The problem is that SAS is quite stingy when it comes to lounge access at outstations.

Here are reports at the SAS board of there being no lounge for them at HEL, and this was the latest on SAS not yet having signed a deal to give pax access to the 3rd party lounge at Terminal 2B lounge of Paris CDG (which is the only one you can access, as when flying CDG->ARN/CPH on SAS, security officers won't allow you into any other terminal besides 2B).

Just something people should take into account.. Otherwise it's a great deal, thanks for posting! I'm considering it myself actually for January as a one-way, given that I had plans to visit Finland.
