LOUNGE OVERVIEW
SAS has two lounges at Copenhagen (CPH), both of which are located in Terminal 3, opposite the passport control of the C Gates:
- SAS Gold Lounge (turn right and go upstairs: access for EBP, EBD, EBG, *A Gold, *A First Class)
- SAS Lounge (turn left: access for SAS Business, SAS Plus, *A Business)
As of the 12th of September 2023 the lounge is open at 05.00AM but this is subject to change.
Here's the latest link to info about SAS lounges: https://www.flysas.com/content/flysa...AS%20departure.
LOUNGE AMENITIES
The SAS Gold Lounge offers the same amenities as the SAS Lounge, but with a slightly better food and drink selection. There is also an espresso bar which is staffed in peak periods. The Gold Lounge has higher ceilings and a more airy atmosphere.
Breakfast items (oatmeal, eggs, cereal, etc) are available at the buffet until around 10.30AM, when the offer shifts towards lunch.
A small number of showers are available.
Quieter recliners and places to sleep are towards the back of the lounges, overlooking the landside car park.
LOUNGE ON ARRIVAL
Arrival use of the lounge is for PY, J, and SK Diamond and above (thanks CPH-Flyer for providing the information).
In addition to the SAS lounges there are the following contract lounges at CPH:
- Aspire Lounge (Terminal 2, between Piers A and B, access with Priority Pass, among others)
- Carlsberg Aviator Lounge (Terminal 2, between Piers A and B, access with Priority Pass, among others)
- Copenhagen Apartment Lounge (Terminal 2)
- Eventyr Lounge (Terminal 3)

Done a lot of searching, and this old thread is the only one I could find with info...
In 2017 is it still possible on arrival from non-Schengen to access the airside area and lounges through the 'Transfer' lanes without an onward BP?
Details: OW Sapphire, arriving BA JFK-LHR-CPH and wanted to spend some time relaxing in the contract lounge or an airside terminal restaurant as place to meet other pax arriving on SAS intra-Schengen (ignore any lounge access concerns for other pax).

As for going through transfer security, it is indeed possible without an onward BP, but arriving from LHR you won't need to go through security, you should already be airside and can pass passport control when you please :-)

As there are only OW contract lounges, I doubt you'd get lounge access yourself on arrival, but I'm not an expert with OW.

Looking for the most up-to-date information on this subject. Thanks in advance for any help.
I am a United Star Gold flying IAD-CPH-ARN on SK in SAS Go (economy). I know I have access to the LH lounge at IAD. Will I:
1. Have access to the SAS lounge at CPH Terminal 3 when I arrive from IAD?
2. Have access to the SAS lounge at ARN when I am departing for CPH on my way back to IAD, and does this include the ability to bring in one guest?
3. Have access to the SAS lounge at CPH on the way back to IAD?
Again, thanks for any assistance with my questions. Any other tips or things to consider are also welcome.

Yes, yes and yes. :-) The SK lounges in CPH and ARN of course admits *G travelers with a boarding pass for a *A flight departing from the same airport that day, including one guest also flying on star alliance.
Things to consider: on SAS go longhaul the food could be underwhelming (some times is OK) and I believe you can get a soda/juice along with your meal as well as water/tea/coffee throughout the flight, anything else has to be bought.

And here's the documentation:
https://www.flysas.com/en/travel-inf...lounge-access/
"SAS Plus to/from Asia/the US: You are welcome at SAS lounges around the world as well as our partners' lounges in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo. If you are traveling on a SAS intercontinental flight, you also have access to SAS' own lounges on arrival (except at Newark due to airport authority regulations)."

The lounge is airside and you cannot pick up the luggage before entering.

I thought I'd check for the updated knowledge here too...I'm inbound on SK in J from BOS, stopping (>24 hours in CPH). Will I have access to an arrivals lounge w/ shower (apparently after passport control but before baggage claim?). Thanks!

SAS CPH lounge baggage storage?
I will soon have a 7h connection at CPH (arriving 7am, departing 2pm). I plan to take the metro to Copenhagen. For the carry-on bags, though, is there anywhere I can leave it at the SAS Lounge in CPH (to avoid dragging it out, putting it in the T2 P4 storage lockers at the airport (that is the only place outside where to store bags, right?), and then bring it back in through security again when returning)? If there's no lockers in the lounge, is it possible/allowed to leave it with the lounge staff (e.g. to keep securely behind the desk) for a few hours? Or if it's no go for all that, then I guess I am stuck going to leave it in T2/P4 storage lockers, then go to T3 for metro, then back to T2/P4 to get the bags when I return, then back to T3 for the TG flight out..
Also, any recommendations for what to do in Copenhagen (city) as a tourist on a short layover (7:30~12:30), in the earlier morning hours (7:30-10), before most places are open? I've downloaded an app with some Copenhagen walks and will likely just do that, presuming the weather is not too bad on the day... but any recommendations welcome, esp. for the earlier morning portion.

They will not allow you to leave your luggage at the lounge reception, and there are no lockers in the lounge. Only options are the lockers at the parking area.
The Aquarium just around the corner from the airport is worth a visit. Otherwise take the metro to Kgs. Nytorv, visit Nyhavn for lunch, take a stroll to Amalienborg (the Royal Palace) further up to Nordre Toldbod catch a harbour bus (a boat) back down to Nyhavn, you can also do the trip all the way down and back up to Nyhavn. And then catch the metro back the airport.

If you don't have that much to drag around, I wouldn't waste time to use a locker (you will waste at least 30 minutes to walk there, place things there and walk back to the metro and repeat the same when you go back). Haven't used them for a while but I remember we used to keep some change to use them because they only take coins.

I am contemplating re-routing a trip from DPS to NYC next year via CPH...would it be easy to use the showers prior to going out on the town? Would have an ~11 hour layover between BKK-CPH (on TG) and CPH-EWR (on SK). Just want to check as I have no desire to wander around feeling grimy all day...
