I have heard some bad stories about ground staff not honoring the special service request, etc. I was wondering if any of you have experience with such matters?

And what is the SAS E+ seating like? Sadly, you must travel in E with pets. I have not been on such a long flight in E for many years...

Thanks much!
First of all you have to make sure that you have "booked" space for the pet in cabin - SAS allow for two pets in the cabin, on a first come first serve basis.

I usually book long in advance to ensure that my pet is allowed on. Then call to get a confirmation, and get the name of the person you are speaking to.

At the airport, you pay the pet fee 100USD or 200USD I can't recall.

Pets are only allowed in E and E extra

Seating:
E XX XXXX XX
E extra XX XXX XX

Have a great trip.

I usually give the pets very little food/water prior to the flight, and sometimes some meds to make the trip easier on the pet.

We have a Pomeranian, Wilbur, and he is a frequent flier by now.

Cheers,
Christian
