No more city lounges
Have not seen this reported here: https://finalcall.travel/da/sas-afsl...nge-stockholm/ [Danish]
TLDR: On 31/10 SAS stops the city lounge collaboration in Stockhom.
I guess this is a good news, provided that the money saved is used wisely. Nobody really liked the city lounges apparently.

It was an absolute nonsense idea to begin with, the fact it has lasted this long is more than surprising.
But now we have the next failure of an idea ready, airport lounges with gyms because that's what SAS's marketing department has decided what us travellers want.
Would be very productive if they could just take the survey data and improve what people actually ask for like every other company in the world.

Seems that SAS is getting good at closing lounges.

No worries, once the sponsorship from that fitness company runs out they will surely put some duty free pop up shop there.

Nowadays SK is slowly becoming LCC-like airline. I hope that SAS is going to put this money into allowing C pax to use the contract lounges.
Proper intra-Europe SAS Plus is also welcome... the "Cube" food concept is a failure... and so on.

I find them still quite far from LCCs. They give me transport where I need, unlike most of the LCCs. Premium economy does not include lounge access for most airlines. It is maybe slightly annoying for some of you that SK has no business class. I hardly miss it, as I would not be using it anyways.

As others: One of few setbacks i won't miss and is a real setback.
Stupid from the beginning (as the gym in Oslo). Keep the basics fixed first. I would much more prefer simple lounges at airports like Rome, Geneva or Dublin.
