One of five main SAS airport lounges around the world (in Oslo, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Newark [US] and this one), the Scandinavian AIrlines Lounge in Copenhagen was one of the biggest lounges I've been to, at over 32,000 square feet after a major renovation in 2018. I got access to the main lounge for flying SAS back to LA as a SkyTeam Elite Plus member. It was OK: glad to try it. Entrance was easy via a ticket scan (was allowed to bring one extra person, which I didn't need), and is meant for fast throughput. It's a very open space, with a lot of light and windows. One could tell pretty quickly that the first floor was pretty full, so took my luggage and lugged my way up to the second floor. Both floor had buffet/beverage stations so didn't need to move again until ready to go. The food was OK, with a lot of things belonging on a continental menu, including cheese block, different breads, various cold vegetables and some really watery soup. They did have Carburg on tap which was nice. Everything is reusable wares and utensils. There is wifi available, but requiring a password. And used plates get cleared pretty quickly. I stuck around for 1 hour, leaving about 80 minutes before scheduled departure. What I didn't realize was that the lounge is before immigration/passport control...so what I thought was plenty of time to make it to the gate, ended up being a rush run to the gate. read more

Our tickets on Lufthansa got us entry into the SAS Lounge. The lounge opened one hour before the first SAS flight of the morning. We went through the automated gates by scanning our boarding pass. Not sure what the difference was but to the left side was access to the main floor and to the right went upstairs. There was no obvious way to go between floors. Breakfast was already out and it had a small selection of breads, hard boiled egg, cold meats and veggies, hot oatmeal, yogurt and fruits. Only one coffee machine was working but all beer and wine taps were ready to go. Presentation was nice and food quality was decent. When finished one had to bus their own trays to the central carts. Decor inside was modern and spread out. We stayed in the dining area but there were workstations and a quieter area in the back facing the airplanes. A small conference room and a children's playroom were also available. I appreciated the abundance of power outlets. Overall a good way to relax and eat something before heading off to our flight to Frankfurt. read more

Came by the other day during a transit and it was a mediocre experience. The lounge's main entrance was blocked off and entrance and exit was done through the side exit which was bizarre. The lounge itself was quite warm. There were plenty of seats on the two-level lounge. The lounge itself felt quite worn down. There were a few meeting rooms in the back but the doors were taken down permanently and again the vibe gave off dilapidated vibes. The food options at the buffet included salad, pasta, a full bar, coffee, and some turkey pull. ...the food didn't seem appetizing...it felt more like a low budget buffet...something uncalled for considering CPH is SAS' flagship lounge. read more

I came to relax - and found hot dogs!!! BTW, hot dogs are only on Fridays as I returned on a Wednesday and there were none to be found. Nice lounge to get out of the craziness of the airport. Food, drinks, seating, outlets for charging and ample restroom facilities. I was in the Plus part of the lounge, First Class looked even nicer (no surprise!) SAS, if you are listening...I'm a fan of your airline and lounge! You do a great job of taking care of passengers and I enjoyed both my air travel and lounge experience. See you next time - 4.25 stars! read more

This is a very nice airport lounge. For all of us who spend a lot of time traveling internationally, the various airport lounges, around the world, are truly a boon for our overall travel well-being. Yes, some are better and some are worse, but they all serve a very specific function. That function is to make us have a little bit more relaxed and fulfilled time while we're waiting in the airport before our next flight. The SAS lounge certainly provides that. This is a large lounge. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that SAS is based out of Denmark, so this is their premier lounge. There is a large amount of seating in this lounge. There are two primary rooms: the main room, that is basically a large interior space, and the outer room, which looks out onto the tarmac. They also have showers and various work spaces in separate areas. All are easily found, and easily accessible. Within this lounge, you'll find a lot of good food and drinks supplied. There's some lounges that focus on providing a vast international cuisine. This is not the case with the SAS lounge, however. Primarily, they focus their dishes on Danish cuisine. That's fine with me. What they offer, in terms of food, is all very good and very well prepared. Overall, good space to spend your time before your flight, whether that's an hour, two hours, or more. Nice lounge! read more

I've been using this SAS lounge for the past 14 years and it's honestly getting a bit dated. Everything is nice enough for hanging a few hours and getting a bite, but it needs a serious refresh. The people who work here are always nice and helpful. And the food that is offered is fine - though definitely lacking compared to competing airlines' lounges. It will be interesting, hopefully in a good way, to see what happens with the recent potential alliance with Air France-KLM Alliance. read more

