Overview
- SAS confirmed it will partner with established third‑party lounge operators to provide access where no SAS or SkyTeam lounge exists.
- The first partner lounges open on October 1, 2025, with more agreements and openings rolling out progressively through the autumn.
- Eligibility includes travelers booked in intra‑Europe Business Class and SkyTeam Elite Plus status holders, with access varying by airport during the rollout.
- Initial agreements cover airports such as Bergen, Helsinki, Billund, Stavanger, and Aalborg, with a wider list including Nice, Malaga, Palma, Madrid, Milan Linate, Manchester, Edinburgh, Prague, and Keflavik.
- SAS frames the expansion as a core element of its upgraded premium offering following restructuring and its transition from Star Alliance to SkyTeam supported by Air France‑KLM investment.
