Breakfast in plus to MXP ex Oslo earlier this week. It looks very very similar to the box that used to be handed out in domestic economy on morning flights till a few years ago... I had to ask for a napkin to keep the bread on.

At least on my routes, the prices for SAS PLUS tickets are comparable to what it cost to fly economy when such boxes were a norm. So this is not very surprising ... although it does look quite sad

oliver2002

I'm somewhat confused though... the cube is supposedly this brilliant design idea that gives the plus customers an innovative culinary experience and at the same time allows SK to stow 16 meals in the space previously taken by 3-4 trays. Yet for breakfast they are OK with relatively big boxes?

Apparently breakfast does not box'ify very well...

Though compared to trays, these boxes are also fairly compact

I had my first experience of cubes recently and was not very impressed, not simply because the offering was chicken and turkey neither of which I like. Since the pieces of chicken and turkey looked a little dry I was happy just to eat the accompanying 'salad' but can't they give us something a little less "innovative"?

How did you like the rye and buckthorn sprinkles?

NewbieRunner

Better than the browned goat cheese sprinkles from Skärvångens Bymejeri.

Peter Lawrance who was involved in the launch and creation of the cubes is moving to BA so maybe SAS will go back to offering a more normal kind of food not using every ingredient they can find in Scandinavia.

oliver2002

A number of Designit people have left too, I'm assuming because Wipro acquired it. The cube is a headliner for its website:

Reminds me of the ' Everything Is Awesome ' song from the Lego Movie.

Choice? What choice? Eat it or don't? That's a choice? I have like 7 clickable options on BA flights...

(I will laugh of they try to Cube-ify BA meals)

CPH-Flyer

7? That seems an awful lot compared to last a flew BA. I recall that as eat it or don't, which was a clear don't from LHR to VIE Luckily the QF gin bar had put me in a tolerant mood before the flight.