This is a 3.5 star review. This was a 6 hour layover from SFO to CPH and then off to CDG. A bit jet lagged off my flight, I was glad to relax at a lounge for a couple hours before my flight to Paris. The food station had cold cut deli items along with wine and beer. The place can get crowded during the day so just go in with that expectation. After moving spots several times around the lounge, I decided to freshen up and put my name on the list for a shower. There were probably 6 shower stalls available and an attendant cleaning after each use. Luckily I had my toiletry supplies in my bag, hair dryer was included so the hair was done and I was freshened up for my flight to Paris. I had an economy fare but glad that SAS gave the option to purchase lounge access. Salut with a Carlsberg! read more

Pleasant atmosphere-- quiet, bright, many seating areas and options. The farther back you go the more available seats. There were 2 conference rooms totally empty. Lots of business stuff-- like a printer and cubicle type work areas. Food: gluten free bread is labeled but otherwise you have to guess about allergens. Lunch spread included celeriac salad, cauliflower soup. I could find something if I had to but nothing really jumped out as a great eat Wine on tap Cool dispenser for some lemonades and juices but the lemonade was meh. Others mentioned a play area for kids and newspapers. I think the play area was replaced by a headphone lease display No newspapers that I saw Bathrooms were clean. Single serve in gendered areas. In the main airport there are PLENTY of gender neutral restrooms. read more

Small and crowded, very slow at uptake of dirty dishes. Weird food choices (something about pees here). And humid atmosphere. Few if any usb charge ports. Had to get out converter. read more

Spacious with plenty of seating, work areas & a children's play area. I visited late morning so it was breakfast time. Had all of the basics-coffee, croissants, yogurt, cereal, cheese, ham and hard boiled egg. Definitely a Continental breakfast-hot dishes were missing. Looks to be a good selection of beer/wine & looks like lunch and dinner would be better as far as selection & variety. read more

Went for lunch, they had some basic salads and salad dressing choices. They have all you can drink beer and wine but no hard liquor. It was ok...not worth it for $25/head. read more

SAS is a smaller airline with a smaller international footprint so you can't really compare them to the other European carriers such as Air France, British Airways or Lufthansa. But overall, SAS provides a decent premium cabin offering, both in-flight and on the ground. The SAS Lounge at CPH is nothing elaborate but you can expect a warm and welcoming environment. There are two SAS Lounges at CPH and they are both located airside (after security but before passport control), in the departures area of terminal 3. This review is for the SAS Lounge, adjacent to Pier 3/4, not the SAS Gold Lounge located upstairs. Both lounges are open every day from 0530 hours to 30 minutes prior to the last departure flight. The SAS Lounge is located downstairs and the SAS Gold Lounge is located upstairs. The SAS Lounge is accessible by both business class and SAS Premium Economy Class passengers. Whereas, the SAS Gold Lounge is only accessible by Star Alliance Gold members traveling on SAS or any of its Star Alliance partner airlines. However, Star Alliance Gold members may use either lounge. Both lounges are very similar and I think this is just their way of separating passengers and managing crowds. But I do think the SAS Gold Lounge upstairs has nicer furniture and will be a tad less crowded. The SAS Lounge is nicely decorated with functional spaces for passengers to rest, relax and be productive before flight. The food spread is decent but nothing special. You can expect a hot dish and some cold dishes and a small alcohol station throughout the day. There is a small quiet room located in the back with four loungers if you want to get some shuteye and a business center with open workstations if you need to be productive. There are also shower rooms if you need to freshen up before your flight. read more

I enjoyed relaxing at this lounge waiting for my flight. I didn't like the children running around the lounge though, but luckily, there's enough space to separate yourself from those wild children. Entrance is via your boarding pass which was simple. I love the fact that I didn't need to actually speak to someone to gain entrance. Since I came during breakfast time, their offering was a typical continental breakfast. While it wasn't really an exotic offering, it will tie you over for lunch. read more

