"seats with direct aisle access"

(Austria)

Verified Review | Stockholm to Chicago. After a fast and efficient boarding process the plane took off on time. Two FAs dressed as chefs were in charge of the meals which deserved at least one Michelin star. Fresh vegetables and fruits, perfect meat and a gorgeous presentation, accomanied by fine wines, made dining a pleasure. Moreover, the treatment of the cabin crew made me feel like at home. The wifi connection worked well compared to other transatlantic flights. The new business class has all seats with direct aisle access and staff handed out thin mattresses for the seats which helped me to sleep well. I landed refreshed in Chicago and was looking forward to my return flight with SAS.

"SAS said we have to buy new tickets"

(United States)

The first trip from Los-Angeles to Stockholm-Arlanda was flawless. New airplane, usual service. Two weeks later we stuck in traffic in Stockholm and arrived 20 minute before start. The staff said it's too late and SAS staff said we have to buy new tickets. Further they said we have to pay 2600 for two tickets, twice the booking price. Luckily we checked prices offered by Norwegian Airline and got two tickets for 1300.

"a very pleasant trip with them"

(Italy)

Verified Review | I flew SAS for the very first time (Copenhagen to Milan) as the last segment of my return trip from USA to Italy with Icelandair (indeed it was a code share flight): everything went smoothly and I had a very pleasant trip with them. Upon landing in CPH at dawn coming from Iceland, I walked to the Service Desk where I got my boarding pass within minutes, then enjoyed the very pleasant Kastrup airport before proceeding to my gate. Flight took off on time, operated by a very clean A320 with elegant interior. Service on board was friendly and professional and pilots provided plenty of information during the 1h45min hop to Milano. I could't have asked more for the final leg of my (long) trip back home from Seattle.

"staff were helpful and service minded"

(Norway)

Verified Review | I had a SAS flight from Oslo to Hong Kong via Stockholm. Business outbound and premium economy (SAS Plus) inbound. Great service and a fresh new cabin on the A330. The premium economy cabin is spacious and one of the most comfortable premium economy cabins I've had. Business had great capsuled flatbeds. Wifi was stable and available during the flight except from the Chinese airspace. Food and drinks were tasty and good. Staff were helpful and service minded, but there is a small gap up to Qatar, Thai, Singapore and Emirates in terms of service level. Overall very satisfied.

"it was comfy enough"

(Norway)

Verified Review | Flight from Dublin to Oslo was about 30 mins delayed, but time was made up on the journey. SAS needs to update its fleet. Its aircraft are old and outdated and normally SAS are very expensive but don't offer a flagship service ie apart from tea and coffee you have to pay for everything. This time I got a great value SAS GO (23kg checked luggage included) cheaper than a Norwegian flight. On these occassions SAS is good. Check in online and seat selection in advance (which some airlines do not offer, when not flying from one of their bases) and tea and coffee included and a sense that you are flying with a decent airline with experienced pilots. Check in was also very quick and smooth as SAS avail of the permanent star alliance based staff who man the desks for all flights. Sat in an emergency exit seat, with no seat infront 17F and it was comfy enough. If SAS continues to be more competitive on price, then I will be more likely to fly with them. Too often SAS is overpriced for a service that doesn't include a newer fleet, slick cabin interior and the wifi and live flight map that Norwegian offers to all pax.

"a most agreeable flight"

(Portugal)

Lisbon to Chicago via Copenhagen with SAS Scandinavian. A most agreeable flight with Danish cabin crew very pleasant, good flight conditions, good entertainment provided and good food. In the return flight to Lisbon, through Stockholm, the Swedish cabin crew was not nice or polite unfortunately, they skip passengers when serving drinks and were a bit rude when talking to passengers.

"partially satisfied by experience"

(Italy)

I booked a flight from Stockholm to Lulea with an extra cost for booking the seat. On the plane the seat was occupied by another passenger - I told to hostess but, because of avoiding debates I chose to sit in a free seat in the row before. Not a graceful experience. However the plane was clean and flight good. The beverage was sufficient, but they charge 1 euro to drink a glass of orange juice. Price of internal flights acceptable, quite expensive the prices of travel from Italy. I am partially satisfied by this experience. Kind the assitant at ground at arlanda.

"experience was excellent"

(Australia)

Flew Copenhagen to Boston with SAS Scandinavian. While the seats on this aircraft are not up to the standard of most other trans Atlantic options, it was fine for a daytime flight. An iPad was provided to watch movies etc, although selection was limited. But those negatives aside, the experience was excellent due to the cabin crew (who obviously enjoyed their jobs) and quality and presentation of the food. Ground service was also excellent, and the lounge in Copenhagen was a nice place to wait before the flight. This was our first experience with SAS and it was a very good one.

"the worst business class experience"

(United Kingdom)

Manchester to Oslo. This was beyond doubt the worst business class experience I have ever encountered. The seats on the aircraft were 3x3 and every seat was the same. Business class had no different leg room, seat size or any other comfort than economy. On some airlines when travelling short haul the middle seat is left empty, not with SAS. The only discernible difference was that business class passengers had free drinks and a meal. No choice in the meal. Whatever it started out as by the time it got to me it was utterly inedible. OK we got a greater baggage allowance but it would have been cheaper to buy an extra bag than pay for a non existent business class seat! Never again. The positive was the friendly and professional attitude of the cabin crew.

"cabin crew was excellent"

(Sweden)

Verified Review | Chicago to Stockholm with SAS Scandinavian. Long haul flight in SAS Plus. The flight was comfortable in the new SAS cabin. The cabin crew was excellent and the onboard wifi and entertainment system worked very well. The aircraft was clean according to the highest standards. I definitively recommend SAS for long haul flights. Top score.
