Saga Gold Lounge Annex

Recent KEF maps and reviews only show one Icelandair Saga Lounge, with no separate Saga Gold Lounge Annex operating airside in Terminal 1.

If your boarding pass or app still mentions “Saga Gold Lounge Annex,” treat it as legacy wording linked to the main Saga Lounge near Gate D. Current reports from 2023–2024 only describe a single Icelandair lounge post‑security, serving both Saga and elite passengers.

KEF Terminal 1 is compact, and walking from the furthest Schengen gate to the existing Saga Lounge typically takes under 8–10 minutes. No recent trip reports mention signage, doors, or reception desks marked “Annex” anywhere airside, including around the C and D gate clusters.

Lounge capacity is a known issue at KEF, with the main Saga Lounge sometimes going on waitlist status during Icelandair banks around 07:00–09:00 and 16:00–18:00. If an Annex ever functioned as overflow, regulars on FlyerTalk in threads from 2022–2024 do not reference it, which strongly suggests it is either closed, rebranded away, or fully merged into the main space.

Food, drink, and seating reviews for KEF all point back to one location with a single buffet line, one staffed bar area, and a few quiet corners along the windows. No reviewer in the linked 2025 write‑ups notes moving between a “main” Saga and a secondary Annex for extra seating or different catering.

Because access rules at KEF are enforced by barcode scan at each lounge door, the lack of a second scanner in current photos is another clue. Your Icelandair Saga Premium ticket or Gold status should route you to the existing Saga Lounge entrance signposted near the D gates, not to any “Annex” door.

If a future Annex reopens as true overflow, expect KEF and Icelandair to list it explicitly on airport maps and in the Icelandair app, with fresh photos and updated hours. Until that appears, plan your layover around the main Icelandair Saga Lounge only.

Practical tip: If you see “Saga Gold Lounge Annex” printed anywhere, ask the check‑in or transfer desk at KEF Terminal 1 to point you to the current Saga Lounge entrance and ignore the “Annex” label.