Stay away from the showers. I beg of you. It reminds me of a seedy motel--outdated and very strong smell of smoke. No storage lockers so you have to bring in everything you have with you into the tiny smelly bathroom. The rest of the lounge is HUGE and clean. Breakfast, which consisted of an assortment of breads, cheese, meat, hard boiled eggs, granola, cereal, milk, fruit, many beverages, and cookies, was excellent. The star alliance gold lounge is upstairs. Same stuffs up there but more exclusive so you can turn your nose up even higher. We stayed downstairs in the back and it was very quiet and relaxing. Caught up on CNN, charged up our phones and used the wifi. Oh they also have a bunch of newspapers from around the world for gratis. Which is great because my dad likes to collect newspapers and demands I bring home any newspaper I can get when I'm out of the country. Jackpot! read more

Heard the bourbon was great here. Super convenient location. Really enjoyed this place. read more

Nice quaint lounge, decent drink selection, Scandinavian style breakfast, good service, clean and staff were helpful

Airport lounge shoot-out: Part 5/5 This is the last of five airport lounges that I visited recently over a two week period. This SAS Gold lounge is located in Terminal 3. Upon passing through the doors, I first entered through the electronic gates on the left, but that is the business lounge. When I figured this out, I exited and went to the right -- the upstairs lounge for EuroBonus Gold members. Pros: Electronic gates -- just scan your boarding pass and go through. The food selection was great -- I had a gravlax salad with egg and all sorts of goodies. They had a soupe du jour, but I was already full and didn't try it. Good selection of self serve wine, beer, soft drinks. Plenty of snacks. Free WiFi provided by the lounge. Cons: Now I'm just nitpicking. The WiFi did not allow VPN access so it made it difficult to do my work. Also, it wasn't immediately obvious how to gain access to the shower facilities. I really enjoyed my couple of layover hours in this lounge and the time flew. No, it is not the best airport lounge I've ever experienced (although close), but it is indeed the best out of five in the past two weeks so full points :) I look forward to my next layover here. Thanks, SAS! read more

Awesome lounge to waste some time between flights! Free (decent) wi-fi. Delicious (all-you-can-eat) food, wine, beer, coffee, soda. Tons of tables and chairs, outlets, clean bathrooms. Costs $30US/person, but if you consider the prices of everything else in Copenhagen this is a deal. (I spent $9.50 at the Starbucks getting my usual $5 latte). Definitely recommended if you have a 2+ hours to relax and recharge between flights, or before a long international flight. read more

Without a doubt, the nicest lounges I've ever set foot in. Don't get me wrong, Copenhagen is a splendid airport with great amenities and food choices, but once you get over the shopping and wandering around, you find yourself (normally) with quite a while until your flight and, from experience, you'll also be cognizant that there isn't a whole lot on the other side of passport control. In fact, more or less, there's only a convenience store and a duty free shop. Enter the SAS lounge, which is located just a literal stone's throw away from the lines for passport control and right at the end of the food court. If you're flying on SAS Business, entry is free and requires just a simple scan of your boarding pass. It's a great escape from the hustle and bustle that goes on in the terminal and, at least for me, a welcomed change from having to deal with the herds of weary travelers outside. Sure, you could sit on a semi-decent leatherette chair in the terminal and people watch, paying for food and using more or less adequate bathrooms, but ... why? It's much more enjoyable to spend your time between flights in this cozy, quiet, modern and well stocked lounge with virtually no noise, no flights being called out, nobody running around with luggage and no hassles. You get exquisite bathrooms, showers, even rooms where you can literally grab a bed and sleep until your flight time. As for the food, it varies, but it's all free. Typically in the mornings they'll have a spread including rolls, rye bread (it's Denmark, after all), yogurt with various choices of toppings, and typically some cold cuts and cheese to make sandwiches with. There's also a snack bar area which, typically anyway, stocks some pretty delicious cookies. Beverages for breakfast include everything you could want, including water, milk, juice, coffee and, should you feel so inclined, soft drinks and even booze of various sorts. I've traveled through this airport many times and only recently started making use of the lounge, not having fully appreciated before what it was that I was missing. In my humble opinion, there is simply no better place, even at an airport as beautiful and well managed as Copenhagen, to spend your time before going through passport control. It's so nice to be out of the rat race and to just sit down in peace and quiet, read a book, browse the web or just relax and watch TV. You can be as productive or unproductive as you like, all the while making use of the nicest facilities in the airport. If you're stopping over, make it a point to check in and check it out, you won't regret it. read more

