I was thinking of booking on SAS for transatlantic this June so I could experience the new cabins. I'd be absolutely furious if I got switched to a normal business class plane. I don't fly until June but these accounts make me nervous. Should I be looking elsewhere?

Just noticed that you are flying in June. By then only LN-RKP is in operation without the new SK cabin, but that is the old LAN config, so business class is still full flat.
The likelyhood of getting LN-RKP I would probaly the least on LAX, followed by SFO and IAD. But no more slanted by then....

SK944 ORD-CPH cancelled for today 26 mar
Just looked, and my flight SK944 ORD-CPH is cancelled for today. Anyone know why? The seat map changed two days ago from a A330 to LN-RKP, and then back to an A330 again yesterday.

Why does it seem like SAS more frequently has technical problems on more of my long-haul TATL flights than any other carrier? It's not like SAS is even my most frequently used carrier for TATL travel.

SAS seems to really be competing with Norwegian.

While SK may have in periods equal amount of tech issues as as DY, at least they don't leave passengers waiting for 72 hours for a flight that they keep delaying gradually.

Cancellations happen, usually SK rebooks ahead of the flight. I've had cancellations where I got to my destination earlier than originally planned on the reroute. One of the few things SK does actually handle well.
With DY you should prepare for getting stranded somewhere for a few days without any support. Hardly a good comparison.
