I think the reason SAS put out large servings is a combination of two things: they are understaffed (and have been for long time) and too many people have access these days.
Regarding the cheese wheel, I agree with Tango Alpha that it is not to do with the temperature, but with how people use it. I am not a cheese person, so would not know whether it should be served cold or room temperature though

To steer the conversation a little bit back: I found a nice location on https://www.airportsdata.net/europe/...comodation.php but I cant exactly determine where I need to go to find these purple chairs on the photo. Anyone who knows where this is?

Hi all, having read the thread I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but anyway...
I am flying PEK-MAN this summer and SAS is coming up the cheapest, with CX next about 500e more. The direct HU option is a little bit more than I want to pay.
The SAS flight has a 13hr connection starting at 18.30 and it seems there is no airside hotel or 24hr lounge available. I am travelling with my six year old daughter who has a Chinese passport and arranging a Schengen just for an overnight transit would be a PITA.
My daughter is pretty low maintenance but I'm imagining trying to do an overnight airside would be a pretty miserable experience?

I'm not sure if you yourself are a Chinese citizen, or if you're a British citizen. In case you are a British citizen, your daughter basically has the right to enter any EU country together with you as long as the UK is an EU member, and it's very easy to get the visa. You only need a document proving that she's your daughter. If I were you, I'd go to the Danish embassy as soon as possible (before Brexit has been completed), and apply for a Schengen visa for her with as long validity as possible. I'm not sure about the exact rules, but you may possibly be able to get a one-year multi entry Schengen visa for her (assuming that you are a UK citizen, of course).

Thanks for the responses!
Yes I'm a British passport holder, so I might be needing a visa myself by then....
She has had Schengen visas before through the French embassy, as you say very easy and done within a couple of days. Bit worried about timescales though as she needs a new passport and then a new UK certificate of entitlement which are unfortunately not processed in such an efficient manner.
On the way back there is an 8hr daytime layover, would this leave enough time to get into the city and spend a few hours at Tivoli?

However, in your situation, I would definitely apply for a Schengen visa for my daughter before Brexit takes place, irrespective of what airline and transfer airport you will be using.

Take the regional train (DSB Re). Don't take the metro as it doesn't stop outside Tivoli.
Buy a train ticket in the vending machine at the station for 36 kr per direction (for adults).
