Advice Needed: SAS A330 Business Class
I'll be flying EWR - OSL on one of SAS' newly refurbished A330s in late February. I'm currently seated in 4D. Only one window seat (albeit an aisle window seat) is available - 1A. Does anyone here have experience with the new product? What are the pros / cons of each seat as you see it?

Edit: I'm also flying OSL - LYR on business class tickets. I'm aware that these flights (serviced by 737s) don't have any business class section. However, is there any service difference for business class pax on these flights?

You will get free items from the buy on board menu, IME the direct flight OSL-LYR is treated as a european flight service-wise but the flights with a stop in TOS are intranordic. This could have changed recently to the worse though...

In terms of 1A on the A330, what's the noise level like?

The Plus rows (the section you sit in on a connecting flight from J) are at the front. On some busy morning departures between Stockholm and Copenhagen that may indeed stretch to emergency exit rows, but most of the time it ends before. (J is an inaccurate description, Y+ is somewhat more accurate.)
