Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has announced one of its biggest upgrades to its Business Class product: the addition of 35 new VIP lounges that will transform the travel experience for corporate and high-end customers.
The plan, based on agreements with top-tier operators, will allow passengers to access high-quality facilities in strategic destinations. The airline aims to offer a consistent and competitive service in line with the international standards of the SkyTeam alliance, of which it is a member.
According to Theres Briger, Head of Ground Products at SAS, this move represents “a comprehensive upgrade of our Business Class offering, with lounge access as a key part of the experience.”
First Confirmed Locations
The first associated lounges will be available starting October 1, 2025, with a gradual rollout throughout the fall.
Agreements have already been signed in Bergen, Helsinki, Billund, Stavanger, and Aalborg, which will join a growing network. Additionally, the company is working to extend access to cities with high tourist and corporate traffic such as Nice, Malaga, Palma, Lisbon, Venice, Florence, Naples, Malta, Madrid, Milan Linate, Manchester, Edinburgh, Prague, Krakow, and Keflavik.

Integration with SkyTeam and Customer Experience
This initiative not only expands the network of available lounges but also strengthens SAS’s positioning within SkyTeam, allowing users to enjoy an experience consistent with that of other alliance airlines.
The expected result: a smoother, more comfortable, and predictable journey, where consistency in premium service becomes the hallmark of SAS for business and frequent travelers.
