Question SK CPH-PEK in 2006 - which aircraft?

Hello all,

Being relatively young, I only have access to a few years' worth of information to fill out my FlightMemory. I've therefore only got the most recent years registered and will have to be happy with that.

However, even in the recent years there are information gaps. Most importantly, I'm wondering which aircraft I would have used from CPH to PEK (and back) in March 2006?

All that I can recall is that I flew Business CPH-PEK and Eco-Extra PEK-CPH. CPH-PEK was one of the first SK planes with the then new lie-flat business seats, if I'm not mistaken (which I of course very well may be). It may not have been among the first, but it definitely had the lie-flat seats. Additionally, the flight had wi-fi via "Connexion by Boeing".

I'm guessing it had to be an A330 or A340 both ways - but I'm sure one of you will know exactly!

Should be an A340 since the A330s are only used on the Atlantic routes.

Yes, the A340, if i remember correctly the old longhaul 767 fleet was phased out in the late 90's or early 00's.
I remember my first flight on the new A340 EWR-CPH back in early 2002 ( i visited NYC a few months after 9/11 so it's easy to pinpoint that trip in time). Really was a nice trip (as i was upgraded to C).

The first A340 (SE-REA) was delivered to SAS 20 July 2001.

The last 767's left the fleet in 2004.

Definatly a 340, and if you have the dates, I may be able to dig up the tailnumbers ...

Back in 2002 I flew business from ORD-ARN. It was during summer holidays with plenty of free seats so I could practically move around as I wished in the cabin. There was one single seat in the middle row that I liked more than the other due to the privacy and the perfect location to the tv screen in the ceiling. Does anybody know which aircraft this was, and if there is any seat map available?

That would be great! And I do indeed have the dates. I'm quite certain they are:

07MAR06:
OSL-CPH-PEK
SK1471 - SK995

14MAR06:
PEK-CPH-OSL
SK996 - SK1472

That must have been a 767 - they had a 2-3-2 seat config (in economy), as well no personal AV system.
