Is there any difference? I've had a look around downstairs in the Kastrup lounge, looked the same to me. I thought upstairs was just less busy.

That's one thing that doesn't matter for me. I only need a shower when flying from a hot country, or when connecting from a longhaul. In neither instance will I be flying SK.

You don't want to know. Oh, all right then, on AMS-CPH you get to choose between a yucky cookie full of E-numbers, or some pretzly salty things with even more E-numbers. I have never dared try either, but I'm sure they are disgusting.

I have Privium, so can give both the KL and Menzies lounges a wide berth. The CPH SK lounge stands heads and shoulders above the Novia lounge KL pax are condemned to (unless flying in J, in which case one can use CPH Apartment, which is OK).

I don't, really. What's the difference nowadays between Y and J on shorthaul? Not worth getting excited about, except for TK and a few others. Longhaul I fly J.

The purser who had to run back to the front galley a zillion times to swap the tea and coffee pots had to do so because he had a tray with milk and sugar in his left hand, restricting him to one pot in his other hand.

I don't. I fully expect to take a train an hour later, and plan accordingly. However, if I can make the earlier train I get home at least two hours earlier, so it is worth a try. I've become pretty good at racing through the terminal. I think I set a CPH World Record last month: from aircraft door to the train station in three minutes.
