The Aspire lounge at Copenhagen airport is one of the lesser lounges at the airport.
Aspire Lounge Copenhagen
During my trip past Helsinki, Istanbul and Tallinn, I have a transfer in Copenhagen. Copenhagen airport has a number of lounges – you can find reviews below – and one of the lounges is the Aspire Lounge, which I have access to with my Priority Pass.
The Aspire lounge is long and narrow, divided into several seating areas, and features a very small food corner. The selection is limited, as are the various seating areas. The lounge did not impress me from the start.
Access Aspire Lounge Copenhagen
You can enter the Aspire Lounge in several ways. You can do so by buying access, but also with memberships from Aspire itself, Priority Pass, DragonPass or Lounge Key, among others.
- Priority Pass
If you have a Priority Pass membership then you will get access to the Aspire Lounge. - Loungekey and DragonPass
Membership of Loungekey and DragonPass also gives you access. Although I haven’t seen DragonPass pass by before, LoungeKey is widely accepted. - Buy access
You can also buy separate access to the lounge. You will then pay 30 euros and get three hours of access to the lounge.
Location Aspire Lounge Copenhagen
The Aspire lounge is located in the same terminal as the Carlsberg lounge in the centre of all gates and around restaurants. Take the stairs to the first floor where you walk straight into the lounge, you can’t miss it.
Food and drink Aspire Lounge Copenhagen
The food and drink in the Aspire lounge is underwhelming. A small kitchen in the centre of the lounge features a half-empty basket of dry bread, there is casino white and dry salad that is anything but inviting. If I had bought access to the lounge, I would feel cheated.
Drinking is slightly better. The lounge has a soft drink dispenser, coffee and tea as well as wine and spirits.
Working at Copenhagen Airport
The Aspire lounge has a number of workstations and I get the feeling they have focused on this. There are desks by the window, a number of desks in the middle of the lounge and there are booths you can sit in.
Although the lounge is crowded, there is plenty of space available at the desks. In doing so, you can use the lounge’s or airport’s wifi network, or your own hotspot. Just make sure that if you use the public wifi network, you secure your connection with a VPN.
Shower & toilet Aspire Lounge Copenhagen
Unlike the Carlsberg lounge, which is also a Priority Pass lounge a little further down, the Aspire lounge does have its own toilets, although they are not much. Showers are not available in the lounge.
Conclusion Aspire Lounge Copenhagen
The Aspire lounge is a small – and especially crowded – lounge with mediocre food and little room to sit comfortably. If you are in possession of a Priority Pass or other way to enter the Carlsberg lounge, that is always the better choice.
Are you a Skyteam member and have status? Then I can recommend the SAS lounge.
