TBH SAS has a terrible way to communicate. I am flying to Alicante in Spain. I am damn sure that I will not be able to access the lounge as its a contract but I had a look on SAS web page about accessing the lounges. It just directs me to the Star alliance "lounge finder" which says a contract lounge is avaliable there. I looked up the terms to enter and as far as I can tell I should be able to get in. But, I know SAS enough now to guess that this is going to be a huge disappointment even if they say it might not be.
Terms to enter Alicante lounge...
Star Alliance Gold Customers travelling in any class of travel
As a Star Alliance Gold customer travelling in any class on a Star Alliance member airline operated flight, you have access to any member airline lounge at the airport where your flight departs, if the following conditions are met:
- You present your boarding pass of a Star Alliance member airline operated flight which departs at the same day as your visit or latest by 05:00 AM the next morning.
- If your boarding pass does not carry the Star Alliance Gold indicator, you will need to also show your valid Star Alliance Gold card.
- The lounge displays the Star Alliance Gold logo at the entrance.
You are entitled to bring one guest travelling on any Star Alliance flight departing from the same airport on the same day.If you are a United MileagePlus Star Alliance Gold customer, you may only access the United Clubs within the U.S. when departing from that airport on an international Star Alliance flight, not when departing on a domestic flight with United.
