Confirmed new setup on A330 Business Class

The forward cabin will have 36 seats, one row must go. The rear cabin will disappear and become Economy Extra, so there will be many more Economy Extra seats

And yes, I'm calling it Economy Extra, because SAS changed the name BACK to E Extra instead of Economy Flex.

Confirmed new setup on A340 Business Class

The mini cabin will be kept Business Class on the 340.

My immediate thought is it will be much harder getting op ups on the trans Atlantic flight.

Any specific dates for the first conversions on both types of Airbuses? Any idea of which routes will go to the new seats first?
