With SAS Plus, the Scandinavian airline has created a fantastic product in Premium Economy class. In the following trip report, you'll learn what service and amenities you can expect in SAS's Premium Economy on long-haul flights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Arrival with airberlin<\/a> At Terminal 2 of Stockholm International Airport, I had to transfer to Terminal 5 for my SAS flight to Chicago. It's a comfortable 15-minute walk away.<\/p>\n

Check in<\/h2>\n

Check-in at the SAS Star Alliance Gold counter was quick. I was able to drop off my luggage, even though there were still over five hours until departure of flight SK945 to Chicago. After security, you find yourself in the duty-free zone in Terminal 5, also known as "Absolut Vodka Paradise." The price for a 1-liter bottle of vodka was the equivalent of \u20ac20. That's probably quite reasonable by Scandinavian standards.<\/p>\n

Now the search for the lounge began. Just like the last time in Copenhagen<\/a> It's not that easy to find them at SAS. I couldn't find any signs other than a tiny signpost. I was only able to orient myself with the building map. It's best to simply look for Gate 1 in Terminal 5. At the fork in the path, you'll find a spiral staircase that leads to the lounge on the third floor.<\/p>\n

SAS Gold Lounge at Stockholm Airport<\/h2>\n

The SAS Gold Lounge is similar in design to the lounge at Copenhagen Airport. The only, but crucial, difference is the unobstructed view of the apron.<\/p>\n

The decor is very Scandinavian and simple. A lot of wood and metal were used to create seating areas of varying sizes. I found it truly exemplary that there were sufficient power outlets everywhere, and even dedicated USB ports for charging your electronic devices. The interior designer really thought ahead here!<\/p>\n
