Can I trust this: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/ln-rkp (saying that LN-RKP has been in CPH the last two days?). I am on A340 22/05 CPH-EWR, and my gut is having a sense that this will be operated by LN-RKP. This is how the seat map looks on expert flyer:



I cannot load the seat map on SAS which is perhaps they are just reallocating pax after equipment change?

My (expensive, IMHO) upgrade went through. I won't mind LN-RKP, as I need the flat bed. The freshness of the cabin is less important. But obviously I would enjoy the new cabin much more.

Certainly looks like LN-RKP. If you do not trust expert flyer, just book a dummy booking on the SAS website.

If you already have a booking and have EBG or higher status, you can select you seat under my bookings on the SAS web sites. This might not be possible if they are currently changing metal for the flight, but then it won't be possible during booking either.

Yep. This is what I tried (my bookings). We are ca. 42 hours before departure. The seat map for this flight does not load (other legs on the same reservation do load).

EDIT: Fassy, thanks for the tip with a dummy boking. highupinthesky, indeed it does not load either on a dummy booking. (NB. Holy cow! They do charge pretty for a 1-way to EWR on 2 day notice in C: 27.5 KDKK ).

Naaah... unhappy me. The first C class flight with SK ever. Well, at least I get the rare experience before it disappears

If you look above, with the right lawyer you will get a refund and an apology from the Danish royal family

I'll think about it when coming back. I need the basic points, and I need a lie-flat seat. I get both, and don't want these to be cancelled ...

What is row 9-10? Is there a mini cabin in C on LN-RKP?

Looks like KVS or Expertflyer.

That's true. When LN-RKP arrived it was stated to be a spare plane, but it's flying more often now than when it first arrived, so calling it a spare plane today is stretching it although SAS is viewing it as a spare plane.
This time however. It's an additional bird arriving and there are no additional routes scheduled before LN-RKP is put to rest once the first A350 arrives at the end of the summer schedule in about 3 months time. I'm therefore confident that we will see LN-RKP spending more time on the ground than in the air, unless SK want's to pull the last miles out of it, which I do doubt that will be the case.

Today the purser on SK909 announced that LN-RKP is retiring in July (through the PA system). "The lady" he called her
