SAS plus lounge access amsterdam
Hi,
I have a plus ticket from AMS to CPH and it seems to me that i should have access to a lounge in amsterdam (flysas.com/en/fly-with-us/travel-extras/lounge/) and when i use this tool (staralliance.com/en/lounge-finder), provided that i say im a business passenger, it would seem that i have access to the executive lounge.
But am I a business passenger ? cause sas plus is not strictly speaking business.
I also wondered if this lounge was worth it ? been reading some thread saying that it was a disgrace, but they were over 5 years old...
Thank you

No lounge access at all: Airport-managed lounges discontinued for SAS passengers.

As soon as AMS gets the *A lounge we hopefully can close this topic once and for all.

I had access to the lounge at AMS with a Plus ticket last November. The lounge had a bunch of airline logos at the reception with SAS being one of them. In the evening peak I found it difficult to find a seat and the offerings were highly mediocre.

SAS Plus (business?) intra-European
a friend and I have booked flights US-FRA-ARN. Vacation.
FRA-ARN served by SAS on A320. That flight, according to the itinerary, is booked in booking class Z and named SAS Plus.
From what I can read, SAS Plus (intra-European business class) only benefit seems to be seating near the front of the aircraft. Is that correct?
I'm booked into 3A and my friend 3B. Otherwise, this flight in June appears to be almost empty. Does SAS not keep at least the center seat vacant, like LH on their intra-European flights!

SK will not actively keep the middle seat free, but if you are already two in a row, and it is generally wide open, people are probably not going to select the last seat.
June next year is far off. By then the cabin is likely to be fairly full .

SAS Plus is an economy product with free beverage service and a ...... inedible meal. The fact they label it Premium Economy is far from what you'd expect from such a product.
Nevertheless, CPH-Flyer nailed the answers. Expect the middle seat on routes such as ARN-FRA and ARN-LHR to be taken, especially in June as SAS will just fill the planes.

Thanks, appreciate the disappointing responses. If I had known it was premium economy, I would have booked on the Lufthansa flight and at least had an empty middle seat. I will move my friend to 3C and cross fingers that maybe, just maybe, the seat will be empty.
Yes I know I was asking many months in advance, but was hoping for a mixup on their part.

A point to remember, apart from the meal served, you can request anything from the economy class buy on board menu for free.
