60° Lounge

Gate F66 in Terminal 5 is where you’ll find 60° Lounge

This non‑Schengen lounge sits almost at the end of the F‑pier near gate F66 in Terminal 5, so it mainly serves long‑haul and UK/Ireland departures. It’s a contract space, not tied to one airline, and a lot of Star Alliance passengers end up here only because their carrier doesn’t offer anything else at Arlanda.

Hours vary with the long‑haul bank, but figure opening from early morning departures through late evening flights after 20:00; it often tracks ANA, Air China, and Turkish schedules out of T5. Access is a mix of airline invitations, lounge programs, and straight walk‑up payment at the desk, which regulars confirm is still possible even after Turkish cut Star Gold lounge benefits here.

Several FlyerTalk posts call out that ANA and Air China use 60° Lounge as their contract option at ARN, so if your airline’s site is vague, check the small print on your boarding pass for “Lounge: 60°” or printed directions to gate F66. One Turkish Airlines passenger in 2024 mentioned only realizing TK had stopped providing access at the door, then paying out of pocket to get in.

The complimentary spread is basic: think a couple of cold snacks, some bread, maybe soup, and simple pastries, not a hot buffet with multiple mains. A LoungeReview user, ‘mikael330’, described “very small lounge with limited food and drinks,” and noted that the better drink selection sits behind a paywall, with spirits and some beers only available for purchase.

Alcohol policy catches people out: house wine and a basic beer may be included, but several reviewers mention that the larger selection of drinks costs extra, which stings if you’ve already paid a day‑pass fee at the front desk. If you care about value per krona, compare the day‑pass price against just buying a meal and a drink in the main Terminal 5 F‑gate restaurants.

Complaints are consistent: small space, thin food, and limited free drinks, especially frustrating for passengers holding business class tickets on carriers that previously offered a different lounge at Arlanda. People on Turkish, in particular, mention paying again at 60° Lounge after September 2024, despite flying in J and holding Star Alliance Gold status.

Tip: if your flight boards at nearby gates like F62–F68, use 60° Lounge as a quiet(er) seat with Wi‑Fi, grab a snack, but eat a proper meal in Terminal 5 first so you’re not relying on this place for dinner.
