Had my first SK-NEO flight today. Agree with others: only notable improvement as pax is the 5V power outlet. And the noise, especially during the take-off roll, is significant lower, though it has a howling tone. And well, the mood light.
I was disappointed, though not surprised, that the large forward toilet inside the cabin (from the 319/321) has been sacrificed –and instead we got the small version (next to the flight deck), where a normal male will have his hairstyle compromised when using the toilet standing.
And as stated: no monitors. The look of the cabin: conservative at best – boring, I think.
Didn’t notice if the aircraft had container capability.

I flew on a SAS A320neo this week. I was seated near the back of the plane. The cabin gave a sense of being less claustrophobic than the regular A320, probably due to a clever cabin design and thinner seats. I also liked the ambient lighting that was shown off to full effect on the CPH-LHR route, where the flag colours of the UK, Sweden and Denmark were shown.
I didn't really like the seats though. The seat squabs (the part your backside sits on) were very short, even for me who is short to begin with! I found the edge of the seat squab digging into the back of my upper thigh and it felt uncomfortable. I noticed taller people really struggled with the seat pitch and simply had no space to place their legs comfortably.
The improved air-con provided a slightly nicer cabin air quality.

For me it's still just another plane where me feet don't reach the floor and still have no WiFi. Haven't had the pleasure of the mood lighting yet. And given that I usually have the noise cancelling headphones in starting sometime after security all the way through getting in the door or check-in to where I'm staying, engine noise hasn't bothered me in a few years...

For the record: Two Neos are now based at CPH. Flew in one of them CPH-CDG-CPH last week (happily in the jump seat
)
The same day it did a FAE rotation and did TFS the next day.
One of the 'old' examples, delivered to STO 13 months a go as no. 3.

The Irish A32N seem to be LHR based: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/sas-sk-sas

I have a NEO quite a lot in and out of ARN. Like in my regular AGH-ARN, MMX-ARN or ARN-HEL Trips.
LN-RGM just gets deiced for SK716... Seems it be ARN based:

So what is leaving the system because of this? I see some B736 that used to do domestic SE retiring.... and some ex NO based B73G out of service.
