First time flying SAS Economy - ORD->CPH->LHR
It's my first time flying SAS basic economy and I was curious how is it? How does it compare to United coach or other carriers like Swiss? Any tips I should know?

The hard product is good: 2-4-2 layout means you will have a greater chance scoring either an asile seat or a window seat. I have always had good luck out of EWR bound for CPH, with the last round trip getting rows 20 and 30 windows at check-in (too cheap to pay for seats). Unbelievable legroom in those eats.
Soft product: hit and miss in my opinion.
Overall, SAS.coach > UA coach.

Just a tip that SK currently has a summer campaign for upgrades, lowering the minimum bid you have to put in. I'd recommend it for the added comfort and food offered onboard:

If you are used to UA domestic flights you will be pleased with your SK flight ORD-CPH. The CPH-LHR leg will be nothing to report about; just another 2 hour flight to get you to your destination.
As Star Alliance Gold you will be pleased with the SK lounges at ORD and CPH so the lack of service/meal on the CPH-LHR leg will bo no issue.

As UA S and *G we prefer UA>SK.
