Sun Air of Scandinavia

Booked a trip on Sun Air for end of September, via ba.com, and my ba-booking confirmation contain information about the terraces lounge in MAN and the lounge in BLL. I don't hold any status on BA Executive/Avios/OW, so I'm slightly confused. My booking class is "Traveller".

Is it that all pax on Sun Air flights have lounge access, or why would the lounges be pointed out to me in my booking confirmation?

You don't get lounge access, I'm afraid. However, if you gain status in the meantime, your booking confirmation contains handy information for locating the lounges.

As CS says, some booking classes do qualify for lounge access in spite of it being all economy. Sun Air is in my experience, although all Y very good. I found the food and service very good between LCY and BLL. I know that Y class definitely qualifies and some of the other flexible classes do too.

Thanks all - Sun Air confirmed by email (very quick and efficient service, but then maybe no surprise given the size of their operation) that my particular booking would not qualify - so no general access to lounge. However, in BLL lounge access can be bought for around 15 walk-up. I'll have some spare hours there, but will head into Legoland instead

Sorry for resurrecting such an old topic. I'm planning to fly OSL-AAL-AAR-BMA on Sun-Air. I am OWS. Will I have lounge access in all departure airports?

The OW website is down at the moment. Would not imagine it being useful though.

Sun-Air is an affiliate of BA and my ticket would be AY coded, since I'm purchasing HEL-OSL-AAL-AAR-BMA-HEL, all on one ticket.

All those airports have a BA contracted lounge. Here are the AAL & AAR lounges:

Yes you have lounge access in OSL, AAR and AAL: AAR is a corker!

More details in the Forum Dashboard, under Europe Lounges. See post 362 and 363 for CWS' mini guide to AAL and AAR respectively. Note the access process for AAR.

Thank you guys! My "layover" in AAL would actually be only 20min (same plane), but OSL is 6h, so it's important to know that I won't have to spend money on eating and drinking there

Was the "corker" comment sarcasm or don't I understand the word correctly? :-D

The lounge seems to be very basic.

Oh if you spend a big chunk of your life in a lounge then Aarhus will make you laugh. Particularly the Speedmarques built into the eaves. After the demise of Le Club in Angers (a refurbished broom cupboard) it's probably the smallest BA branded lounge in the network. But yes, the offering is as basic as it gets.

On the subject of SUN-AIR of Scandinavia (EZ), as I believe it is officially called, are there any recent experiences among you out there? I have a booking in a few weeks for DUS-BLL-DUS, because I am going to explore the West coast of Denmark with its lovely fishing villages and a newly created (I think) national park towards the North.

Is SUN-AIR as good as it always was, or has it joined the endless slide downhill of its parent company? Is catering still included as part of the ticket? I have been wanting to try SUN-AIR for a long time.

I tried looking for Avios redemption possibilities on their internal Scandinavian flights, but the system responded by saying that the route in question was not served. There are a few onward flights out of Billund which seem potentially interesting. Lastly, do those unusual routes (such as HUY to AAL) still exist?

Sun Air doesn't have a parent company. it's owned by Niels Sundberg

So why is "British Airways" painted all over their aircraft? It's quite hard to find a SUN-AIR logo anywhere.
