Yea right. This hasn't worked in forever and SK broke the OLCI BP feature in their App for US-travel (in either direction) again...
Its most efficient to check-in online (either app or browser) and then just spend the additional minute to grab a BP from the machine as you exit the train.
SAS Plus passengers at ORD sometimes have trouble with getting to use the premium security line.
It works fine for Business and EBD and the 'premium security line' is hardly a time saver around the time you go through security for the SK departures.
If you think the SK ORD lounge is packed in advance of the ORD-ARN flight -- and it is often enough -- the LX ORD lounge is even worse in that regard before the ORD-ZRH flight. [The LX lounge closes around or just before 7pm.]
I made the comment so people are aware that there is a lounge option before the ...... SK lounge opens. The LX lounge isn't very busy just before LX7 starts boarding. You can then either continue to enjoy that lounge or move to the SK one.
The one improvement in the SK lounge we've seen this year is that they are now using local staff instead of FA's which are
much better at turning people away that are not eligible for lounge access. Unfortunately now the ORD-ARN and ORD-CPH flights are closer to each other this has made very little difference to how packed the lounge gets and the food issue is still not addressed.
