A friend living in Denmark tells me that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is expected to issue updates to some rules tomorrow, extending the recommendation not to travel to the U.S. Based on that, she thinks a claim can result in a refund for her flight in a week that hasn’t been cancelled. That’s news to me, given it’s not the airline’s responsibility whether you can enter your destination country. Or might she have a chance?

Airlines have been linient with rebookings needed base on travel restrictions based on Covid-19, but it is a curtesy policy as far as I know. Not sure what SK does, but my home carrier JAL has that as cause gĝr free rebooking or cancellation.

I was wondering the same -- flew SK935 CPH-SFO last week. Full drink service available, but meal is on a single tray, akin to what one used to receive in SAS Plus. Choice between salmon or chicken -- portion sizes were small. Prior to arrival, a cold lunch was served. Definitely better than TK but if you're looking for a true J experience right now, I'd go with LH/LX/OS/SN who have basically full pre-covid service.

That's helpful, thanks for sharing. I just flew LH418 FRA-IAD last week and the service and food were terrible in J. No pre-departure drink and the food was the same as economy. Flew LX ZRH-JFK in July, however, and it was fantastic in all respects.

Same food as economy? Sounds strange.

SAS is re-starting up its China service. Let's see how long it takes before SAS gets around to restarting up some more US service too.

Any news on when SAS is planning to reopen the Stockholm to Newark route?

Do you have some positive confirmation on this, is it the CPT-PVG or ARN-PEK, or both?

I'll let someone who knows more answer re: restarting, but there is no flight ARN-PEK - the China flights are all ex CPH unless something has changed in recent months.

SAS is restarting flights to Shanghai, as they have now gotten Chinese government approval to fly to Shanghai again. SAS has greater business travel and cargo demand for Shanghai than for Beijing. And IIRC demand for travel to China has been greater from/via CPH than from/via ARN. Put all of that together and the flight route being restarted would be presumed by me to be CPH-PVG.

SAS bailed out of all service to China at the end of January.

Here´s the press announcement: https://www.sasgroup.net/newsroom/pr...o-china-again/

It´s CH-PVG.

At least the SAS routes of greatest relevance to me seem to currently have very good transatlantic award space availability in business class using partner airline program miles.

Did SAS kill the Miami route completely? I can't seem to find any scheduled flights...

Sorry to bump an old post, but did you receive a pre-departure beverage? I am flying EWR-CPH soon so I'd like to know.

From the pic, it does look like the mains and starters are back to normal but are served on one tray.
