SAS Domestic Lounge — Local services in Ullensaker

So, where should I start.. I travel trough OSL almost weekly, and unfortunately there are so many thing with the ("new") SAS domestic "lounge" that doesn't make sense..

If you are lucky, or traveling really early or really late, you can experience the "lounge" at quiet times, then the lounge and its facilities is ok. But usually, the lounge is waaaay to crowded, resulting in few or no good seating options, toilet queues, a half empty and messy salad bar / soup station, really poor or no internet connection and a busy/stressful atmosphere.. There is nothing here that I would associate with a lounge.

One of the things that does not make sense is why they have put an oversized coffee machine ("coffee shop") in the middle of the lounge, effectively loosing a lot of possible seats. Same thing goes for the "Technology Hub" and the micro gym - please SAS; replace them with seating options.

Further on, I think the reason the "lounge" is so crowded, is because SAS is accepting SAS Plus passengers (to sell more plus tickets). If this policy continues, they should divide the lounge before the "buffet", reserving the rear half for EBG/EBD/EBP passengers. This is normal in other star alliance lounges and a practice SAS has applied in their international lounge at OSL.

All in all, if the lounge is full - you will more easy than in the "lounge" find peace, a good seating option and internet connection outside in the public terminal..

Totally overrun. Loud, crowded, children running and screaming around everywhere. Nowhere to sit. Obviously too little capacity. SAS in Norway particularly (but also Sweden) has this ridiculous policy of basically selling gold card membership to everyone. All you need is an Amex Card and a 2nd Eurobonus credit card (cost for the cards is 350 Euro), fly twice and bingo you have a gold card. Massive deflation effect on actual gold membership. When boarding you see a third or more of the passengers get on the plane during business class/gold boarding although there is only 6 rows of business class? So the privilege of early boarding is useless. Less queues when boarding economy :) Sitting in SAS Lounge is far more crowded and loud, than sitting in nice lounge chairs located at most gates. Paying for actual business class ticket on SAS is certainly not...

The SAS Lounge at Oslo Gardermoen is a great place to unwind before a flight. It’s clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with snacks and drinks. The seating areas are spacious, the WiFi works well, and there are sufficient with charging spots for devices.

One of the highlights is the self-serve sandwich and salat station next to the coffee bar. The staff are friendly and keep everything running smoothly, even during busy times.

Overall, it’s a solid lounge that makes airport time much more enjoyable. A good spot to grab a bite, get some work done, or just relax...
