Priority Pass is accepted at both Pearl Lounges — by gate C37 in Terminal 5 and in Terminal 2. It's the most useful single membership at Arlanda if you don't have airline status, covering a lounge in each of the two main lounge terminals.

Priority Pass

DragonPass opens the Pearl Lounge in Terminal 2, the lounge with the widest membership access at ARN. Check the per-lounge page before you travel, as DragonPass covers a narrower set of Arlanda lounges than Priority Pass.

DragonPass

SAS, SkyTeam Elite Plus and Star Alliance Gold passengers use the SAS Lounge by gate E1 in Terminal 5, with the SAS Lounge by Mastercard and a dedicated SAS Gold Lounge alongside it. SkyTeam and oneworld status also reach the Pearl Lounge by gate C37. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier.

Star AllianceSkyTeamoneworldSAS

A SAS Business or SAS Plus ticket, or a business-class fare on an eligible SkyTeam or Star Alliance partner, gets you into the SAS Lounge in Terminal 5 directly — the simplest route if you're flying premium out of Arlanda, with no membership needed.

American Express Platinum and Centurion cardholders get access to the American Express Lounge by Pontus Frithiof, a private space with a complimentary full-service restaurant. Present your eligible card; check current Amex terms and guest rules before relying on this at the door.

Mind your terminal

• —Arlanda's lounges are split between Terminal 5 and Terminal 2 — pick a lounge in the terminal you're flying from before clearing security.
• —Terminal 5 is the main terminal for SAS and most Star Alliance flights; the second Pearl Lounge is over in Terminal 2.
• —The SAS lounges all sit near gate E1 in the Schengen area of Terminal 5.

Three SAS lounges, three tiers

• —The main SAS Lounge serves SAS, SkyTeam Elite Plus and Star Alliance Gold passengers and is the broadest of the three.
• —The SAS Lounge by Mastercard opened in 2025 as a second shared space for eligible SAS, EuroBonus and SkyTeam customers.
• —The SAS Gold Lounge is a more intimate space for upper-tier elite members, with showers and a relaxation area.

Membership strategy

• —Priority Pass covers both Pearl Lounges, so it's the most flexible single membership at Arlanda.
• —The Terminal 2 Pearl Lounge has the widest access of any ARN lounge — DragonPass, Priority Pass, Star Alliance and oneworld.
• —If you carry an Amex Platinum or Centurion card, the American Express Lounge by Pontus Frithiof is a quieter, restaurant-style alternative.

Timing & opening hours

• —The Pearl Lounges keep daytime hours rather than running around the clock — the C37 lounge opens 06:30–20:30 and the Terminal 2 lounge 05:10–20:00.
• —The SAS Lounge opens an hour before the first SAS flight and closes 30 minutes after the last, so very early or late departures may fall outside its hours.
• —Arrive a little early at peak departure banks if you want a relaxed seat before your flight.
