SAS or Continental if flying business (CPH-EWR)
When being a EBG member would you then recommend flying Continental C-class or stick with SAS C-class?
Upsides: - Lie flat bed - Approx. 50 % of the price of SAS C-Class (summer campaign) Downsides: - Less points (but anybody knows what you get for a Z class ticket on continental when being a EBG member?) - A little bit longer flight time (and the risk for a technical stop if strong head wind) Please share your comments |

http://www.flysas.com/en/EuroBonus/E...ntal-Airlines/ But half the price in combination with new business seats is a very convincing argument, isn't it? |
Hard product better on CO.
Soft product better on SK without a doubt. However for half the price on Co, this is a no brainer indeed. |
I do this route quite a lot.
Lounge access at CPH is the same. Lounges at EWR are different, but I prefer the CO lounges to the SK lounge at EWR even as the food/beverage selection at the SK EWR lounge is better than what CO offers. Fast-track security is not provided at CPH when flying CO, but it is provided when flying SK. Fast-track security at EWR is better with SK than with CO. Check-in at CPH is more consistently quicker for me with CO than with SK, but a fair amount of time is eaten up with CO by having to get myself from the SK terminal to the other terminal for CO at CPH. At EWR, check-in with SK is often quicker than with CO; however, given I'm usually connecting from DCA on my way to CPH -- I still avoid IAD -- check-in at EWR isn't an issue for me; that, or I check-in at EWR in the morning so I can go directly to the gate upon returning from Manhattan. Boarding process, a wash IMO; but at least with CO, more flexible cabin baggage practices. :D In-flight hard product -- I prefer CO now to SK. In-flight service -- I prefer SK. ... for half the price, I'd definitely pick CO. For any discount, I'd pick CO. In most programs, Z on CO mostly credits like full fare economy class tickets. However, if booking a Z fare with the UA/CO-operated flight marketed as a LH flight (for example), the UA/CO-operated flight connecting CPH with EWR may end up crediting as a J booking class flight. Given UA/CO's program doesn't charge fuel surcharges on mileage tickets, crediting the flights to UA/CO's program may make some sense if you plan to use them for a one-way ticket in Europe that would otherwise be expensive. If familiar with how fuel-dumping works for regular paid tickets, perhaps this will be of extraordinary use. :) |

On a TATL I will always prefer a widebody before a narrow, and most european carriers before any US. But, for half the price I would say ^

CPH-EWR doesn't get disrupted by that relative to SK equipment breakdowns. :D
