It&#8217;s basically one big room containing everything, but space has never been a problem during my visits. The lounge has a table\/dining area and a small business area with computers. Free Wi-Fi access is provided and works well.\u00a0The lounge has a high level of cleanness and the bathrooms are clean and private. The staff is in friendly and helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungeheldiningarea2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"818\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungeheldiningarea2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungeheldiningarea2.jpg 818w, https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungeheldiningarea2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungeheldiningarea2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Light food is served during all opening hours. For example, during morning hours typically Scandinavian breakfast in the form of bread, cheese, ham, jam and pastries is served. Besides the breakfast options the food offerings will not be able to make up for a full meal. The food served can more be categorized as snacks. The basic selection of\u00a0beverages is\u00a0provided\u00a0including: juice, coffee, tea, water, common soft drinks, and a small selection of beers, and wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungehelrestingarea.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"818\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungehelrestingarea.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungehelrestingarea.jpg 818w, https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungehelrestingarea-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungehelrestingarea-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion the\u00a0SAS lounge in\u00a0Helsinki-Vantaa Airport is a decent member of the Star Alliance lounge family, but in no way spectacular and quite average. The food and drink options are rather limited. This is mainly a lounge for shorter breaks, but I find the lounge cozy and nice for a bit of work or\u00a0relaxation before a flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungehelbusinessarea.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"818\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungehelbusinessarea.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungehelbusinessarea.jpg 818w, https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungehelbusinessarea-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bornoe.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/sasloungehelbusinessarea-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>More reviews are available at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/sas-business-lounge-vantaa\">Yelp<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SAS lounge in Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL)\u00a0is located in terminal 1 and is a SAS lounge only (no SAS Gold lounge).
