SAS Scandinavian Airlines

An airline, just like any other business, needs to decide in which category they want to play. SAS has yet to do this. While trying to keep up a premium image, supported by high class uniforms, classy lounges (for business class and gold card passangers) and advertising, SAS in in the forefront among the larger, classic airlines when it comes to cutting service level in economy class. With the advantage of flying to and from the main cities in Scandinavia, SAS becomes a natural alternative for business as well as pleasure travelling to the region. However, I would urge all passangers to think twice, and to compare rates, packages and airports, ...  Read the complete review

Little Thomas didn't like flying. I came to this conclusion 10 minutes into the flight from Copenhagen to Manchester. During all these 10 minutes Thomas who was aged about 7 or 8 had wailed as loudly as he could that he wanted to get off and that he didn't like flying.

I used to fly SAS all the time, but I've now realised that I'm simply wasting money...Yes, I can use the automatic ...  Read the complete review

Flying is unpleasant. There is nothing redeeming about the experience of being thrown down a runway at break-neck speed, shot into the air in what is essentially a tin can, "served" various "meals", which generally consist of chicken in white sauce and over-microwaved veg, then landing in a bumpy fashion to be herded through customs and feel thoroughly sick. So, when I had to fly with SAS from Copenhagen to London, I started out in a glum mood and have to admit that this wasn't really changed much! We got lastminute (20 mins before departure) tickets and, to be fair, were charged a very reasonable price. We were sat right at the ...  Read the complete review
