Use of SAS lounges
As a newbie to BD & *A (I have just status matched from KL and jumped ship), I’m not sure how joined up the Alliance is compared to, say, Skyteam and need some advice, please.
1) Could someone please tell me if I can use the SAS lounge at CPH with a DC gold card when flying with SK?
2) Can I use the Servisair lounge at ABZ on an SK flight?
3) Also will the DC card let me use the speedy SK security route at CPH?
Many thanks
Halfdan

If you have a DC gold card you also automatically have Star Alliance gold status which gives you access to all Star Alliance lounges (with a few exceptions like first class lounges) with a same-day Star Alliance ticket.
That means you can use the lounge in Copenhagen as long as you fly on one of the Star Alliance carriers that day.
Just keep in mind there are two lounges in Copenhagen, the business lounge and the Scandinavian lounge. The Scandinavian lounge (entrance to the right of the business lounge) is only open for gold card holders and is without any doubt where you should go (although you do have access to both).
Regarded as one of the best in the world, food and drinks is pretty good!
If you can use the lounge in ABZ depends on if SAS has an agreement with the lounge to let gold and C-class passengers enter.
As I have not flown out of ABZ I don't know, ask at check-in!
The fast track in Copenhagen is open to Star Alliance gold card holders so you can use it.

Well, yesterday at Copenhagen for the first time I was refused to use the fast track, 'only for SAS gold members, not for star alliance gold members'.
Very bizarre decision by SAS and not great to see differences between star alliance partners. As I fly multiple times the gold requirements I maybe should get gold status on SAS as well, or would that be what they want.
