American Express Lounge

Amex Platinum at Oslo just sends you to the OSL Lounge

Above gate E2 in Terminal T, American Express cardholders are directed to the standard OSL Lounge, not a separate Centurion‑style American Express Lounge, so set expectations accordingly if you’re used to flagship Amex spaces in London or the US.

The lounge sits airside in the Schengen area, reachable by elevator and stairs near gate E2, and it runs roughly 05:15 until the day’s final departure, which covers the early SAS and Norwegian bank plus the last evening flights to hubs like LHR and FRA.

Access for Amex is through the contract arrangement: most reports mention Amex Platinum cardholders getting in, alongside other eligible premium cards and business‑class tickets, so keep your physical card and same‑day boarding pass ready at the desk to avoid delays at peak morning waves around 06:00–08:00.

Food is typical contract‑lounge fare for Scandinavia, with light breakfast items out from around 05:30 (think bread, cheese, cold cuts, cereal) and simple hot options rotating later in the day; pricing is baked into your access, so you won’t pay extra for snacks, but don’t plan on a full restaurant‑level meal before a 2‑hour flight.

Drinks include self‑serve coffee machines, tea, soft drinks and basic beer and wine, with spirits more hit‑or‑miss depending on time of day, and regulars suggest grabbing a proper espresso here before boarding rather than relying on whatever shows up in economy on a short SAS hop under 2 hours.

Seating spreads across several zones with views over the Schengen pier near gates in the E range; power outlets are scattered but not at every seat, so grab a spot near a wall or pillar if you need to recharge a laptop during a 60–90 minute layover.

Oslo‑based Amex Platinum flyers on FlyerTalk treat this as their default lounge before SAS or BA flights, but many compare it unfavorably with Centurion Lounges in cities like DFW or LHR and mainly use it for a quick snack, drink and Wi‑Fi instead of lingering for more than an hour.

Practical tip: if your gate is also in the E area and you have Schengen departure, check the lounge crowd level first; during the 07:00 bank it can get busy, so aim to arrive around 30–40 minutes after opening for a quieter window and a better choice of seats near outlets.
