge and liked it. the food seclection reflects scandinavia very well. I loved the white bread and the butter bowl, simple but delish. The salads offered have been fresh and appetising and so was the soup of the day. Beer on tap, red and white wine from late morning onward and buttery cakes to accombine fresh made (maschine) coffee what else can be expacted in hard times foe airlines. Keep in mind sas struggles heavy with financal base so the offer in my mind is more than u can expect. Arlanda is better in fact but compared to lufthansa at my base in munich and most us lounges ( exept polaris and amex) i“d say sas cph is reliable.

Scandinavians dont eat any hot food for breakfast, exept of porridge.

The same applies to most Europeans outside UK & Ireland so having substantial hot breakfast offer at CPH would be a tremendous waste of money.

I still can't wrap my head around how anyone can eat bacon before 3 PM 😀

SAS lounge is not worth it .
If you book the wrong date by mistake online and paid , they refuse to change it even though you call them immediately !!
All they say is no change , no refund even if you cancel the flight booking .
Rip off !!

I have 18 hours layover at CPH. Travelling Business class from MCT -IST-BER on *Alliance Turkish Airlines and BER-CPH-KEF on SAS on a Single ticket/ booking ref no. I have Iceland Visa. I spoke to SAS agent. He said that they do not offer any hotel accomodation. But she said, I am free to leave the airport.
However without a transit visa how can I leave the airport? Any suggestions? I am willing to pay for the hotel . Any possibility of spending 18 hours at SAS lounge? Do they have sleeping facility?

Loved this lounge! Visited before flight to US. Very Scandinavian in decor and food choice which is a nice change. I found it on par with SFO Polaris lounge I was in last month.
