Crazy world... wonder how long it takes until finally some people wake up from their socialist and humanistic dream and arrive in the reality.

Crazy world that results in sadness. And I'll leave it at that, speaking of a corner where I've waited many times for family and friends.

Self induced sadness, Sweden finally chocked on its never ending desire to be the most political correct country in the world and while the cost to its citizens has previously only been financially and devoiding them of any attempt at happiness, it is now also costing lives. I hope the country wakes up, closes all borders and starts acting in the interest of its own citizens instead of citizens of all countries but Sweden. Sweden has countless problems without the ones it is importing in massive quantities on a daily basis.

Most people probably have already forgotten that this is not the first terrorist attack in Stockholm, while the previous one only took the assailants live, we'll undoubtedly see more of this in the near future.

It'll be interesting to see how the propaganda machine is going to clean this up.

They won't even try to clean it up. Like in Germany (with the Berlin truck attack) there will be a couple of days collective sadness followed by ignoring it ever happened.

Not to go OMNI/PR but I certainly agree with you.

My deepest symphaties to those affected.

Having said that we are dangerously close to go completely off track and in to Omni territory where the thread rather quickly can get "interesting". So, without any disrespect what so ever, let's move back into the SAS Cafe.

Omni territory?

Condolences to Sweden.

On topic - what do you do when the SAS lounge is too full for comfort? I'm at CPH on a long layover and chilling at the Caviar House because food.

After enough posts on FT and after enough months of FT use, there are some sections of FT that may -- not necessarily -- be available for use. FT OMNI forums are an example of that, and they are for discussions that are considered off-topic to the travel-related forums. Coupon Connection (to exchange things) is another example of such forums for the "privileged" here.

If the SAS lounge is too full at CPH to find a seat -- can't say I've had that be a reason I would leave the SK lounge at CPH -- then I'd ask for access to the dayrooms (which almost no one uses). That or I'd leave and use my Priority Pass account to use one of the non-airline lounges at CPH, go sit in the seats at an empty gate area, or do as you did.

I usually just go downstairs in these situations. Have never seen the ground floor be so crowded as not to be usable.

(Have they restored the day rooms? I asked about a year ago, and I was told that these had been permanently closed; with the new rest area being over the entrance to the lounges).

I didn't realize they had closed them down permanently.

Can't say that would surprise me in one way: cost-cutting.

Ah makes sense.

I've not looked into the other lounge options. I'm stuck here for several hours today and the lounge keeps getting really crowded and quite loud. At one point only a handful of seats were left but it's like family travel day or something.

Yeah. Today is a perfect day to start Easter vacation for locals, and to head home for expats and immigrants. It is likely one of the busier day in this respect.

Flying Lufthansa out of ARN soon, will lounge entry work the same with the automated gate just like with a SK ticket?
