This is THE *G lounge at LHR!! Signed the guest registry today (at the bar), check it out next time you pass through LHR and sign it yourself! ^ ^

I always make a visit to the SQ lounge when I travel out of LHR T3, it has become more or less compulsory, I think the lounge warden actually recognised me when I was there last time (two weeks ago).
The staff are really nice (and not once have they told me I was in the "wrong lounge"). The food and drinks are also great (try the red wine next time, it's really spicy), and one hour free wireless internet is of course also very useful.
If you go there in the evening they usually have hot food as well, they often have springrolls, somethimes also rice with curry chicken, yummy!!
I have also been there when I was the only visitor and had the whole lounge myself, seriously, why bother going to the SAS lounge?!

But honestly,once you are in your seat there isn´t much of a difference comfortwise between the LC and the legacy carrier.Well except perhaps ,that the low cost carriers usually have newer planes and younger FA´s

Anyone know if an EBG can get lounge access when travelling on an SAS charter flight? (i do know that i can't get points)
I'm off on SK7603 tomorrow.
While i think about it, do SAS Charter flight check in at the standard SAS counters? could i therefore possible use the gold checkin?

My last charter flight was ARN-POP back in 99. I asked nicely if me and my 2 friends could enter the lounge even if we were on a charter flight.
The GA said, sure, but only the Business lounge. We had about 50 beers and left 2 hrs later.
So it doesn't hurt to ask

*Golds don't get lounge access when coming off a SAS flight into OSL either, even if they have an onward boarding pass from the international terminal (just on another non-* Alliance carrier)?
Does lounge access on arrival into CPH work for non-EBG *Golds (presuming they get airside/stay airside and just came off an SAS flight)? (I used to do it quite a bit without much issue.)
