February Trip
Hi,
I'm flying on CO/KF through ARN to HEL on Feb 17/18. I was wondering if someone could sponsor me to any of the ARN lounges on Feb. 18th between 8:00 and 11:15 AM or at HEL after 2:15 PM. Thank you so much.

I think you are right, last week the business lounge was closed at OSL so those pax were let into the Scandinavian lounge. I was alone in the lounge and there were 5 pax on my 738 to CPH at 07.10. Odd feeling.

Just discovered this forum in December whilst checking on the flight chaos due to snow in Europe. What a great resource! I consider myself pretty much an "infrequent" flyer - but with 3 or 4 return trips in Y or B to Europe each year plus some domestic flights I can make EBG, even with a registered address in China. As such I guess I am going to be asking more questions than answering, but I'll help out when I can. First trip of the year back to Europe coming up this week!

Finally to the step and accepted a new job. A step up and forward but it will not require nearly as much travel.
Changing ARN-LIN, MAD, DXB and MCO to ARN-GOT and MMX (at the most). After five years as a road warrior I actually now look forward to be able to come home to the little family after a days work.
I will still be lurking around though .
Cheers,

Congratulations. A change of pace and flight patterns can be appreciated. Just expect more "home work". 
Anyone know the best way to make a claim -- under the EU rules applicable to flight cancellations/delays -- about an SK flight cancellation for CPH-UK due to a mechanical situation with the SK trip making a 2 hour journey into a 6 hour journey? This is for a ticket bought outside of Europe for a simple intra-EU roundtrip.

I had a recent similar case with SK where we disagreed on the interpretation of the EU rules. In the end I sent the case to ARN who refused the case as it was in the future and incurred no financial loss. By the time I got that message it was already time to travel and due to other circumstances I had already rebooked. But I don't know how to enforce the EU rules for future bookings. Perhaps www.flightmole.com knows?
I'm not surprised that the authorities in Sweden weren't cooperative in your situation. I'm just curious if they'd even be cooperative in terms of complying with the EU/EC directive for trips already taken and if the claim should be made in Denmark and/or if it can be made in Sweden just as well as in Denmark. [I ask this because a lot of those CPH-originating passengers are Swedish residing in Sweden.]

The SAS lounge in Chicago is closed at the moment due to remodelling. They tell you to use the Swiss lounge instead. It is completely empty at Swiss lounge around 14:00 (1.5 hours before boarding time of the SK flight to ARN), I am the only visitor. No food expects bisquits (Pepperidge Farm, however).

They did provide some food closer to the departure of the flight to ARN, but the Swiss lounge is not a nice option compared to the SK lounge. Must be very crowded in the late afternoon before the SK CPH flight and LX flight.

CPH 22:00
30.1 CPH 19:30
