LOUNGE OVERVIEW
SAS has two lounges at Copenhagen (CPH), both of which are located in Terminal 3, opposite the passport control of the C Gates:
- SAS Gold Lounge (turn right and go upstairs: access for EBP, EBD, EBG, *A Gold, *A First Class)
- SAS Lounge (turn left: access for SAS Business, SAS Plus, *A Business)
As of the 12th of September 2023 the lounge is open at 05.00AM but this is subject to change.
Here's the latest link to info about SAS lounges: https://www.flysas.com/content/flysa...AS%20departure.
LOUNGE AMENITIES
The SAS Gold Lounge offers the same amenities as the SAS Lounge, but with a slightly better food and drink selection. There is also an espresso bar which is staffed in peak periods. The Gold Lounge has higher ceilings and a more airy atmosphere.
Breakfast items (oatmeal, eggs, cereal, etc) are available at the buffet until around 10.30AM, when the offer shifts towards lunch.
A small number of showers are available.
Quieter recliners and places to sleep are towards the back of the lounges, overlooking the landside car park.
LOUNGE ON ARRIVAL
Arrival use of the lounge is for PY, J, and SK Diamond and above (thanks CPH-Flyer for providing the information).
In addition to the SAS lounges there are the following contract lounges at CPH:

- Carlsberg Aviator Lounge (Terminal 2, between Piers A and B, access with Priority Pass, among others)

Then I would say no chance in SK lounge (unless you pay, which is often possible, in excess of 200 danish crowns per visit).
Other paid options are servisair and novia lounges that are slightly cheaper (and can give you access if you hold a suitable credit card or priority pass).
Since your non A* flight is intra-European, I guess, I doubt you can reap any benefits from the operating carrier on the incoming leg, which may or may not be offering an arrival service. I never heard of such in Copenhagen (besides SK), but I rarely fly on non A* flights, and I do not read their flyertalk forums

I think you may have misread the post.
Arriving in CPH with AC in J, then connecting to ZRH with LX in Y.
Question is, will the passenger have lounge access at CPH without *G or SAS elite status. (he does have *S status)

I wouldn't be so comfortable doing that in a public lounge, on the 21-inch iMacs. Maybe if it was on my own computer, and sitting in a shielded corner.

I will have four hours to kill after my arrival into CPH ~9:00am while waiting for Mrs. Milepig to arrive on a later flight.
The kicker for me is that this is the start of a multi-week trip, so we will have checked bags to collect. I would normally check them with me to save time when Mrs. MP lands.
So, what to do with those four hours? I'm flying on 016 (UA) ticket stock and am actually flying UA ORD-FRA and then LH FRA-CPH (with an LH flight number, not codeshare), F on the ORD-FRA leg and FRA-CPH is booked into business. SAS itself isn't involved in any way. Mrs. MP is transferring to SAS at LHR so will clear immigration at CPH. I'm not worried about lounge access for her since by the time she arrives we'll be good to head into our accommodation in the city.
According to the current SAS website as *Gold I should have access to any of their lounges, does this include the CPH arrivals lounge?
EuroBonus Gold & Diamond & Star Alliance Gold members: If you have a boarding pass for international travel from your local airport with SAS or a Star Alliance partner, you have access to SAS, Star Alliance and SAS partner lounges – there are over 1000 lounges around the world. This also applies at the SAS domestic lounge at Stockholm Arlanda Terminal 4.
If I do have access to the lounge it might make sense to check the bags with Mrs. MP as they'll be tagged "premier" at ORD and should come off early.
Lacking lounge access, other ideas for killing four hours when jetlagged and in possession of 2 suitcases? I could always kill time by going into town and back if there are lockers, I guess.

As far as I'm aware there is no CPH SK arrivals lounge. Arriving from SK operated IC the normal lounge did let me in a couple of times even without a connecting flight. Not to sure about arriving from a LH operated shorthaul with checked baggage waiting on the belts...
Regarding Priority tags on bags: don't count on see those on the belt first, CPH baggage handlers are good a ignoring those or even unload the priority bags last
It was a little bit better the last couple of months but still hit and miss.
you can find luggage lockers at P4: http://www.cph.dk/en/CustomerService/baggage/lockers/
So, going to the city is probably the best thing you can do - or perhaps visit the aquarium ( http://www.denblaaplanet.dk) or the shopping mall (http://fields.dk) close to the airport

EuroBonus Gold & Diamond members can also access SAS lounges if arriving from a SAS-operated intercontinental flight (except at Newark due to airport authority regulations).
I think your quote goes for depature, although it doesn't say. Otherwise we'd also have access to arrivallounges on intra european and scandinavian flights and I don't think that is the case?
For the lockers, check

You can easily see some of the city in 4 hours by taking the metro to Kgs. Nytorv or Nørreport (~15min). Your priority tag can make a 5 minute difference, but don't count on it :P

The priority tags can be random - we've had everything from seeing the bags driven up on the back of a special truck and hand walked over to the carousel to having them come off dead last. At one airport (MUC?, they all blur after awhile) they have a special roped off area they place them in. I'm hoping CPH will be on the better end of the scale.

Thanks, I figured arrivals lounge access was too much to hope for!

Seriously, I'm finding the CPH website hard to penetrate and lacking in certain key pieces of information - like the terminal information for SK just says 1,3 with no indication of which flights arrive where, and the SK website for flight status just gives an arrival time with no gate information - I guess all flights are also equal?
Anyway, the current questions are:
Since my LH flight from FRA will be Schengen, will I arrive in a mixed arrival/departure area for T3, leaving me free to use the regular SK lounge without going landside?
Will Mrs. MP's flight for LHR on SK also arrive in T3 since its international?
A few days later we're taking a short hop on SK to OSL - that's T1?

I had some issues entering the lounge at Arlanda on arrival with a United printed boarding pass for SAS Business. It took a while for the agent to realize I was arriving on SAS. But other than that I found it fairly useful, since I was able to grab some breakfast which I chose to skip on the flight in favour of sleep.
