We arrived from Los Angeles at around 10AM, while our connecting flight to Oslo was at 1:40PM. We could have booked a flight which left us just an hour connection, but decided to leave a longer layover, just to be sure we’d make it, and also so we could get caught up on work. In…

I also like the SAS lounge in ORD, albeit small, it has everything you need to pass an hour or 2 in a lounge. And it's usually quiet unless you're close to an SAS departure time.
Hi Ben,
Nice report!
I can't agree more about the non-existing signage to the lounges. I had fellow travellers who missed a lounge visit or ended up in a small "summer version" lounge on the other side of the terminal.
As i can guess from your pics you guys ended up in the SAS Plus/Business class lounge (located on the right of the main entrance). For SAS Diamond/Gold as well as Star alliance gold there is a separate lounge located just on the left of the main entrance (the automated doors on the background of your 6th and 7th picture).
Pretty much same service except for the shower rooms which might had been something for you during the long layover.
There is a separate *G Lounge next door that is soo much nicer in terms of food and drinks. You turn left exiting the elevators to access it.
Why not make a right turn for the *G lounge?? Much nicer and you would have liked to get a nap in the comfy chairs overlooking the B pier
@petros, I don't really know how the signage is as Arlanda is my home airport, I never look for signs, but the Summer version of the lounge you mentioned was probably the temporary lounge they used while they renovated the ordinary business and Gold lounges located by the A-pier (next to gate 1.
Ben, enjoyed this report and it looks and sounds very similar to the SAS lounge in CPH.
That’s sort of brilliant, given the number of times I’ve incorrectly been denied lounge access by humans who didn’t understand the rules. Might as well automate that process!
At least you then can argue your case or call the supervisor...what happens, if your barcode is not correct, because some guy did not register your frequent flyer status?? Then you are left out in the rain!
Unfortunately, I got a very bad impression of the lounge. Yes, it's quiet there (if there are no kids there) and there's a lot of seating options, but the food is ... non-existent. I understand it was Sunday evening, but some prepackaged food, fresh fruit or chilled yogurt don't require personal assistance and would be greatly appreciated by those hungry passengers in transfer, whose lunch pre-order didn't, for some reason, reach the crew cabin's list. And it was dirty.
I would post the photos, but cannot ses this option.
