SAS Lounge

Arlanda's flagship airline lounge — SkyTeam, Star Alliance, sleep pods and showers.
The SAS Lounge is Stockholm Arlanda's flagship airline lounge, located in Terminal 5 by gate E1 in the Schengen area, after security. It serves SAS passengers in premium cabins along with SkyTeam Elite Plus and Star Alliance Gold status holders and eligible business-class travellers. The lounge embodies Scandinavian minimalism — clean lines, light wood accents and soft neutral tones, with large windows letting natural light flood in over views of the tarmac. It's thoughtfully zoned: a quiet area with sleep pods for resting, a business centre with workstations and internet terminals, and a dining area built around a well-stocked hot and cold buffet. There are showers, a kids' room and quick-meal options, and noise levels stay generally low. Opening hours follow the SAS schedule — it opens an hour before the first SAS flight and closes 30 minutes after the last.

A well-stocked hot and cold buffet built around a dining area, with quick meals, appetisers and snacks, plus beer, wine, alcoholic drinks and soft drinks. There's enough for a full plate before a flight, not just a snack.
