Why dont they use their A321 then? DY is using a B738 on the same route!
I wonder how their BKK route is doing? All the report I read on the forums tells that the plane is full in all classes. I would be surprised if thats not good enough!
What would it take for SAS to put back in service the 2 340's they took out last year? LAX/SFO would have been cool!
MNL could also be an interesting destination. AF is the only carrier offering non-stop route from Europe to MNL. SAS have the possibility to be the only Star Alliance carrier to offer direct flights to MNL. That could open for feeder flights from several european countries witch prefer StarA flights. Just a thought!^

Well, it's actually KL (nevermind). I have though of this myself, but I don't think it is sustainable as MNL is very low yield. The flight would also be quite long and would relatively to the fleet size require a big share of the equipment resources. I think the fleet could be utilized somewhat better to ie HKG or ICN or perhaps PVG again.
Regarding use of an A321 to DBX, I simply think it would be lacking range. Their A319 should be able to do it though.
