Thanks all.

I don't have a decent enough phone to use a mobile app, but in any event I gave the website based OLCI a go at around 32 hours to go...whilst in a meeting....and to my surprise it let me check-in!

Panicked for half a second when I thought all the seats were booked...but actually blue meant "available".

Got a window seat. ^ phew

Managed to mumble an answer to the question I was asked during the meeting too!

The flight was full though - so I do think it would have been a different story if I'd have waited until the official opening time.

I have to say though, I'm not sure I like this SAS Go and Plus routine. Not long after departure I was handed a paper cup with sugar and milk in readiness for a tea...I then had to balance this on my tray/laptop until the tea came, which wasn't until around 20 minutes before arrival...plenty of tea being poured up front but only the coffee seemed to make it to my room (row 8) during the initial part of the flight. Was feeling quite dry by then.
