In general I would always take x-3-x over x-4-x or x-5-x (could be an option for A380 or 748 as far as I know) since in the worst case only one guy is climbing over you.
Had a couple of flights on LH380 on seat <whatever>D while the pax in <whatever>G was sleeping (or at least pretended to be) the pax in E and F always opted to move out through my side... of course never at the same time

I have never had the double excuse me in a 4 middle block. People usually disturb their aisle neighbours. Maybe I am just lucky.
My favourite 777 layout in economy is the 2-4-3. Allows more good options.

They will need to move the floor up in the A380 to gain a few centimeters as currently the floor is below the widest point of the barrel.
I'm not sure but I think I heard it about the 748 as well - perhaps just a market rumour.
2-4-3 is indeed a good option if you travel with family or friends in groups of different sizes.

While they do have sparkling wine (and IMHO a fair one, especially with OJ), isn't it some sort of violation to advertise other bubbly as champagne (at least in the EU)? Just another clarity issue. 
But, right next to it, there's this:
As a traveller in SAS PLUS you’ll be able to enjoy a hot dinner, a hot/cold snack or breakfast – depending on what time of day you’re flying. All drinks are included at all times. We can also offer you an in between service, when you can choose from a selection of snacks and sandwiches! (Service depending on destination and flight time. Café snacks are always available for purchase in the aft galley.)
Or why SAS Plus pax have to shell out even more cash once onboard in the first place.

Long Haul SAS Plus is now (truly) All Inclusive - Finally!
As mentioned by herro in this thread, Plus pax on long haul flights now "officially" receive complimentary drinks and snacks (including smoothies!!), just like on intra-Europe flights. 
They may have implemented this before now, but AFAIK, this is the first I've seen anything in print (from SAS).
The SAS July and August Entertainment Guide shows that the "Drinks and Snacks" menu is no more. The Go Menu highlights the first service and second service, and lists all the drink and snack options as before. Now, there is a dedicated Plus Menu on the last page, with the verbiage "Café snacks are always available for purchase in the aft galley" removed.
It's nice to know that you will no longer be asked to pay for a bag of crisps, nuts, or chocolate as a "premium economy" passenger.

SAS plus CPH - ORD - MSP return
First time experience with SAS.
SAS didn't manage to book the UA connection flights in premium economy, even booked and confirmed.
Complaint not answered after 4 weeks.
SAS will be a one time experience for me.

Not quite sure what you mean, but if you are referring to flying Economy+ on UA from ORD to MSP, that would not be part of partner bookings. E+ on United is not really Premium Economy, it is just extra legroom on the flight. It would need to be purchased additionally via united.com or obtained via a UA elite status.

Well, I just took a look at the intercontinental menu they have online, presumably the same one printed in the back of the shopping catalogue onboard. It does say "Plus All Included" in the purple box.
But, right next to it, there's this:
Bolding mine. So, it looks like the mid-flight sandwich/fruit service is the free "in between" service mentioned, while all other snacks are for purchase. It still doesn't explain the smoothie, unless that's considered a "snack" instead of a drink. Or why SAS Plus pax have to shell out even more cash once onboard in the first place.

For SAS Go:
During the flight, you can purchase other beverages, snacks and candy from our onboard menu.
Between meals, we also serve juice, water & snacks.
Then I check the intercontinental menu I can see online and SK does not mention SAS Plus at all.
And to top that in the Food & Shopping information SK states that
On our intercontinental flights, food, snacks & drinks are included in all booking classes (alcohol-free drinks in SAS Go). The selection & variety depends on the time of day you are flying & whether you're traveling in SAS Go or SAS Plus. In addition, you can also purchase drinks & snacks from our onboard menu.

Does anyone have a recent experience concerning this issue?
In the information about intercontinental flights SK states
For SAS Go:
For SAS Plus:
So it seems like they are for purchase in SAS Go but included in SAS Plus.
Then I check the intercontinental menu I can see online and SK does not mention SAS Plus at all.
And to top that in the Food & Shopping information SK states that
Now I am completely confused. So what is included onboard in SAS Plus?

When I flew Plus between NRT and CPH in August they had a sandwich and drinks round mid flight, plus they came through the cabin with snack baskets from time to time.

That is what I'd expect in premium economy so good to hear that it is also done that way now.

And you can go to the galley at any time for additional drinks - and a few select snacks. They will ask for your seat as they also server Economy/Go where they have to pay for it.
