Anyway, most other airlines in Europe already offer such 'service' to their customers. I flew with Austrian yesterday (from ORD) and they wanted 100 dollar for a single leg in a preferred seat (or 878 dollar for an upgrade to business). That seat wasn't even available for free to SEN or *G, and it was so close to the toilets that your Do & Co meal changed into tasting like Poo & Co.
I also flew with Air Canada recently. They also wanted a few bucks extra on some of those 'preferred' seats.
The bad thing about this deal is that those seats become available for everyone as soon as check in opens. Ergo: you may save yourself (or your family) hundreds of Kroners by just being the first to check in.

Simply not true. SAS made black numbers last quarter and even though they claim to offer loads of 'included' services, they actually don't offer them. Fast track for EBG or respecting priority luggage labels, for starters. This just shows that SAS is in fact offering a hollow shell.
