Thanks Markus for showing me this. I´m an avi-geek and therefore follow some of you guys. You have to be my latest - and I like the nice way you describe. Calm and relaxed. I have been on the A 330 quite many times to EWR and ORD before the pandemic. I do really like SAS Biz-product albeit the Champange has been down graded to non Vintages. ( Sometimes SAS have Special Clubs from the small growers) I also pay for my trips and will on this Friday 12th January fly the A 350 to times!!! SAS has it on the ARN-CPH route for training. I will fly GOT-ARN-CPH-ARN-GOT. Booked with 20 000 points, 705 SEK, for SAS-Plus but have the possibility to choose seat 5A in the Biz-cabin - nice. Återigen, stort tack Markus. Ja Gott och Blandat har även fött denna kropp ;-)

Thanks for watching! Last year LH has their new 787 on a similar route for training purposes, between FRA and MUC. I came close to booking it just to experience the cabin. In the end I flew it on their normal route FRA-YUL. But on this SAS flight, I was disappointed to not get the A350 it indicated when I booked.

It's definitely the best business class cabin that Lufthansa has!

Thank you :-) It's just like Eurostar, these are hopeless cases for quite a while already.

Though I think the financial troubles of SAS are on a whole different level.

Hi I’m flying with them In 3 days on business. Is there free alcohol included? So I can ask for a glass of wine of champagne for an example?

@MarkusTravels 5 ай бұрын

In business class, all drinks are free, indeed. I had some photos of the menu in the video of what's available.

Was this a Airbus a330neo aircraft you were on ?

@MarkusTravels 5 ай бұрын

It was an A330 for sure, but I don't remember it having the new engines.

@elevat1on 3 ай бұрын

Negative. SAS doesn't fly the A330 NEO. A330-300 only.

I would assume the term "welfare chicken" on the menu means that the chicken was raised in a humane manner and allowed to run around as opposed to being kept in cages.

@MarkusTravels 5 ай бұрын

Indeed, I think that is what is meant. But I believe it's a mistranslation from one of the Scandinavian languages.

@youtubedislikes3756 5 ай бұрын

No it wasnt a free range chicken, it was a lazy chicken that relied on food stamps and refused to go to work

I dont like SAS on board service look at their second meal its terrible they should've serve hot meals you should've told the crew I always pay for my ticket and when I am in business when I dont like something I always report to flight manager and what they do they report to the company it is very important people complain if not they will continue to cut from the service please try Iberia business class and also Austrian Airlines which I love it

@MarkusTravels 5 ай бұрын

I've had good experiences w with Austrian. Plus the Vienna airport is beautiful and minimalistic!

Our second meal was amazing and we had both hot breakfast (bacon/ eggs / mushrooms / spinach) and a cold cuts plate and fresh fruit salad, and warm rolls and croissant
