UA needs to wake up and smell the coffee since SAS for sure is in a coma. Why are there 2 SK flights to ORD every day? Because it's UAs biggest hub!
I'm positive OSL-ORD will be a goldmine!

I've been on CO 38/39 four times. Twice I had the exit row for myself and slept like a baby!

Any airline where you get a 3 seater to yourself will be comfortable, but to use a single aisle plane for such a long flight, is not very comfortable unless there are many premium seats, like UAs PS service LAX/SFO-JFK.
A full CO flight (and most flights out of Scandinavia are) must be horrible.
156 seats in Economy and only 16 business seats:

You are right... I have had a packed route in Y OSL-EWR-SEA with layover in EWR before I was ST Elite Plus. It was not really comfortable at all. I try to use KL to AMS and CO from there if I go to a CO hub to get the 767, and NW to SEA.
Wouldn't United Airlines possibly make use of a flight to OSL rather than SAS doing it the other way? Or would that be infringement on SKs territory?

What's up with this talk about EWR and MSP and things like that? What we need is for SQ to reinstante the minihub it had in AMS, and move it up north. SIN-OSL-ORD/IAD/DEN would make perfect sense. In my head at least, but then I'm a PPS.

Yeah, the DC-10 or the 747-200 are lovely planes who attract many business travelers
And there are about a million Eurobonus members in Norway, about 150 Skyteam

SQ only uses the 744 to Europe, so there's an upgrade available.... But the cocpit would still be ahead of you in "lowly C"
