SAS SCANDINAVIAN AIRLINES Business Class Seat reviews

SAS SCANDINAVIAN AIRLINES BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A330

The cabin was well appointed, the crew attentive and seat comfortable. The issue was the seat length; for those who are 6' or over, the chair is too short. In the sleeping position this can be remedied by dropping the leg support, and while one ends up in a slightly experimental position, I slept for several hours.

SAS SCANDINAVIAN AIRLINES BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A340

The seat has been accurately described by other reviewers as not so good for sleeping but quite good for relaxing. I find the Economy Extra seat as just as good for relaxing (eating, reading). The business class seats will be changed within the next 24 months on SAS.

Seat 1A and 2A, quite pleasantly surprised by business class seats. Seat is still angled lie-flat, the recline feels flatter at the head and upper body section. The pillow could be bigger and firmer. Not much privacy, window seat passenger have to climb over aisle person when seat fully reclined.

The new SAS business class seats are better than the old ones of course but they still won't recline into a 180 degrees bed. The food is quite decent but it is not on demand as on other airlines. AVOD system offers good movies and TV-shows. The seat is alright on a day flight but if you want to sleep it is poor.

Angled lie flat seat reasonably comfortable for sitting relaxing and eating. Few places for storage, and lack of headrest adjustment makes that frustrating. Inferior for sleep, probably least comfortable angled lie flat seat I have used. No privacy divider also seat configuration offers a little privacy

Bangkok to Copenhagen. Relatively new aircraft, seats nothing to brag about. Worst was the service. Do not BKK-CPH. The seat is a sleeper which means it does not go horizontal, but it is an improvement on some other airlines. The buffet is a good idea on the long flights, but make sure you get an aisle seat or you will be climbing over your neighbour.

Bangkok to Copenhagen. Relatively new aircraft, seats nothing to brag about. Worst was the service. Do not understand the mentality, the crew is rude and are not even close to service friendly.

New C-class sleepers are excellent for daytime travel. very comfortable in upright and relaxing positions. Not a proper flat bed, but if you spend your flight watching movies (good AVOD IFE by the way) rather than sleeping, the seats are fantastic. Very attentive crew and self service snack bar make SAS my preferred choice on long-haul to/from Scandinavia.

The business seat could be flatter. Interesting that SAS changed their marketing. Originally marketed as flat bed, they backed out and referred to the seats as lie-flat, still not quite the truth, and now simply as sleeper seats. Disappointing that they call this the next generation when competitors are clearly already generations ahead with proper lie flat products.

Angled seat uncomfortable - slid down as I lay on my side. Was also trapped by window as my legs are not long enough to get over a reclining neighbor without climbing on him/her. Was quite surprised at lack of current movie options, 3/4 were at least 10 years old! Would have liked to visit the "self serve buffet" set up near galley but as noted above I was trapped. Better than United and I would fly this longer route again to avoid them, though we'll see when United's new business seats come out.

Pod seat but more comfortable than LH and Air France. Entertainment VOD - a bit quirky. Good extensive movie collection. Food very good with snacks available throughout the flight.
