Pre-ordering Premium Menus On Long Haul SAS Go Flights
To many people’s concern, Airlines nowadays are looking at every possible to bring in more revenue, thus SAS has now introduced another “improved” service on their long haul intercontinental routes to US and Asia.
SAS now gives SAS Go travelers the chance to upgrade their dining experience by pre-ordering premium menus on long haul flights. Aiming to further enhance the personalisation of the airlines’ on-board experience, the initiative is also in line with the development of the next generation of traveling and a part of SAS’s environmental and sustainability work. We believe true travelers wish to add that little extra element to their flying experience. Therefore, SAS now introduces the possibility to enhance the dining experience on board, also when traveling in SAS Go. Starting from November 2018, SAS Go travelers on long haul flights can pre-order a premium menu to upgrade and enhance their dining experience. Starting from November, four options will be offered at the price starting from SEK 190 / NOK 190 /DKK 150 / EUR 19 / USD 23. https://i2.wp.com/albertaviation.com...77&h=869&ssl=1 https://i1.wp.com/albertaviation.com...35&h=433&ssl=1 https://i1.wp.com/albertaviation.com...35&h=432&ssl=1 https://i1.wp.com/albertaviation.com...6&h=1305&ssl=1 You may access their menu details as a PDF file here.Conclusion: Well this is great news for many SAS travellers who has a bone to pick with their catering, since the price to pay here is very reasonable, I would not be surprised if this become very popular among SAS long-haul passengers. However, there are certain drawbacks on ordering such service:

While I do see some advantage in this, I always worry that it is a step towards going full BOB.

The small princessatarta reminds me of the ones from IKEA. |
Looking forward to trying this program ! I hope they will add a BREAKFAST option for flights back to Scandinavia in the future.

The drink and the coffee should. :p It also says that 2 drinks of choice are included. Does that mean Beer and Wine? It doesn't say they aren't included.

That is totally hilarious, make the standard food so terrible that nobody eats it and then charge people for something edible. Or is it? The pictures look like a continuation of the same terrible Scandi food meal concept which by itself is the problem. Why can't I order a grilled cheese, burger or a steak or something normal?
I'm seeing a large amount of new lows for SAS, its great that I barely have to fly them these days. |

Fairly exact description of the concept. It must be rather high margin for SK, can't cost much to make these meals.
BA did it as well from a while back.... BA tried to justify the cost by telling everyone that it's M&S food. |

The cake is like 19 SEK in Ikea, and the tray of salad is like the crappy UA one with some special mushrooms in it. The juice is some kind of cheap Rynkeby juice that's not even that nice. How on earth can they charge 190 for this?

I haven’t flown SK Y long haul since 1993 as they’re garbage, but I seem to remember one of my big gripes being the lack of choice. Even in the mid-eighties, other airlines offered “beef or chicken”, while SK in 93 offered “beef with rice” followed by “beef with noodle”. At least they included drinks back then. |

Uh... Why don't they start by actually offering a premium dining menu for SAS Plus, which is, you know, their Premium Economy cabin? :confused: The stupid (not to mention, very wasteful) boxes are bad enough on short-haul flights, but plating SAS Go food on china in long-haul Plus isn't exactly an "enhanced" dining experience, either. I'm all for improving the Economy Class experience, but premium cabins should still actually feel, well, premium. :p

It is sad to say, but the current long haul Plus meals are quite an upgrade compared to Go Especially the second meal on the Asia routes. I think one of the options for the main course for the first meal is the same as Go, but the rest is a good deal better than Go. Not premium by far, but then again I have yet to see a premium economy meal long haul that was actually "premium dining"
