Aviator Lounge

Aspire full? Aviator sits opposite in Terminal 2 between A and B

Aviator Lounge sits landside-Schengen in Terminal 2, between Piers A and B near the /B/ gates, almost directly across from the Aspire Lounge. It’s a Priority Pass lounge, used mainly by Star and low-cost passengers starting or connecting inside Schengen who don’t want to clear passport control for Eventyr in Terminal 3.

Opening hours vary a bit by season but typically cover the main CPH bank from early morning departures around 05:00 through the evening wave. It’s post-security in T2, so you’re 5–10 minutes from most A and B gates on foot. If your boarding pass shows T3 but you’re departing Schengen, you can still access it via the airside corridor linking Terminals 2 and 3.

Inside, think simple seating for 80–100 people, with low armchairs lined along the windows facing the apron between A and B stands. Power outlets are hit-or-miss; you’ll find more sockets along the walls by the bar area than in the middle clusters. Wi‑Fi runs off the airport’s free network, which typically tests around 20–40 Mbps down, enough for video calls if the lounge isn’t slammed.

Food lands firmly in “light snack” territory, and this is where it trails Eventyr in T3. Expect basics like bread, cheese, cold cuts, maybe a soup or simple hot option at lunch, plus pastries in the morning; think one or two hot trays, not a full meal service. If you want a serious dinner, you’re better off grabbing a proper plate in the main T2 concourse, where a sit-down restaurant will run you around 150–250 DKK.

Drinks are self-serve, with a counter holding a small liquor lineup, house wine, and a draft or bottled beer option, all included with Priority Pass entry. Coffee comes from a push-button machine, not a barista. Soft drinks sit in fridges along the wall, usually cans of soda and bottled water; take one for the road if your airline doesn’t cater heavily.

Regulars walk past Aspire, glance through the glass, then peek into Aviator; both doors sit within a minute’s walk, so they commit to whichever looks less crowded from the corridor. During refurbishment periods, some sections in Aviator have been cordoned off while staying open to PP, which makes it feel tighter than Aspire even with similar floor space.

If you’re Schengen-side with a Priority Pass and more than 90 minutes before departure from an A or B gate, check Aspire first, then Aviator; if both look rammed, skip the queue and grab a paid meal in T2 instead of spending half your layover hunting for a chair.
