SAS has its own lounge at Newark (EWR), which is located in Terminal B3, near Gate 60
- SAS Lounge (access for EBP, EBD, EBG, *A Gold, *A First Class, *A Business Class, SAS Business, SAS Plus)
In addition to the SAS lounge there are also other lounges located in Terminal B3 at EWR:
- Lufthansa Senator Lounge (right across the SAS Lounge, access for *G, including EBP, EBD, EBG, *A First)
- Lufthansa Business Lounge (right across the SAS Lounge, access for *A Business, including SAS Businesss)
The Lufthansa lounges are often overcrowded and they will turn away all non-LHG pax if the lounges are too crowded. Usually after the early departure wave approx. 17:00, the situation improves.
In addition to the above lounges in Terminal B3, there are also other lounges located in the other terminals at EWR, a selection of which is provided below:
- United Polaris Lounge (Terminal C, right after security, access only for intercontinental *A Business, including SAS Business)
- United Clubs (Terminal C, several different locations available, access to *A First (intercontinental), *A Business (interncontinental) and *G)
- AMEX Centurion lounge (Terminal A3, access for AMEX Centurion and AMEX Platinum)
There is a transfer Bus located at Gate 70 to transfer from Terminal C to Terminal A and B

SAS Lounge Newark (EWR)
I'm coming in to Newark by SAS on Sunday afternoon, travelling onwards by train. I was wondering if there is any *A arrivals lounge with shower or other facility I could use to freshen up before continuing? I am Eurobonus Gold.

I agree - getting a shower really does make a difference. You might want to check whether one of the airport hotels has a day-pass option for its fitness center.
I don't know about EWR, but I have visited the fitness center at the ORD Hilton; I don't recall the price, but it wouldn't have been stupidly expensive.

Way back when the late night flight from CPH was still running, I used to stay at the Mariott Newark, a short walk acorss the parking lott (although it was not the official way, it was by far the fastest). The have a fitness centre, and I am sure they sell a daypass. Try this:

SAS has a Scandinavian Lounge right at the gates. I haven't used it for the last couple of years, but, when I did, it would fill up to capacity as the departure time approached. I'd head there asap to get a decent seat. You need to meet the usual requirements to get in, of course.
On a related note, I am flying LAX-ARN for the first time in a couple of weeks and have not seen any comments on the options at LAX yet. I know that there is neither an SAS nor an Amex Centurion lounge. Anyone know the best options near the gates with Star Alliance Gold or Priority Pass? I am hoping for a decent United Club like the one at SFO(?)

Not sure if you are arriving or departing on SAS. If you're arriving on SAS (Terminal B), then you have to clear immigration before any lounge etc.
Depending on the airline you are taking next, you could use their lounges - but given it costs ~$50 to buy a day pass, probably not worth it for what you get.
If your next flight is on UA (likely from Term C), I would suggest you just hang out in the terminal - they have redone the area and there are a bunch of very nice restaurants now - would rather spend the money there rather than the always crowded United lounges.

The United Club at SFO is a total joke.
The Star Alliance lounge at LAX is actually very decent. Spacious, bar service, decent snacks, good seating, functional wifi and proper bathroom facilities. It also felt like there was a constant flow of passengers instead of the usual stockpiling an hour before departure. Probably one of the better lounges in the US when flying SK. I had previously only flown OW from LAX and this was a pleasant surprise.

I can't say enough good things about the Star Alliance lounge at LAX international terminal (TBIT). It's a great lounge. I enjoy the outside patio, note that it faces east (and a bit north) so you can see planes coming in for descent but can't see the sunset.

Holy cow, just saw on Instagram that there's a brand new United Club in ORD international terminal near gate B18. Wonder if it's on par with the one in LHR T2B.

Apparently there's already a thread...

And it's not in the International Terminal.. thanks StarAlliance instagram account...

Right, International terminal gates start with "M".
The terminal 1+2 United lounges where both very mediocre, the pictures of the refurbished version look like an improvement.

I'm flying out of Newark - Terminal B - tomorrow night on TAP.
I'm trying to figure out which lounges I have access to.
Priority Pass has an landside club Art & Lounge - that I can access, but i'm wondering about any of the others.
I am gold AA and I also have a Prestige card - but I'm not flying One World ...
Do I have any other options than the PP club? Is it worth going to the other terminals?
thank you.
