Aviator Lounge - A Tiny Room Under Renovation
In a beautiful Friday afternoon, we were flying from Helsinki to Brussels via Copenhagen Airport. We had a few problems with our Brussels Airlines flight, leading to a long layover in Copenhagen. Luckily, as Priority Pass and Diners Club card holders, many airport lounges were waiting for us.
There are 6 departure business lounges at Copenhagen Airport. With our membership cards, we had rights to access Aviator Lounge, Primeclass Lounge, Eventyr Lounge and Aspire Lounge. Because our connecting flight was leaving for the Schengen area, we had to visit naturally a Schengen area lounge. Finally, we had to choose between Aviator and Aspire Lounges.
We ended up choosing Aviator Lounge because it was located on the tarmac side of the terminal. We had a camera with us, and we planned to take some nice photographs of aeroplanes.
Unfortunately, once we got in after registration, it was an immediate huge disappointment. The lounge did not look like a business lounge but a social room on a construction site. It was small, crowded, noisy and poorly furnished with old sofas. The overview of the lounge was ugly and untrendy. This lounge has never seen the beauty of Scandinavian design.
The lounge's owner could defend himself by saying a renovation was happening. That may be true, but this information was not mentioned outside the lounge. The receptionist said nothing about the renovation, but it was a big surprise for the customers, as one could not notice it immediately from the entrance.
How to Find the Lounge in Copenhagen Airport?
There is also something good to say about the lounge. It is easily found in terminal 2 between gate wings A and B. In the middle of the terminal, there are clear signs. The lounge is located right after climbing the stairs up to the second floor.
Services Available in Aviator Lounge
The lounge had the basic services. There were some old sofas and a few tables with chairs. Toilets and Wi-Fi were also available. Working in the lounge was not easy because there was severe lack of power outlets.
The lounge decoration wasn't special, but as hungry travellers, we expected more from snacks and food. The first disappointment was that there was no warm food. The catering consisted mainly of bread, cheese, butter and ham. Some fruits like apples and oranges were available. Behind the bread table was a big advertisement for fresh bread. During our actual visit, though, the pieces of bread did not appear or taste fresh at all.
The drink selection was also very ordinary. There was a soft drink machine with Danish labels attached. The juice was also available. The alcohol selection was small, consisting of wine, self-served beer (one type), and one type of strong alcohol. Compared to our other lounge experiences, the drink selection of Aviator Lounge was minimal.
The Price to Get in
The lounge's price is 155 Danish Crowns, about 21 euros. Even though the price seems affordable, it is still too much for this lounge.
Our Rating
Comfort in the Lounge
Comfort inside the lounge may be better than outside, but the quality was poor compared to the baseline of lounges. The decoration was not beautiful, and the lounge was too small, crowded, and noisy. It was not a pleasure to wait for our flight here.
Catering
No warm food was available, not even soup. The bread was not as fresh as advertised, and not many other items were available. This lounge is not for hungry people. We give a two-star rating for very little variety in the food.
Drink Selection
The drink selection was slightly better than the food selection. Soft drinks, alcohol, and hot drinks were available. The selection was relatively small but enough for us.
Services
The lounge had all the basic services like toilets and Wi-Fi. They were working well, so there was nothing to complain about. They have a screen monitor that shows flight status. However, the lounge didn't offer any nice extras.
Why Aviator Lounge Wasn't a Good Choice?
To be honest, this lounge was a terrible choice. We can't recommend it to anyone. We didn't get a peaceful atmosphere there. The snack selection was too small, and the decorations were not relaxing. We recommend you choose another lounge at Copenhagen airport. The lounge may have been nicer before, but its best days have passed.
Lounges at Copenhagen Airpot
Copenhagen Airport has many lounges, so you do not need to enter the Aviator Lounge. We did a brief search of the departure lounges available at Copenhagen airport. And we found many options.
If you are an airline status card or a business class ticket holder, the airline will invite you to a lounge. Other people may prefer choosing their lounge from the following.
Schengen Lounges
| Aspire Lounge | About 22 Euros | Terminal 2 |
| Atelier Lounge | About 26 Euros | Terminal 2 |
| SAS Lounge | About 24 Euros (only for SAS passengers) | Terminal 3 |
In the Schengen area of terminals 2 and 3 we recommend you to go Aspire Lounge if you have Priority Pass, DragonPass or Diners Club memberships. If you are paying yourself in cash, Atelier Lounge could be your choice. We have not been there, but it looks fresh outside. We wished our cards would have given us access there.
Non-Schengen Lounges
| Eventyr Lounge | About 34 Euros | Terminal 3 |
| Primeclass Lounge | About 29 Euros | Terminal 3 |
In the non-Schengen area, we recommend Eventyr lounge if you are a holder of the said lounge membership cards. Other people can buy a discounted entrance voucher from Lounge Pass for 22 British Pounds (26 euros).
Primeclass lounge can also be accessed by Priority Pass and DragonPass.
There are many ways to access airport lounges.
- Infrequent travellers may book lounge visits on Lounge Pass.
- Frequent travellers may benefit from a lounge membership. Read our Priority Pass review.

Bottom Line
We were unhappy with our lounge visit this time. Luckily, Copenhagen Airport has many other lounges, and there must be better options. We recommend you to read our Priority Pass Review and also our analysis about DragonPass.
