Which lounge can I use at Copenhagen?

Which lounge can I use departing CPH in J as a BA SIlver/OWS?
The OneWorld lounge guide suggests that Qatar have a contract with the Primeclass lounge, but that's in T3 and Qatar depart from T2.

Thanks.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure QR always uses the C concourse on Terminal 3. I had no problem accessing the lounge two weeks ago. The lounge is fairly small, but there were only two other people there when I flew last.

For my upcoming booking, the QR app matches what the OP posted: that I should use the Primeclass lounge, and my flight (the 2235 departure) will leave from T2.

T2/T3 designation in CPH really only tells you where to check-in. Everybody goes through the same single central security, and all gates (A-F) are connected and walkable airside. Qatar departs from the non-Schengen C gates that are rehires you to pass through passport control. Primeclass lounge is in C gates after passport control.

That flight regularly departs from C gates that are really close to the Primeclass lounge. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

I'd be surprised if it departed from anything other than the C gates ever, as that is the only part of the airport to have a Schengen border control.

(Also, they always depart from C40 when my inbound arrives at A17 and there is less than 50 minutes connection time and there's 100.000 too many people in the terminal. This is a fact you can take to the bank.)

Sounds like you squeeze a workout run into your layover

Technically there are also non-schengen D gates (same passport control as C) and F gates (separate passport control). But C gates are the only non-schengen widebody gates, so yes Qatar always departs from C ;-)

The Primeclass lounge is quite wretched. Was sent there last week and had my boarding card scanned by someone who looked at me like I was something the cat dragged in. Walked in to find the lounge was exactly as large as it looked while standing at the reception desk - i.e. minuscule - and went straight out and to the Eventyr lounge. Thank goodness for Priority Pass.

It's not that far of a walk, it it hadn't been for the density of shops and people shopping...

I have had a case of arriving at D101, having to run to catch the boarding time at D1... to be told the aircraft had gone tech. It doesn't get much better than that.
