This is actually important because on shorthaul Plus the crew seem to simply hand out the box meals and absolutely do not tell you about the option of ordering from the menu. I flew SK a lot a few years ago before the box meal concept was launched and then started flying them again since this year and was surprised to see no mention by the crew of being able to order from the menu.

Hmm, usually I'm not known for defending the regular miserable service on SK flights... but the last few months I was always offered to freely pick from the cart when i rejected the cube an polar roll.

Exactly my experience. I usually order freely from the menu the item appearing to be (more) edible.

Another (good) thing with SAS Plus intra-Europe is that you get free access to Star Alliance lounges regardless of which status you otherwise have with Star Alliance, i.e. at FRA you can enter the Lufthansa Business lounge with a boarding pass for a flight with SAS in Plus.

The one thing I really do appreciate with Plus on the European routes, is the price for full flexibilities. Compared to other airlines it is usually a lot cheaper to get a fully flexible ticket. And the flexibility is absolutely no nonsense. I have cancelled the fist leg on a ticket, but kept the rest in place without any problems. Only slightly annoying part, from second change of a flight, you will always have to call.

Sadly, I didn’t realize all of this until more than 24 hours after I purchased the ticket through United. I called today, asking to switch to a Lufthansa flight 50 mins later (hey, it’s still Y seats, but at least the middle seat is blocked and I like their C meals) and I’ve missed the window to switch. Besides, SAS/Plus codes as business class in the UA system, so she wouldn’t buy my please that it’s only an upgraded Y.

Intraeurope SAS Plus question
Hi,
Fist time using SAS so total newbe
Planning to fly Hannover to Stockholm (45m connection in Copenhagen) next year and as the regular ticket was $250 I just got the SAS Plus for $100 more as lounge access and being fed on the plane is always nice and it might make the 45m connection easier (as we sit closer to the exit.
It stated "cancellable" fare and it looked to me that beside a 30 krona deduction I get all my money back if I want to cancel it (maybe the $ goes down from now to next summer etc.). Is that correct? Is it that easy and no nasty surprises? Please let me know as I am still inide teh 24h window if the "cancellable" fare turns out to be less that I thought.

Read it somewhere ... might have mentally put it into the wrong bucket (not getting younger)
Getting everything back works as then I can lock in the price now and cancel rebook .... as needed.
