SAS Business Lounge

SAS Business Lounge sits upstairs above gate E2 in T

Head to the Schengen pier at Oslo Gardermoen, find gate E2 in Terminal T, then take the stairs or lift up on the right for the old SAS Business Lounge entrance. This space historically handled standard Star Alliance business traffic before the inner SAS Gold zone, so it feels more like a working lounge than a quiet sanctuary.

Hours track SAS’s own schedule and the lounge typically opens about 1 hour before the first SAS departure of the day, not the first Lufthansa or Brussels Airlines flight. Miles & More regulars with 06:05 departures from OSL report finding the doors shut, so don’t count on it if your boarding time starts with 05:xx.

Access is geared to premium cabins: SAS Business, SAS Plus and Star Alliance business‑class passengers in the Schengen area, including those on Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines. FlyerTalk users confirm a Lufthansa business boarding pass works at the desk upstairs above gate E2, and the same reports mention Brussels Airlines in business being waved through.

Think standard SAS lounge setup: self‑serve food islands, coffee machines, and beer and wine taps, not champagne on demand. You’re paying with the ticket, not cash at the door, so there’s no separate day‑pass counter price to worry about. Use this space for a coffee, a quick bite, and Wi‑Fi rather than a long pre‑flight meal.

Layout follows the old two‑tier SAS model: the Business Lounge formed the outer ring and the SAS Gold Lounge sat further inside for status guests. Regulars on Star Alliance business who don’t hold Star Gold just stay in this first area above E2, which still has power outlets along the window seats and reasonable views of the Schengen stands.

Frequent Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines passengers repeatedly mention skipping the generic OSL Lounge elsewhere in the terminal and heading straight to the SAS Business Lounge instead. Their play: go directly to gate E2 after security in T, ride the escalator up on the right, and show the *A business boarding pass without starting a rules debate at the contract lounge.

Practical tip: if your non‑SAS Star Alliance flight leaves before 07:00, check the current SAS lounge opening time in the app the night before; if it still opens close to the first SAS departure, plan breakfast in the main T concourse and use the lounge only for a quick coffee and restroom stop.
