Dear Seema, We spoke just now. I had booked a flight from Reykjavik to Stockholm (via Copenhagen) through Kayak.com for 2 passengers, Tushar Kamat (myself) & Priyanka Kamat (my wife). I had indicated a travel date of 6th Oct during my booking, but for some strange reason,, the ticket got issued for 4th Sep (yesterday). My credit card also got charged for the full amount and I received an e-ticket yesterday. Later during the day yesterday, I received a mail from Flight Network (which I guess is the travel portal used by Kayak.com) stating that the 1st leg of the flight (Reykjavik to Copenhagen) on 4th Sep got cancelled. The mail from Flight Network is appended in the mail below. Firstly, my travel date was never supposed to be 4th Sep, and it was always supposed to be 6th Oct, since I am still in India and have not even started my Scandinavia trip. Secondly, since the 1st leg of the flight was cancelled by the airline, the 2nd leg made no sense for me anyways, since my end destination was always supposed to be Stockholm, and not Copenhagen. Since the cancellation has occurred at SAS end (and even the incorrect booking date seems to be an error not at my end), I would request you to organise for a full refund of the Reykjavik to Stockholm flight fare for me & my wife to me. This amount was charged to my credit card by Kayak.com so would appreciate it if you could either get the full amount refunded to my credit card, or organise for the amount to get transferred online to my bank account. I would look forward to your prompt response. Thanks, Tushar

Seating was comfortable with good leg room for my husband who is tall.We had a needy passenger beside me and the stewardess did her utmost to accommodate and make us comfortable for which we were grateful.

Breakfast was poor (a piece of cake ),and not enough tea/coffee offered during the flight.

Nice plane, lovely crew. A minor detail, but very pleasant: the ever-changing "mood lighting" in the cabin, the overall color changing every ten minutes or so. Surprising how much less boring such a small detail can make a space when you have to sit there for seven hours at a time. :)

The best aspect was the high quality and well considered children's entertainment pack. Lovely sticker albums and puzzles, as well as a cosy blanket that turns into a back pack

It's a shame that food is not included in the flight. The flight wasn't cheap or low cost, but for a long haul transatlantic airline to not provide food makes it feel budget

Seat 8G does not have a window.

We were issued boarding passes with unassigned seats for myself and my husband even though we checked in 23 hrs before flight. Instead got GTE ~ we were told by agent at baggage drop that the flight was oversold and this means we're on standby so we have to go wait by the gate because he didn't know if we would get on the plane. So we stood for 2 hrs at the front of a line with 38 other standby passengers only to be told 10 mins before boarding, when someone FINALLY showed up, that we should go sit down, they're going to call by last names and to not worry because everyone has a seat!!! Utter shambles! Couldn't someone come out and tell us this earlier??!! Rude, uncourteous, unapologetic staff. Common courtesy would see people standing in line and deal with them first! One passenger was told she should have booked earlier although she bought at the same time as us - 3 months ago! Another couple 1 week ago and another since June. So the reason given that the tickets were bought late is untrue! We asked an agent why Air Canada would oversell tickets and was told it was business! Told him this was very dishonest of Air Canada, only to get back a very rude and frankly surprising answer- "I'm sure you do dishonest things at your work too!!" Not one Air Canada employee in this whole process took the time out to treat us like paying customers, or bothered to realise we have lives to get back to. My husband works for Parliament and had to be at work the next morning and this undue stress thinking that he wouldn't get to work caused him to experience a migraine of which he is a sufferer. I have flown countless times on various air lines and have never been treated like this before. After this experience I'm seriously considering this to be the last time I ever fly with Air Canada and will definitely be sharing my experience with colleagues, friends and family.

Crew attitude was inconsistent which contributed to some cognitive dissonance. I ordered cup noodles which was not hot n still not fully cooked (you might say al dente haha) based on a lady crew's attitude, I thot I would jus add more hot water n make do. However, the other gentlemen crew was so enthusiastic n eager to please, he actually replaced e entire noodle. Overall good effort with room for improvement.

Entertainment was good

Seats are very small

Extra luggage allowance (2x 23kg per adult) and children's entertainment pack. Children's television options are limited, but adequate

No food served - only soft drinks and tea, although it's acceptable for a such a short flight.
