Hi all,
I hope I haven't posted in the wrong place here, my first post so please bear with me.
I am a Eurobonus Silver member, but will have over 50,000 basic points at the end of Sept. My qualifying year. Not that this matters for my query here.
I am flying back to Arlanda from O'hare on the 25th Sept. I land at 08.00. My follow on flight to BHX is not until 17.30 that evening. Can I access the lounge? Even with payment. And how long before my 17.30 flight am I allowed into the lounge?
Also what choice of lounge is there? I am flying SAS all journeys.

I was under the impression that Star Alliance lounges are only accessible to Gold members. Are you flying Business Class? If yes then you can access the lounge.

I think United charges $50 but I heard it is not worth it.

Airport Lounges

If you have a boarding pass with the following airlines, you can pay US$40-50 for a day pass that will allow you to access these lounges. The international lounges in Terminal 5 also have class of service requirements. Check with the airlines.

Welcome to FT!

Will you reach Eurobonus Gold before your trip? If so you will have access to the SAS lounges at ORD and ARN.

If you are not going to be Gold, you can pay entry into the SAS lounge in T5 at Arlanda. The website says €28.

These seem to be the UA lounges at ORD, not Arlanda where the OP has the long all-day connection.

OP should check whether there are Priority Pass lounges that can be accessed and then get membership credentials ASAP. For PP, you must have the physical card with you for access. Some credit cards give PP Select (excluding most UA lounges) for free; otherwise, the cheapest plan is about $125 per year plus about $30 per lounge visit. IMO this is a very worthwhile insurance policy.

Thanks for the replies.
The language you speak seems to be foreign to me at the moment, but I will eventually understand all.
@Tomvexville
This trip and the trip to BHX will make it 50,000 +. So no, not gold until after this trip.
Most places say 3 hours before flight allowed into the lounge. I will maybe hang around a little and then try the lounge maybe 4 or 5 hours before.
Great site this is.

No worries. TBH if I had a layover that was that long, I would take the train into Stockholm and have a nice breakfast/lunch somewhere and wander around the city for a couple hours.
