Newark Liberty International Airport (IATA: EWR) is one of New York's three airports and a particularly attractive departure hub for European frequent flyers with Star Alliance Gold status – boasting two high-quality Star Alliance Gold lounges in Terminal B. This page contains all EWR lounge reviews from miles-around.
The Lufthansa Senator Lounge Newark, one of the strongest and most spacious Star Alliance Gold lounges on the US East Coast – with an extensive food and beverage selection and a clear quality advantage over many other lounges at EWR – and the SAS Lounge Newark, a Scandinavian alternative in the same terminal, were tested before the return flight to Copenhagen. These reports help frequent flyers with Star Alliance Gold status assess which lounge at EWR is the better choice before their next departure.
The Lufthansa Senator Lounge Newark is one of two Lufthansa lounges. Before my return flight to Copenhagen with SAS, I used the time at the airport to visit the lounge.
The Scandinavian airline SAS operates its own lounge at various airports in the USA. On our way back from a short trip to New York City, we visited the SAS Lounge Newark before the late afternoon rush. In this lounge review, I will share my experiences and impressions of the amenities and food and beverage offerings, and whether a visit is worthwhile.
