The problem with CO is that it's not a flat bed, it's on a 757, the mile will go to waste, but it is direct. With SK I've got an almost flat bed, double miles, know what to expect in terms of service, AVOD etc.
Any views on whether it's better to stick to SK or take a punt on a direct flight with CO?
I have never flown CO EWR-OSL, simply because I am satisfied with SK, especially in J. Maybe I have been unlucky, but I have never been satisfied with an American carrier when I compare to SK (exept for milage earning).
OT: If you wnat to maximise milage you could transfer at ARN instead of CPH; however, there is no shower at ARN. Last time I tranferred at CPH from EWR on my way to Oslo. There were incoming aircrafts from 2xBKK and SIN so very crowded at security.