Given that this is the SAS airport hub, one would expect this to be their best lounge. It is certainly everything a great lounge should be: large, lots of seating, provide good food and beverage options. In addition, they provide other creature comforts like showers and a sleeping area. I only visited the business portion of the lounge, and seemingly missed out on the Star Alliance Gold section upstairs. Copenhagen is an excellent airport, with many quality amenities. But this is definitely the kind of lounge you can comfortably spend an hour or so before or between flights. read more

This is not on the same level as the lounges for larger European airlines but is a comfortable lounge none the less. The food choices are limited but they are normally good. Showers are available by speaking with the reception desk. read more

This is a great airport lounge. Nothing extraordinary, but just the things you would expect from any lounge worth it's name. It's spacious with a wide selection of seatings. Everything from a comfy chair to a proper work desk. It's also has a lot of space so it's rarely full. Food is actually quite good in comparison. Always one soup and a smaller salad bar where you can find greens, bread, cheese and some kind of rice/pasta "dish". On the drink side you almost everything you could think of, starting from water and ending up in the whiskey bottle. In addition to all of this you also can find a wide selection of newspapers and magazines. Complimentary wifi that usually works (this is the weakest spot) and power outlets almost everywhere. read more

We stopped by the SAS Lounge both on our way into Copenhagen as well as on our way out. It is after security but before immigration - so keep that in mind as you budget your time for visiting the lounge. We weren't sure which lounge to visit at first (we wanted the one with the showers after a long redeye), but the lady at the front was helpful in explaining to us which one to use, as well as printing us our departure boarding passes ahead of time (so we could access the lounge in the first place). The lounge has what I'd call a nice, low-key austere feel to it, but it is pretty modern. While seating is relatively plentiful, it does get crowded in the evening; we ended up sitting at one of the common tables closer to the food as a result. Plugs are also a little on the light side with regards to availability. As for what is available in the lounge food and drink-wise, it is pretty average. Having a keg on tap is nice, although as someone who prefers things other than pilsners and lagers, it was not that exciting to me. Breakfast options were pretty light, IMO - no hot food available outside of porridge, while late afternoon was similarly light, with some cooked tortellini available alongside soup and cold cuts. The other amenity we really used was the shower, and unfortunately to say, the showers are less impressive relative to others I have used around the world in airport lounges. They are noticeably smaller than pretty much any other shower room I have been in, but the other issue is that ventilation is poor, and with all the lights being halogen-based and unable to be dimmed (there were no lighting controls I saw in the room itself), I was dripping in sweat once I had 'dried' off from the shower. While it was nice to freshen up before heading out to town, the net impact was marginal as a result. In all, the space does what it needs to, but compared to many other international business lounges I have been to, I only found this to be average at best. I wouldn't mind stopping here again, but on the outbound leg, I would probably try one of the Priority Pass lounges post-immigration next time. read more

One of the better SAS lounges ive been, and you can tell that they put some energy into this to make it happen. Its big with a lot of different seats depending on your objective and mood. Their buffe and overall service is definitely updated, and this is definitely one of the lounges you still can enjoy even though its a bit crowded. Its a calm atmosphere and they have enough ppl to make this place a clean and tidy experience. If you have a few hours layover and considering having a meal, it might be worth paying if your not eligible by status or booking class. read more

Pretty awesome airport lounge. I was a little worried going into this as SAS was pretty low-budget on the plane. Their Star Alliance Gold lounge section was incredibly spacious, with lots of light. Nice buffet, good selection of alcohol. Friendly staff. Not much in the way of English language newspapers or magazines. read more

Plenty of seating and big tables where you can work and eat with others like community table. I like that there is a quite area separated from main area. Food is simple. For Breakfast, you have boiled egg, cheese, tomato to make a breakfast sandwich. And muslie and yogurt. You can have instant ramen if you need something spicy. Free wifi and plenty of free PC to use. read more

The lounge was not clean. The carpets full of left overs - filthy . Why not clean it up in the evening or in the mornings? Food OK except the orange liquid - fake juice -! read more

In my opinion, one of the best SAS lounges. Lots of space, several seating areas, lots of daily papers (both Scandinavian and International), space to sit and work, a variety of food options, wine/beer if you so wish, and a nice fresh ambiance. Recommended! read more
