The SAS lounge at Helsinki airport is your basic airport lounge. Located in Terminal 1 it is easy…read moreto find just after security. The lounge has a clear Scandinavian feel to it with fairly modern design and as such is much nicer than the Finnair lounge (the within Schengen one) but fairly similar to the Aspire lounge. The lounge is usually fairly empty unless traveling at real peak times. They provide a decent selection of newspapers and magazines as well as free wifi (but is anyway free at the airport) and some computers. Food wise it is not great but there is always some fruit and snacks as well as (depending on time of day) either some salad and (cold) fish/meat or breakfast. For me the average European airline lounge these days (so not top as some of the nice lounges like BA at Heathrow or LH at Frankfurt). Good for something to drink (coffee,tea,sodas and wine,beer and hard liquor) and some eace and quiet. The sas flights also always depart right outside the lounge so convenient then.

Overall: A // 5 stars…read more My visit to this lounge was one of the few times I desperately longed for a shower, and I was so thrilled to find complete luxury in their personal showers, being quite spacious and luxorious, especially compared to the average hotel. Everything about this lounge is a treat, from the expansive food options that cover hot continental breakfast to pastries and dessert cookies, to an abundance of salads, freshly cut fruit, cheeses, and an impressive bar. The lounge is incredibly large with many rooms worth of space, and that's not including the first class side! If flying OW business, this one is not to be missed!

The vibe here is beyond word could express...foods are great, but not that Oh La La, but top notch.

I was able to store my bag at Finnair lounge (not far from bathroom) in the narrow corridor. You create your passcode and your bag is securely stored. When I returned I got my bag from the locker and still had 40 minutes so I decided to drink something and eat. Unfortunately food is very bad there and I didn't like anything. All vegan or salad options didn't look nutritious nor appealing. By time I came back lounge was definitely much spacious that before. I could easily found a seat and enjoy beautiful view of runway.

They accept Priority Pass if you have one and I believe you can pay for use if you are not a priority pass holder. They have light food options which were actually pretty good. They also have drinks both alcoholic and nonalcoholic at no additional charge. Want a cappuccino? They have a machine to make one as well as hot water for tea. They have a 3 hour limit so if you have a longer layover you will not be able to check into the lounge until 3 hours prior to boarding time.
