Und mehr ordnung muss mehr sein :-D

Only a shame that I will not get my quota to stay a EBG. End this april.

Yeah, they sure did listen by publicly announcing the changes today

Well, what can I say?

Tried SAS IC in Y for the first time a bit over a week ago, and was very satisfied. Nothing special, except a very nice crew, that seemed like they really enjoyed their job, and that made me enjoy the flight as well. Also, SAS is one of quite few airlines to offer a premium economy service, and I really enjoyed the bigger seat, where I can sit next to someone without feeling uncomfortable (I'm slightly overweight..). Upgraded with miles to C on the return (CPH-SEA/SEA-CPH), and really enjoyed that as well (though I must admit, I was more impressed with the step up from M to Y, than the one from Y to C).

All in all, I've always been very satisfied as a passenger on SAS IC flights, and in all three classes.

I've got one thing: The interlinking of luggage on separate bookings is back! Confirmed as working 30min ago when SAS-ARN checked my bags for ARN-LHR-SIN-SYD. This saves me so much hassle at LHR. Also, on a day like this, I made sure the lady at the desk understood how much I appreciate this, and I believe it's a great service from SAS.

It occurs to me that there seems to be quite a lot of nice things to say about SAS, while ever fewer positive things to say about EuroBonus.

The thing is, since EuroBonus is such a fake, it reflects poorly on SAS too.

(My praise: while being AC *G was given op-upgrades several times flying CPH-North America.)

I think the sista minuten (last minute) tickets for domestic Swe flights are a great idea. I've used them enough to seriously appreciate them. ^

Not sure if I should start a new thread...

I haven't flown on SK in years and would like to know how their long-haul C (SK972 BKK-CPH in particular) compares to LH, LX, SQ, TG, NH, in terms of food & drinks, PTV, service. SK's website doesn't show a lot of details, no sample menus, no movie listing, not even a seatmap for A343 (just one for A333)...

The seat looks like the standard angled lie-flat and seems comparable to J on my comparison list, except for SQ's new C on their A380 & 77W.

Also, I'll have a 10-hour layover at CPH before my onward CPH-GVA flight. I assume I can shower and eat at the lounge and then leave the airport to explore downtown for a few hours. Is their C lounge fairly standard for Europe?

There is some information on SAS's homepage:

Just click on the images. (You might have found it in your search, but thought I would post it anyways.)
Here is a link to SAS's Entertainment magazine:

I am not that experienced with airport lounges, but I have visited some around the world at major airports and I have to say that the lounge i CPH is the best I have experienced so fare.

I would consider myself lucky with a 10 hour call at CPH!

You could explore CPH for 9 hours or so. Arriving at T3 you will only be a 14 minute Metro ride from Kongens Nytorv, which is very much at the heart of CPH.

When I used to fly this joke of an airline, I did very much like row 20/21 on the Mad Dogs. The Steak in C was pretty tasty too for being airline food.

When I was under 26, the super cheap Domestic returns between ARN and MMX where appreciated too. I can also remember as an unaccompanied minor being very well taken care off by the crew ^


Alas, this was all in the past. Today I despise SK and avoid them like the plague.

I think it is considered to be above average, and big enough to not get crowded.

The C-lounges have a nice Scandinavian ambience, free wifi and good reading but their food offerings can be really poor and drinks are limited to wine/beer (except LHR). For better food and drinks you need status to get into their Scandinavian lounges.

What do you mean by C-lounges vs. Scandinavian lounges? If I'm Star Gold and flying SK in C, connecting from longhaul to intra-Europe, which one do I have access to at CPH? The SK lounge?

SAS has two lounges in CPH, one on top of the other. The Business lounge is downstairs, and the Scandinavian lounge is upstairs. Since you are *G, you can use either - but the Scandinavian lounge upstairs is better.

Which kinda disqualifies your opinion as you haven't flown them recently?
