So wirklich einfach ist die Lounge nicht zu finden (von anschreiben halten die nicht so viel hier, das ist in FRA, MUC etc. besser), aber ich habe mich wieder wage erinnert von meinen Milageruns aus früheren Tagen. Man hat gemerkt das die Lounge gerade erst aufgemacht hat und sich alles am Essen und dem Kaffeeautomaten gestaut hat (ok, es gibt auch Spezialisten die sich 3 Espressos am Stück rauslassen müssen). Die Gold-Lounge ist sehr großzügig beim Platzangebot und auch das Essensangebot und die Getränke sind ausreichend. Hier läßt es sich angenehm auf den Flug warten (wifi funktioniert auch gut und man kann ein wenig an seinem Tagebuch schreiben 😉 ).
I had expected more from the food selection. I, who cannot tolerate milk, could certainly eat a breakfast as there was vegan butter, but at lunch there was nothing more than different green salad leaves and cured ham. There were dishes on the menu without milk, but they didn't have any for the day. I think that it is quite easy to fix a pasta salad e.g. without milk, which is then suitable for lactose intolerant, vegans and milk allergy sufferers. Is so common these days, it should be easy to solve. Had to go buy food instead. Otherwise okay lounge.
Clean, crisp and Nordic! Only challenge is seating at busy times....full to the brim. Need to classify lounges somehow like the Senator lounge at Lufthansa....
One of SAS' main hubs. The lounge is getting old, too small and the offering is usually ok, but I tend to eat somewhere else at the airport before arriving at the lounge. Its not known to be the best one to be diplomatic. Both the lounge and Arlanda as an airport is in need of an upgrade.Cleanliness in the loungethough, is usually good (except for the serving-area during rush hour) and the staff are service-minded ensuring that everything is cleaned quite quickly. Sit back, recharge and relax.
A nice lounge when there are 10 people in, but normally it is severely overcrowded. Arlanda is the only airport where I have to queue for a toilet visit in lounges. No wonder there's not much to eat, and what is there tastes less than pleasant, though one can find some drinks. It is still much better than the old lounge in the old domestic terminal, which I hope I will never have to visit again.
There are two lines here. The "basic" one I would give it two stars. It is probably the worst Star Alliance lounge in Europe which is unacceptable as the hub of SAS.Food is limited to a few vegetarian salads (one contains traces of salmon), cookies, bread and butter and a limited selection of drinks.The gold lounge has similar food even though the salad had a lot more salmon and there is also a hot dish as well as more beverages. Still quite poor for a Star Alliance hub lounge.The space is also quite limited in both lounges and sometimes we have to wait for a table.
Food range is not what it once was and the move to paper plates and wooden cutlery is a clear disappointment. Far too few toilets which creates queues. I start to feel little benefit to the gold lounge over the regular one.
It's ok, not the usual extravagant lounge experience. Food selection is very limited, sparse and of mediocre quality. Everything is served in cheap unstable paper cups that gradually dissolves. But if you want a quiet moment and a coffee it works.
SAS Business lounge... Not the Gold lounge.Convenient, but very crowded each of the three times I've been. It is the typical airport lounge, limited snack foods, coffee and beer/wine. WiFi works, about half the seats do not have charge points. Perhaps the gold lounge is better.
Nice lounge in ARN airport, not crowded at all, even if it was rush hour. There are plenty of seats, very nice design, not a great variety of food, but at least it was tasty. I gave them four stars just because I don’t found it proper to have soda drinks like in a fast food. For such a lounge I was expecting for bottled drinks. Otherwise, I liked this lounge.
Extremely disappointed.They have a few drink machines, some salad options and some crisps. But this cost me €27 (or €39 if you pay at the door) and I don't think I've ever experienced more of a rip off in my life. I've had school dinners that are better than this.Edit: as I was leaving at 20:40, they had taken all the salad bar away but they were restocking the bread. Maybe they were restocking the salad bar or maybe it was just done for the night?
Poorly signed, and you will have little time to spend there anyway, as you can't enter the terminal more than three hours before your flight, and it will take over two hours (if you are very lucky) to get through security. If you do make it through, and find it - a challenge in itself - be prepared to be disappointed! If you eat meat, there is some soup and a slightly unappetising salad. If you are vegetarian there is some bread and butter. If you are vegan, just resign yourself to some nachos. No juice or fresh drinks - limited drinks from a self service machine and a hot drink machine that couldn't make a latte when I selected it. Complete waste of money
SAS has two lounges at Terminal 5. SAS Gold Lounge and SAS Business Lounge.If you stay in a way that info desk is located in front of you, SAS Gold Lounge is on your left hand side (which has a view over runway) and SAS Business is on your right hand side (which has a view over the departure hall).If you have Star Alliance Gold card or SAS EuroBonus Gold or Diamond card whether you sit in economy or business class, you can use the SAS Gold Lounge. If you have a business ticket, you can use the SAS Business Lounge. If you have both (Gold card or Business ticket), you can choose either of those lounges.SAS Gold Lounge advantages:- catering is a little better,- has a view over the runway,- it is brighter (lights from outside),- there are sleeping chairs,- there are more tables which you can put your laptop and sit behind them- there are more rooms which you can talk with your mobile inside them,SAS Business Lounge advantages:- more restrooms- a playroom for children
Gold or not, quite a crowded (then small) lounge in the mornings, and a bit dated. Many chairs are made in cloth/fabric and wears stains on the seat cushions and armrests... Food and beverages are good, just above average. Service...I wouldn't know, most of the times there is only one person trying to keep up with clearing dishes.So - all in all - there's definitely room for improvement, lounge management.
Nice surroundings with several seating options, good WiFi and friendly service.I was happy with the simple soup, fresh bread and the mesclun salad but I would have liked to see some fruit, other than small red apples, and better quality cookies to go with the coffee!One thing that should be remembered by the personnel ... . closing the door to the service room adjacent to the food area is a must .... as the noise from dishwashing & personnel working there was very loud and disturbing!My 4 hours at the lounge went by rather quickly and made my transit stay at the Arlanda airport a lot more pleasant!
