Scandinavian Airlines

Among all airlines flying to Europe this one seems to have the fewest amenities. I guess that’s what happens with state owned airlines. The lack of alcohol and having to sit thru stewardesses trying to sell you things during the flight is not reflected in a significantly cheaper ticket. My advice: go with klm or Lufthansa

Very nice service from Chicago to Stockholm. While this trip was taken more than 6 months ago, photos may not show on my review but you can peruse them on this SAS Chicago location collection. You can see the caliber of the meal service new international business at SAS. The colors of the cabin are soothing, the functionality of the gadgets user friendly, warm n’ comfy or as the Danes say hygge. And you cannot beat the meal and wine service here, it’s akin to its Asian counterparts. Finally it’s not very expensive but rather cost effective if you plan your trip ahead.
Happy to have found this service and will slowly move my international routes to United partners/​Star Alliance airlines like SAS, or other airlines like Emirates or Qatar when the price is not over-​the-​top and convenient for my travel plans.
Visits: 1 from ORD to ARN (Stockholm) over 6 trips on SAS.

I’ve had mixed experiences with Scandinavian Airlines. Either its really great or it really sucks. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground. My point is that they either treat you well and try to accommodate you (i.e. someone very tall … me … who needs a little extra legroom love) –OR– stick you in the back of the bus because you have no status with them and they say ‘too bad’. It’s almost that bad. Since I now live in Sweden, I asked if they would match my United status and I would fly back and forth with them exclusively (instead of United). They said no. I guess they don’t need my money. Thank God for United. They still care about customers. So, three stars for SAS. Not great.
