Have had the problem with BA numerous times because everyone orders the steak. Sitting at the front of the Club World cabin there is more important.
In both cases an easily solved and avoided issue if you could simply select your main course before the flight.

On BA the service standard is to collect the orders in the galley and prioritise according to status... but yes, pre-order is the way to go there.

The replies might have been a bit unclear in that aspect, but the pre ordering was wishful thinking for SAS, and BA for that matter. But general agreement was that it is very rarely an issue.

haha silly me! I'm terrible at interpreting messages sometimes. thanks for all the advice, I have taken 6A for the outbound and 2A for the inbound as I would like the seat closest to the window. The first flight from MAN-CPH is on a CRJ900 (yippee...), I know it's a short flight but any advice on the best seat on this aircraft? I like to get the best out of my travels 
thanks a lot

If not in the front row, there's no real difference.

If you're happy with a front row seat, your choices are 1AC or 2DF. The legroom is broadly similar, maybe a little bit more in 2DF. I think 2F is more private, and has two windows (if I recall correctly) while 1A has just the one.

Yes, there's still a forward lavatory. I'm not sure how the space is used differently.
For what it's worth, here are the seatmaps from ExpertFlyer for SK709 (HEL-ARN, Cityjet CR9) and SK647 (CPH-HAM, Cimber CR9). Looks like 2DF are the only extra seats on the WX plane, and I think they still have good legroom, so the way things are laid out has clearly been altered a bit.

SAS Plus A330 Row 20
We recently flew in SAS Plus from Chicago to Stockholm on an A330. I spent a lot of time trying to find information on Row 20 specifically and found information hard to come by. So I put together a short video that may help others.
