CPH: "Welcome to Apartment or Carlsberg lounge". Does this mean there are two lounges? Which one is better?

I'm flying tomorrow 12:40. Would the lounge(s) be crowded at that time? What can I expect foodwise?

Foodwise not much. Drinks the basics, if I recall the apartment had some spirits, beer wine and soda. Food was some bread cold cuts and salads last time...

Basic pay to play lounge action 😀

Both are located at the same facility. But turn wrong way into the Carlsberg lounge and you�re met with a little worse food/beverage selection and crowds while Apartment is a little bit nicer.

Finally made it to the Aviator Apartment business lounge this morning! 😃

A first time for everything, but was this your first time there?

I think of the Carlsberg/Aviator side as being for those sentenced to suffer and hobnob with the mass of PrirorityPass users.

It was. Somehow I keep missing it (until now).

Now at the Finnair Business Lounge in the non-Schengen area.

The business lounges are surprisingly quiet today!

Say hi to the Finnair lounge showers there. No talking to lounge attendants required for that there.

At CPH, the only lounge complex with free showers for me is the SAS lounge. The Eventyr lounge still wants additional payment for shower use even by lounge guests. AFAIK, the other lounges accessible to me at CPH don�t have shower facilities.

I did notice the shower area on the way out, and my wife noted there�s even a sauna. The perfect setting for a business meeting, wouldn�t you say?

And then we had a pleasant journey across the Atlantic followed by an also pleasant Global Entry face recognition.

It was downhill from there. The arrival of the priority-tagged bags was late and scattered. Following the rechecking of bags, we were told the connector gateway to T4 was closed after 4 p.m. Short staffed? So we had to exit security for a stroll on the sidewalk. Then the TSA-Pre people fumbled their way through the process.

The AA flagship business lounge entry was a fumbling experience as well, and inside it looked like a cheap imitation of the Finnair business lounge. The metal caps on the wine bottles were nothing like we know from say the Eventyr lounge. You can�t just tilt it, no the Covid-friendly way was to take the whole dime store cap off.

To top it off, a power outage of most of T4 put an abrupt end to the visit, no time to check out say the shower. Fortunately we were heading for the T6 Alaska lounge anyway.

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Copenhagen anymore.

Star Alliance site is down right now, returning 403 errors.

Lounge Buddy lists Aspire, Carlsberg and Apartment at T2 and Eventyr, SAS Gold and SAS Lounge at T3.

Going to CPH in a couple of weeks, flying out early in the morning on LX to ZHR. Supposedly LX is at T2.

I know SAS lounges are out because SAS will exit Star Alliance at the end of the month.

So guessing Aspire might be a contract lounge for Star Alliance members?

Some Star Alliance members can still access the SAS lounge. Flight with LH last week and was admitted to the lounge.

I�m TK *Gold and am flying out with Brussels Airlines, SAS would not admit me (flying within Schengen) so had to slum it up at the Aviator lounge, got a quick flight and left.

They had all the *A airlines Gold members on the screen outside the doors but it seems it�s select. Senator with *A etc so not just Gold and above.

*A Gold flying on Air Canada. The Star Alliance website, and the Air Canada check-in staff directed me to the SAS ounge, but I was refused entry.

The Carlsberg lounge once directed us to the Apartment lounge, but it was so void of charm we returned to the trusted Carlsberg lounge.

Hi,

https://www.cph.dk/en/practical/workspaces-and-lounges
Says there is a New 2025 Aspire lounge, has anyone been and how does it compare to the Danske and Carlsberg lounges?

Have access to Danske flying Iberia and have PP to access Aspire and Carlsberg.

Thank you!
