SAS cuts access to third party lounges and fast track

Share

SAS is ending its partnership with third-party lounges in 42 airports and access to fast track is also ending at 7 airports. Those flying on SAS still have access to SAS and other Star Alliance lounges at airports in which they are available.

Here is the “quiet” announcement on the website:


SAS is ongoing strengthening our offer in the air as well as on ground, where we are investing in SAS Lounges and SAS Fast track at our main airports and our destinations with the largest number of travelers. SAS is investing in digital solutions, new upgraded cabins, new aircraft, high-speed WiFi on all aircraft and have recently launched news in food & beverage onboard. On ground, to be able to continue and invest, expand and improve SAS Lounges and Fast Track offer, SAS will end our collaboration with some of our contracted lounges operated by third-parties. The result will be a continued improvement of SAS own offer where it benefits most of our Plus/Business travelers, members and 29 million yearly passengers. To mention a few examples SAS will invest in new and bigger domestic lounges at Arlanda and Oslo Gardemoen as well as upgrading our international SAS Lounges in New York, Paris and Chicago.

SAS and Star Alliance offer lounge access to over 1 000 lounges worldwide.
