Strikes a blow for SAS lounge 🇸🇪

It's easy to keep from laughing when you want a bite to eat at Arlanda - or even worse in Copenhagen because of our shameful currency - when a piece of chocolate and a coffee immediately slides up to over a hundred riksdaler, while a croissant with salami/brie and a tea free sails away over 200 kronor. If you dare to go for a stingy shrimp sandwich with mechanically cleaned shrimps (and maybe a small sprig of dill and sliced cucumber slice) and a sloppy light beer in the style of Mariestad, it's closer to SEK 400 .

Of course, it's a market economy and it's mainly the premises that cost, and those who sell the food are probably busy even walking around despite the price tags. But that doesn't make it any more fun to have to consider swaying an organ or two for a mazarin and sparkling water.

Fortunately, there is a little lifehack. When you book your ticket, make sure to add a SAS lounge. It usually costs just under SEK 300 and voila, you get to sit comfortably with good charging facilities, complete with good toilets and revel in coffee, tea, wine/beer, soft drinks and a decent selection of coffee. The latter usually includes a salad buffet, simple main courses, hearty breakfasts, cakes, chips, small sweets and in between rounds also things like ice cream and smoothies.

If you know that you are going to eat at the airport and will be sitting for an hour or so - then go for a lounge next time. The chances are decent that you will get to eat more and better and have a much nicer airplane hang.
