And? Any interesting observations regarding the plane?

I am not very knowledgable about planes but there was an article in the travellers magazine which I read.
According to this there was more legroom which I did observe.
Nice greyish seats, supposedly softer and more comfortable - I didn't notice a difference on such a short flight.
An USB port for each seat.
Everything was (obviously) very new looking and clean.
On take-off and landing there was quite a lot of rattling noise from the front - like the serving carts and other stuff weren't secured properly.
Add: Very smooth landing but that must have been a coincidence.

Neat, how about power?

I have an itinerary which involves the A320NEO booked for later this month in Plus. Will make pictures and report if there is anything worthwhile.

Doesn't look like it has 230V (or 110V either):

WiFi from 2017 apparently.

Looks very light on padding, i.e. just a slightly modernised standard European hard Recaro, although they do claim "Seats are equipped with comfort cushions".

No power outlet as far as I could see.

They are limited to 2.1A, so you get about 10W. Good enough to charge a phone or a tablet, but not much more.

I meant no normal power socket - like for a normal plug like I have for my phone charger.

The aircraft seems to operated with serious delays recently. SK1420 to ARN is 2 hours late today. No ARN-HKG flight today, but if this was on a day where SK963 to HKG is operated, most/all pax from CPH would not have made the ARN transfer

In case you missed it there has been severe showfall in Stockholm the last few days and the entire city was more or less paralyzed yesterday...

On that note:
I did miss that, just now received warning emails about the weather (from my mother).

How well does ARN cope with snow?

I'm flying to CPH via ARN tomorrow and would really appreciate getting home as I'm flying out again Sunday morning (also via ARN)......

ARN copes well with snow (and de-icing). The problem is the massive lack of infrastructure in Stockholm and the fact that for the majority of people living there snow continues to be a surprise every year. Even if it is announced well in advance.

If you are just transferring at the airport, you shouldn't really notice much.

I am only transferring in ARN.
Am in Italy at the moment and didn't realize that winter has arrived in Scandinavia........

My transfer Friday evening went well, no weather problems.
Flew the new plane again this morning - no delay.
Had a good look around inside the plane again and I really like the grey colour scheme.
I'm not sure but it seemed to me that the aisle seats have a broader space for the feet but it could be normal for airbus in general - I often fly smaller planes.
