"Seats beginning to get worn-out"
Daniel Berg (Norway)
SAS doesn't offer Business Class on short haul, but the Plus-class (Economy Comfort) is a good option. Recently, they upgraded the service-concept in SAS Plus on short haul, which includes warm towels and a new design for beverages and meals. Alcohol is served in glasses. Lounge was quiet and had good variety of foods and drinks. Fast-track and pre-boarding were included. The thing I would pinpoint is their old cabin. Seats are beginning to get worn-out and needs to be replaced.

"service reasonable and efficient"
J Tan (Singapore)
Took 3 domestic flights in two weeks with SAS Scandinavian, Oslo-Tromso, Tromso-Trondheim via Bodo, Trondheim-Bergen. All flights on time. Clean but old planes. Free coffee or tea on all flights. Service reasonable and efficient. Self service check-in and bag drop. User friendly and efficient. Regional airports small but efficient. Good enough. Ticket price reasonable. Will certainly use them again.

"price isn't worth the service"
Jiaqi Zhu (Belgium)
Brussels to Kiruna via Stockholm. SAS claim they are a full service carrier, but they don't mention there are no food/snacks provided during the booking of the ticket. Only free tea/coffee offered. Even you want to pay for a meal, they don't have extra prepared. On the way from Brussels to Stockholm, I sit close to the back of the flight. The tea/coffee service was so slow that when it arrived to me, they were starting to prepare for landing. Moreover, there was a sharp piece of metal under my seat, which cut my jeans and hurt my skin. I told it to one crew, but she didn't apologize or take some actions like help me changing to another seat. When flying back to Brussels from Stockholm, things are even worse. My suitcase is seriously scratched. Even though I put a protection cover over the whole suitcase, the cover itself was broken with several big holes. The price of the ticket really isn't worth the service, I don't feel they have better service or attitude than some cheap airline carriers.

"will use again"
Mike Machin (United Kingdom)
Excellent experience with SAS Scandinavian. Online check in perfect, helpful staff at bag drop. Onboard the crew were friendly, served free tea with top-ups. Flight deck crew excellent in very challenging conditions, force 9 winds at Heathrow and thick fog at Oslo. Bags delivered quickly at Oslo. Very good value and will use again.

"cheerful crew"
4 reviews Chris jones (Norway)
Full SAS flight, cheerful crew, simple service with free tea and coffee, you have to pay for water which is not good if your traveling with kids. Plane was clean and tidy on boarding, delayed take off from Tromsø but they managed to catch up. Online check in was good and easy, ther SAS app is easy to use. Onboard, no entertainment at all so take a tablet for kids to play with.

"meals were fresh"
J Donahue (Germany)
SAS ground staff at CPH very efficient and friendly. The cabin crew were professional and service oriented. Meals were fresh, presented wonderfully, and of a good portion. The new business class cabin was clean, sleek and very spacious. SAS should try to improve the business class product on inter-european flights.

"never received apologies"
Steve Carruthers (United Kingdom)
I turned up at the airport early as usual only to find my SAS Scandinavian flight was cancelled, re-routing had not been done and I was advised to "stand aside and wait" So went for a coffee, upon return the routing was still not done so hung around for another 20 minutes. Eventually our party got told we were routing via another country. I explained this would make us late for a meeting. I was advised that I should go to customer services to see what could be done. Went along to the desk and stood in a queue of other irate "customers" It became obvious that we would not been seen before the rescheduled flight took off. So unsure what would happen if we never showed up at the gate we reluctantly decided to go. Calls were made and we postponed our meeting. Then when we arrived at the mid point (Copenhagen) we discovered our connection was now delayed. We were not offered any assistance, information, beverages nothing. This resulted in us arriving at our final destination some 3.5 hours late, Which coincided with the rush hour meaning in fact we were around 5 hours late to the meeting. During this experience we never received apologies, explanations not even a free cup of tea. I have contacted the airline three times but had no reply nothing. I am due compensation but I think the process of claiming from this airline is more trouble than its worth due to issues with jurisdiction. I have rated them one out of ten, after all we did get to the destination otherwise it would be nil.

"worst service for a long time"
Randall Bytwerk (Lithuania)
Copenhagen to Palanga. I was surprised at the low quality of the SAS Scandinavian experience. The flight was cancelled with no informational to why. I was not given the information required under EC 261 relating to compensation for cancelled flights until I asked for it. We were rebooked on a later flight. It was delayed. Our luggage didn’t make it with us. It was delivered later than promised. When I filed with SAS for the EU-mandated compensation, I find that it will be 3-4 weeks until SAS responds to my request. I fail to understand how a major airline can take that long to respond to a problem. In short, service is poor and customer service is worse. . This is the worst service I’ve experienced for a long time on a major airline.

"SAS Plus ticket good value"
Pascal-Pierre Saunier (France)
I flew Warsaw to Stockholm on a SAS plus ticket, since there is no business class any longer on SAS intra-EU flights. The seats are economy seats, I had seat 1A, window seat with plenty of legroom. Check-in was fast and my ticket allowed me to use the Star Alliance lounge at Warsaw airport. Seat is okay for such a short flight. There is no meal service but you can choose free of charge from the onboard menu. FA were friendly and welcoming. Really a nice flight. Connection in CPH was swift and I could use the SAS lounge as well. SAS Plus ticket was good value, only a little more expensive than regular economy ticket and you can carry 2 bags instead of one.

"was completely disgusting"
Niklas Kuisma (Finland)
Helsinki to Alicante via Stockholm, returning via Copenhagen. Flights from/to Helsinki operated by Blue1, old planes but fresh cabin and good seats. Stockholm to Alicante return was completely disgusting on SAS Scandinavian aircraft. I've flown all the major European economy classes, and never witnessed an economy class this bad. Cabin design outdated, seriously no legroom and seats were in a bad condition. But credits for the free piece of baggage and cheap price.
