Moments after reaching cruise, the crew came around with the Cloud Shop trolley. As usual, I opted for some freebie coffee & water, which SAS are so proud to serve.





Notice the cup? It's beautiful isn't it! In fact it's the winning entry of the 2012 Design a Cup contest. The name of the masterpiece is "Go To Gate" by designer Frida Axell. Proud winner of 100 000 EuroBonus extra points.


The reminder of this short flight was uneventful. I flicked through the September issue of Scanorama while listening to some tunes on my iPhone. A leg stretcher was made, without visiting the lavatorial facilities.




The flight today was roughly half full.




Soon we descend over the murky waters of Öresund.




Coming in short on finals at Kastrup.




Touchdown!


After a civilised de-boarding, I find myself in the packed terminal of Kastrup. I navigate through the endless crowds and the duty-free stores (which act more as bottlenecks to the flow of people) to the lounge.


SAS Scandinavian Lounge Kastrup





The warm and welcoming interior of the lounge.


I hit the buffet, and to my horror the food turns out to be the same as in ARN. Just leaves, and dry-cured bacon. Some leftover salmon paté was found in the corner, which I decide to settle for along with some leaves. But guess what, tiny pieces of thinly sliced pork belly are hidden between those leaves as well. Oh dear, I'm suffering from pork fat overload. Any more lard-o in my system and I'll be looking for a medical facility.

Still feeling hungry in need for carbs, I settle for some dark rye bread and cup noodles, or "made to order asian food". Nonetheless, the cup noodles did the trick well.

Feeling full, I moved my stuff over to the small private room in the "annex", where digestifs were consumed.




While the chairs weren't much comfy, I did enjoy the privacy and tranquility.




Coffee and Baileys, what else?


After 3 glasses of Baileys came the usual sleepiness, and one hour of light sleep was on the agenda. Waking up feeling slightly refreshed, I moved my stuff over to the "relaxing corner" where more alcoholic beverage was to be consumed.




Some Gin & Tonic, what else?
