Situated at Terminal B, the lounge features a large bar and work area, new serving area with a wide range of cold and hot dishes, which are served throughout the day.

Now stretching over an area of 440 square metres, there is a wide selection of US and European magazines, a secluded guest work space, more power sockets and more charging stations as well as free WiFi, check-in and reservations assistance.

The new SAS Scandinavian Airlines Lounge at Newark is designed with Scandinavian furniture and material.
