Despite my short connection in Oslo, and since the boarding of my flight to Paris has not started, I join the lounge of the Oslo airport, just renovated.
Terminal
Although recently renovated, the Oslo airport remains on a human scale. When I disembarked from my flight arriving from Stockholm, I found the lounge easily: it is located on the mezzanine of the boarding doors.
Reception
The welcome is… non-existent since, like in most of the lounges of the Scandinavian airline’s hubs, access control is done by scanning the boarding pass. A reception is nevertheless available for special requests.
Lounge design
The lounge is absolutely identical in its decoration to all the SAS lounges in the world: Scandinavian furniture, a rather compact lounge area and very pleasant round high tables.
It is quite a good size and has different areas for working, eating and resting. Inside, an area is reserved for Gold and Diamond SAS passengers (also accessible by scanning the boarding pass), which I did not have access to at the time of the review
Catering
Unlike the lounge in Copenhagen, the offer is rather extensive here, with two nice buffets offering a quality cold offer, and brown cheese, a Norwegian specialty that I particularly like.
Lounge facilities
The lounge is equipped with self-service toilets and showers. But something quite unprecedented, a gym, accessible by reservation at the time of registration. To be tested during my next visit!
Bottom line
A very pleasant lounge, which does the job for waiting for your next medium-haul flight.
