Mediocre. Maybe due to Economy light. Staff was great. Space shrunk, not for me, and definitely not for Vikings. Food was decent. Assistance lagging. There was a possibility to upgrade to Premium economy, however my bid was immediately classified as low and not even considered (though well over minimum bid). Thus I was no bleeding dry.
Basic flight. Great for something under two hours. Seats were a bit dated and uncomfortable
Upon departing and landing, the man seating in front of me had his seat leaning back. Taking off nobody told him anything. Landing someone from the crew said something but the passenger ignored him and nobody followed up. Felt a bit unsecured. If this that is some of the basics are missed, what else was overlooked?
On time, reasonably comfortable for economy, decent food. All in all a very good experience.
Flight was cancelled without notice or any reason given. I found out coincidentally when i was checking the baggage allowance on the app, When contacting the airline, the only option peresented to us meant we lost a day of our weekend getaway. Had a lot of contact with airline prior to flight, trying to get them to resolve the issue. We could have traveled the first stretch ourselves but the airline refused to accommodate this. The airline outright refused to be forthcoming in agreeing to alternatives that would let ut keep the date we had booked, and so a third of our holiday effectively vanished. This meant a lot of hassle, changing hotel nights, activities etc. Furthermore and after the flight, customer service refused to answer our complaint unless we used their very restrictive online form, which gave us no chance to properly explain what our issues were. They have of course denied our complaint, and so i have to bring the matter further. If you have an alternative airline to use, please do. SAS treats its customers as a necessary evil.
Better food; taste, portion. Bottle of water per seat was great.
The connection time from the flight to Stockholm and the flight out of Stockholm was too short. Due to a knee injury, I almost missed the second flight. From deplaning at E5 to boarding at F69 takes more than 40 minutes.
The worst with the trip was the space in economy, my knees are still hurting. There was no way to control personal air by turning a knob above you, it was way to hot on both rides. During the night flight they allowed 2 people from across the aile which was narrow to sit and talk for 7 hours while also using tablets and the flashlight from their phones pointing into the row where I sat at times. They allowed people with way too large baggage to bring onboard. I paid way too much for the ticket ($1,364} for economy. Kayak misinformed me to get cancellation insurance that was only valid for a very short time (less than 12 hours) and was over one hundred dollars. Hotel booking was incorrect, I had the room booked myself at the hotel, only double or larger rooms available which I paid over 400 dollars for. I will never fly with SAS again unless there is no other alternative.
Really good. Everything went smoothly. That's what I hope for when I'm on a long flight, especially with multiple changes. Thank you SAS.
Curious and efficient service ! First time flying with SAS and very pleased!
