Ok. Imho, I can still find something I like. Even if the box is boring/bad/bland. There is a sandwich option or two. Or a dull pizza. Or some snacks.
I prefer airlines to go local on food. I think showcasing local food is the right way to go, but clearly a balance. I do agree that the taste is very Swedish, but overall I just lack an example of a European flexible economy product that is higher quality and / or better range of choice.
Long-haul
...main problem here is how bloody long it takes to serve a few courses...disappointments...salmon... price quality
Won't comment too much on price. Connecting flights are always less expensive than direct ones. On a like for like basis I find that a direct lhr-NYC with BA in J is usually more expensive than Sas CPH-EWR. The same flight with BA drops to half price if I start the trip in CPH. It is just the nature of airline pricing and imho a different topic than the food quality.
I have not had the joy of the salmon. I have probably been lucky but can we please see some pictures of the brick?
In a j to j comparison I would take SAS food over BA any day of the week. Clearly I would prefer BA F to SAS J.
