One of the highlights of flying out of Stockholm Arlanda Airport is the Menzies Aurora lounge in Terminal 2. I am not a big fan of third party lounges in general, as I find the airline branded lounges tend to be better in most ways.
However, when it comes to this particular lounge, I always look forward to hanging out there. There are a couple of reasons why, so read on to find out.
Menzies Aurora Lounge Food
Sweden does food pretty well, and the Menzies Aurora lounge does it very well indeed. There is always a decent selection of hot and cold food, with Swedish meatballs on offer during the day. At breakfast, the hot option is gorgeous pancakes.
What About The Rest?
My other go to is the Lingonberry drink that is dispensed on tap. It’s a soft drink and it’s lovely, so I always have a couple of those. They also have other soft drinks, wine on tap and beer as well.
Overall Thoughts
The Menzies Aurora Lounge in Terminal 2 at Arlanda is well worth a visit. You can either pay in, or it will be your facility if you fly business class on airlines such as British Airways.
Quite frankly it’s one of the nicer third party operated lounges I’ve been in. Perhaps it’s the living wall, perhaps it’s the food, but either way something about it is right up my street and no visit to Stockholm is complete without going here.
Have you been to this lounge before? What did you think? Have you been in a better third party lounge and which was it? Thank you for reading and if you have any comments or questions, please leave them below.

The Amex Platinum lounge in T5 is one of the best lounges I have been in. Not very big, but exceptional service… more like being in a cosy restaurant than an airport lounge.
Good to hear, I might have to see if I can get a flight from Arlanda T5 sometime to give it a try. Sounds like my kind of place. Thanks for the tip!
I’ve been to two lounges Menzies operates in Arlanda Terminal 5, and they are not exceptional (at least not in a good way). Odd seating, poor food, a bit dirty, gruff service. Not terrible, but definitely in the lower quartile of Priority Pass lounges I’ve visited.
I visited one of the ones in Terminal 5 at Arlanda and I agree, I didn’t think it was anything to write home about. The Terminal 2 one is much better than the one I visited in T5. Thanks for the comment!
