Now SAS has opened Seattle staring in May 2025, and they opened Atlanta and JFK from Oslo with A321LR. Maybe that’s an option for your next trip? Although Tokyo could be interesting as well. Thanks for your report and the background music was good as well. Happy travel.

SAS's first Polar Flights from CPH were to Tokyo via Anchorage and they flew the route with the DC-7C. Since they could not board local passengers to Tokyo in those days, I got to fly them from ANC to CPH and we took off in a snow storm but once reaching cruising altitude I got served Breakfast since it was the middle of the night for the through passengers then I got a 2nd Breakfast when all the other passengers did. Later we were all served Lunch but due to fog in CPH we had to stop in Stavanger for refueling and after about a total 14 1/2 hrs. we landed in CPH. Sort of an exciting journey for an 18 yr old. Of course, when the jets were finally introduced, it was only about an 8 1/2 flight! Thanks for the memories! Merry Christmas!

SAS gives you lounge access for premium economy at their hub airports. That’s a win. Also Stockholm is nicely positioned to take advantage of flying over the North Pole to reach west coast cities faster.

About the dirty seat...I watch a lot of flight reviews and I think that is a trend that is starting to re-emerge. Some airlines are slowly slipping back to their pre-pandemic bad habits of not adequately cleaning their aircraft. Gone are the days of the virtue signaling announcements at the gate of how much they value your health and safety by providing a clean aircraft.

The SAS A350s are beautiful! Saw one at LAX

Nice video - I've never travelled SAS or been to the Nordics (wel, , apart from to Rovienimi to meet Father Christmas!) - looked a great trip and the fact you slept for hours means it was a great flight! That's the whole point of Business class - a lie flat bed - having done it, it's very difficult to back to the cheap seats especially on long haul (anything over 5 hours for me - I can't sit in economy for longer than that any more)

I wish I had a Copenhagen stop for my upcoming SAS trip, but I'm still looking forward to Stockholm and that famous 747 hostel.

Fun story, back in the early 2000s, I lived in CA, and being from DK and traveling there once a year, my only choice with SAS was to fly Alaska Airlines up to Seattle to connect to a SAS flight to CPH there. For years, I begged SAS to open a non-stop between SFO and CPH. In 06, I moved to NJ, obviously being happy to have the EWR - CPH route now, but shortly after, they finally got the SFO route. Now I live in CO, and am now begging them to open a DEN - CPH route, but now that they have left Star Alliance, I don't see that happening. I have now aimed my begging at UA to open that route. I have always loved flying with SAS, so I'm sad that I probably won't anymore. Next year, on my trip to CPH, I'm flying BA with a connection in London.
Thanks for your video. Makes me nostalgic to see good old CPH ❤

Cool vlog! Nice Christmas decorations at Copenhagen. So nice to take a direct flight. Wow SAS has an interesting history … yummy meal !!! 30:16

I hope SAS ventures with Heart Aerospace will prove beneficial. Heart, for those who not know, is Swedish so it’s close to home for the airline.

I like SAS. That said, back in the days when smoking was permitted on airplanes, SAS had the absolutely WORST smoking configuration. Instead of dedicating the back 'x' number of rows being smoking seats, SAS dedicated the entire starboard side of the airplane for smoking, with the port side seats designated for non-smoking. There was nowhere to sit where you could avoid being enveloped in smoke. That was the reason I chose any other airline available for the route I needed to fly.

I absolutely believe you have the best travel vids. It seems you are mostly doing international trips. I would love to see domestic trips to.

24:57, Nice, I love that. Etihad, Airbus A330-300, Bamboo airways, Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, Aero Mexico, Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, SAS, Airbus A330-300 on your flight and (Delta airlines, Airbus A220-100 which I flew for the 1st time in May of 2021 from San Francisco to Las Vegas (but it's operated on the Airbus A319) via Salt lake city and both flights is good) have window inside the lavatory. I wish all airlines and fleets have window inside the lavatory.

I gotta say, disregarding the colors, those particular SAS Business Class seats look similar to Philippine Airlines' A350 Business Class as well as those acquired by Lufthansa from PAL and some of PAL's refurbished, non-high-density A330s.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and your family, Patrick! I'm glad I found your YouTube channel during the latter part of this year. 🎄 🎁
