Passing through the capital of Norway I took advantage of my Gold Star Alliance status. to visit both waiting lounges of SAS, home carrier, in the international departure area.
In this article:
As is the case with Lufthansa SAS distinguishes lounges and lounge guest offerings, Those with business class tickets gain access to the SAS Lounges, while those with the equivalent of a Gold Star Alliance level have the opportunity to visit the Gold Lounges, something similar to Lufthansa's Senator Lounges.
Location
We are located in the international area of Oslo Airport, near boarding gates E. The two lounges at this airport are opposite each other.
The entrance is on the upper floor, compared to the stores, the elevator is located next to Starbucks.
Once on the floor you choose whether to go to the OSL Lounge, the independent one used by all non-Star Alliance carriers, or right to the SAS lounge.
Immediately after security there are signs for an SAS lounge, it is the one dedicated to domestic passengers, while before you get to it you have to cross the border and duty free.
Access
As said one must:
- Travel business class with SAS or one of the Star Alliance carriers, or airline partners
- Hold status in Eurobonus, SAS frequent flyer, or Gold Star Alliance in any of the airlines and travel with one of these
Those with status have access to both SAS lounges, while if you are traveling in business but do not have an elite card, you will have to stay in the first lounge.
Two lounges in one
Entry is automatic, you scan your boarding pass and open the turnstiles. As mentioned the first lounge is the business, it's a little bit bigger than Gold and has a very similar buffet.
Furnishings and colors are identical, this one faces the stores part of the terminal, post controls. While the Gold is mainly exposed toward the public part of the terminal.
Access to Gold requires passing a second turnstile, also automatic.
