Weird plane configuration CPH-ORD
Hi all, have a flight CPH-ORD-CPH in early April and just went in to double-check the seats the other day. Noticed that I had been moved from my pre-arranged seat - no worries there.
But then I noticed that the whole configuration was different than usual. Usually the M section on an SK A343 starts on row 23, and for a SK A333 (if they had an equipment switch) starts on row 20...
But on my flights on April 3rd (outbound) and April 8th (inbound) the M section starts on row 16. Emergency exits at row 24 (usually on row 31).
Anyone knows of an equipment switch - the SAS chat had no knowledge about this when I asked there...?

It's the new A340 that is coming from LAN Airlines that is expected to enter service later this month that is on your flights. The config is a little bit different than SAS and I don't think there is any official seat map published yet but it has pretty much retained the LAN layout

Ex. CC-CQG cabin photos. SAS keeps this configuration, so no PLUS cabin.

Hmmm, won't that be very hard for the fleet management and ticket sales?
You certainly don't want to downgrade a full Plus cabin to Go and pay compensation. On the other side how can they predict which routes on which day this aircraft will fly on the next 330 days?
I guess it should be cheaper to remove two or three Go rows to free up some space for Plus. The seat is the same anyway, they just need to move it a couple of cm.
