On my return journey from Europe, I flew out of Stockholm Arlanda International Airport on Finnair business class.
Before my flight, I had the opportunity to check out the American Express Pontus in the Air Lounge. This is one of the more unique lounge offerings that you can access with an American Express Platinum Card or American Express Business Platinum Card.
Technically, this is more of a small restaurant than a lounge per se, with American Express cardholders treated to a complimentary menu in a closed-off dining room.
Nonetheless, it’s still a nice additional perk here in Stockholm for simply being a Platinum cardholder, so let’s take a look at the experience.
American Express Pontus in the Air Lounge Stockholm – Access
The lounge is located after security, one level up from Terminal 5. Taking the stairs up to the mezzanine level, you can find it between the “A” and “F” gates, nestled amongst the shops at Stockholm Arlanda.
A staircase and elevator lead up to the restaurant and the lounge.
Once upstairs, to your left is a different restaurant called Monstro, and to your right is Pontus in the Air.
The lounge is inside the restaurant through a small passageway marked by a gold plaque labelled “American Express Lounge.”
The lounge is open daily from 5am to 6pm, except on Saturday, when it’s open from 5am to 5pm.
When you first enter the restaurant, a host will check your Amex card and boarding pass, and then show you towards your seat.
Access is granted to departing passengers with a Platinum Card, Business Platinum Card, or Centurion Card issued in any country. Centurion cardholders can bring in two guests, while Platinum cardholders can only bring in one guest.
