Hello fellow members...

I have a scheduled flight from Helsingfors (HEL Finland) to Houston (IAH Texas) and back, with two stops in Stockholm (ARN Sverige) and Chicago (ORD Illinois)... Unfortunately for me, I didn't check in forums like this before booking, and now only after I have done it, kind of realised that wasn't the best move.

Yes, it was the cheapest flight I found, so I was kind of preparing myself before reading anything that it wouldn't be something fancy... However now I have been growing anxious at the perspective of flying with them, so I would kindly appreciate comments and recommendations for when the day comes.

Two things that I have already prepared myself is the fact that the seats will be uncomfortable (even tho I did paid extra to be able to select my seat [right behind of the extra leg room]) and that after passing security and before boarding, I should take some meal replacement bars due to how poor the service is (only one tray for PLUS and Go classes). However, just recently was checking one other review site and SAS gets an even share of bad and good reviews... so please, leave a comment if you have travel long haul with SAS (even more if you have travel to some of my stops with them)...

I was reading just yesterday that in every stop, I should get my checked baggage by myself, since they don't transport them from one flight to the other... any of you know if this is true?

Sorry for the long post and hope someone will reply!

Cheers!

this isn't really a flight review site. but check out the forum dedicated to SAS and feel free to ask specific questions there

Welcome to FT!

Flying in economy is never going to be special, no matter what airline you choose. I don't think you'll have had much luck buying a business class ticket for less than what you paid for economy fare, even with all the great insight here. You could have cut one stop out of your journey by flying via London or Frankfurt, for example, but that's about it.

As far as luggage goes, if your trip is all on one ticket, you won't have to re-check it along the way. The exception to this is in Chicago. As this is your first port of entry to the USA, you'll go through immigration/passport control, and then pick up your suitcase(s) from the belt, then drop them off immediately at the re-check desk. It will already be tagged for IAH.

It's not?

No. Flyertalk is not dedicated to reviews of specific flights with the details of them. More specifcally, Information Desk is not the place to discuss them. As is noted in the START HERE sticky: "If your question involves…One specific airline or its mileage program - go to the Airlines and Mileage Programs index." If the OP has specific questions about SAS, he should review the SAS forum. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/sas-eurobonus-499/. The closest place to "reviews" is Trip Reports: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-reports-177/

The OP references "one other review site and SAS gets an even share of bad and good reviews... ". Those "other review sites" are quite different - see, e.g., http://www.edreams.com/offers/flight...itish-airways/ , , http://www.airlinequality.com/airlin...unei-airlines/

If you want to be contrary as usual, go ahead, but there is no way you can with a straight face say that Flyertalk is designed to be like those "other review sites", though it has become an all-purpose place for anyone with any question about anything remotely travel related to come to instead of google.

If he wants to review detailed impressions of flights, he can scan the trip report forum. But these are not the same as "flight reviews".

Whoa, did you miss the ?
