There have been several threads on this forum and the UA forum about the quality of *G lounges. A few days ago I took an internal SK flight from ARN (Stockholm) to Goteborg. I had called SAS before leaving to confirm that as a UA 1K I could go to their lounges. It took 25 minutes before they came back with an answer (in the affirmative). I got to ARN early (SK refused to put me on an earlier flght even though there were seats available) and I asked where the lounge was. Took 10 minutes of discussion before they told me since I was in the domestic terminal (terminal 4) and their initial response was: If you are not Eurobonus Gold, you can't get in. So they told me (good thing, since it seems to be through a secret door) and I ventured upstairs. There were turnstiles that didn't move so the woman in charge told me to duck under one of the turnstiles (she vanished and others entering the club found that they could figure this out themselves). Once inside, I found: (1) a soda fountain; (2) a coffee machine; and (3) an empty refrigerator

To be sure, the seats were better than the crowded ones in Terminal 4 (they don't let you into the more spacious boarding area until it is almost time to ge on the plane

). The club had nice hardwood floors, but every time someone walked on them, their soles sounded like thuds.
