THE RETIRED COUPLE TRAVELS THE WORLD

Жыл бұрын

We have just arrived from Sydney and after about 6 hours at LAX we will continue to Copenhagen CPH. We fly Scandinavian Airlines SAS in economy Class and the aircraft is a new Airbus 350. We also quickly show you our favourite lounge, the Star Alliance at LAX.
Please note when you arrive international to LAX (transfer) you must pass immigration and pick up you baggage, take it through custom and place it on another belt. This even it you and your baggage are checked to your final destination.

I took this same flight from LAX to CPH. Except it was on an SAS Douglas DC-7 with a refueling stop in Greenland. Still have vivid memories of the flight. (DC-7 = four engine prop, piston engines. And no entertainment screens on the seat backs 😆)

this is so wholesome, educational, and funny to watch. I love the subtle humor in the commentary while watching you two document your journeys.

My first flight overseas was SAS from LAX to CPH with a stop in SEA on a Super DC-8 in 1969. Much more comfort on that plane in coach than on planes now.

It’s just such an amazing video! I am a big fan of aviation and have lived in Lund for 5 months. The view when approaching to CPH just reminds me of so many beautiful memories during autumn of 2019!

Great video, thanks for sharing. I like you landed on the old runway 30, normally it's 04 or 22. Also great to hear the Swedish air hostess welcoming you to Copenhagen! It could even have been a Norwegian girl. On approaching Copenhagen from Malmø you must have had a brilliant view of the Øresund Bridge

Great video! I like the way you covered the shole trip: airport; lounge; aircraft; seating configuration; crew; meals. Personally, I've enjoyed all my flights with SAS (all in basic Economy class) --- though over the years, I've seen the way corporate economy measures have made an impact, especially in Economy. As but one example, Delta offers a choice of meals and also complimentary alcohol, even in their basic Economy, yet SAS doesn't. Still and all, your video reinforces my positive attitude toward SAS, and I thank you for sharing this with us.

@@jakewatson2660 Hi, Jake: Delta's basic Economy on long-haul international flights (last flown in 2019, U.S.-Paris/return) offered a choice of meals and complimentary alcohol. SAS's basic Economy on long-haul international flights (last flown in 2016, U.S.-Copenhagen/return) offered just the one selection, and there was a charge for any alcoholic beverages. (Please keep in mind the dates; these days, in-flight services/amenities can come and go - usually go - with the blink of an eye.)

@dan.spotter1648 Жыл бұрын

The lack of meal choices still surprises me. I wonder when/if this will change. Glad to hear you have had good experience with SAS crews. Last time I flew SAS long haul was a year ago, and up until then I only had mediocre crews at best. Makes sense, since Scandinavia is not known for being overly friendly on the surface or service minded. But I'm clad you had a better experience. Maybe they changed lately!

OMG.... are you serious? 10 seats abreast on this A 350 airplane with nearly no legroom. How poor is that!!? Honestly, I don't need or expect alcoholic beverages to be on offer in general. However, one free Baileys with your coffee e.g. or wine for dinner is something you may at least expect on long haul flights without demanding too much. Same on seat comfort! We mostly fly KLM, JAL or Delta (happy with!) and would not if they came close to what you had on SAS. Good review, thanks for sharing! 👍

I can’t remember a time when I saw anyone land on 30 at CPH…and as for Y class catering, way more than on a US carrier…the second service you might see a roll…that was (almost) a Danish breakfast….almost. 😉 I have to get back to CPH…it’s been too long!!

Vi hade gärna stannat men den var betald med eurobonuspoäng. Hade vi gjort ett stopp anses det vara två resor och därmed betydlig fler poäng att betala. Det gick ändå förvånansvärt smärtfritt. Tiden i loungen var guld värd där vi kunde sova ett par timmar innan resan med SAS

The crews are quite often Scandinavian with both Danes Swedes and sometimes Norwegians working together. The languages have the same origin and we can understand each others (mostly) if we speak slowly:>) Icelandic has also the same origin but it is more or less impossible to understand.

It´s a nice video, but I found it a little unrespectful to call non-alcoholic drinks "kidsdrinks". Many aldults don´t drink alcohol and it doesn´t turn them into kids.

Thank you for your comment and I am sorry if I offended you. What I meant is that soft drinks usually are the preferable choice among kids/youngsters and when you get older like me, you often don’t mind a glass of wine with your meals. I realize I could express myself in a better way,
