Did you land there for breakfast?

The 21st of March, Platinum- and Centurion members are welcomed to the Amex Pop Up Lounge at Pier F, Terminal 5, when travelling from Arlanda.”
Let’s see how long the “pop-up lounge” will be at ARN. I hope a “permanent” lounge comes back. However, given what is happening in the Swedish economy, it wouldn’t surprise me if Amex were to become far more cost-conscious with its approach to Amex card benefits aimed at the Swedish premium card market and whatever comes next is a poorer version of what we’ve had at ARN until today.
