NYC Flyer I’ve flown SAS from the US to my native country of Sweden and it is a great airline. In fact, it’s my childhood airline. When I lived in Sweden and we flew to visit the US, we always flew on the old SAS Boeing 747s. Nostalgic!
@@nenblom I'm Chinese and I lived in Denmark. I flied SAS every time when I was going back to China from Denmark because Air China is really expensive and I'm a Star Alliance passenger, and I absolutely love SAS. Now I live in the UK but every time I go back to China I still fly with them!
I also think most international airports look more like an up market shopping mall!! Vacant seat next to you...what a blessing! Its a shame to see the A340 moving into retirement. I have done a number of flights on this type with Etihad and Philippine Airlines and I think they are a great aircraft...but not so fuel efficient. Food looked good....better than most economy meals! Glad you enjoyed it....and breakfast looked ok as well. Excellent review of what looks like a very good economy product.Well done again!
The meal and cabin looked nice, but are you telling me if I even wanted water between meals I would need to pay for it? That is a small turn off if so, especially as other carriers improve their long haul services lately.
Experience: amazing! Favorite video moment(s): A340-300, the cabin interior, the ife system, ALL THAT FOOD and that train speed at the end Overall Rating: 9.5/10 Airlines that still need a tripreport: * EZ Air * Divi Divi Air * Winair Also can you come to Aruba's Airport
I flew SAS Go on the A330 last month. After comparing it to SAS Plus I didn’t find many differences. One of the things that I found out was that on my flight home from LAX I got the same meal as I got on the Plus flight, something that shocked me. Anyway nice trip report:D
Hey SAS, I am from Finland. Finland doesn't technically belong to Scandinavia. Do Finns have culture or are we too white for you as well? Asking because I love my country and I saw your "What is truly Scandinavian" commercial, the backlash you received from it and your dismissive response to its criticism.

the dark bread you got for breakfeast is called "Rugbrød" its a very danish thing that most of us eat every day for lunch, and many of the other things in both your meals are from denmark actually, so a very local meal :D
If you fly Sas and Its their a340 fleet. Then avoid LN-RKP, not updated interior. But thank god It gets replaced may/june this year with an a330-300e and If you go to CPH another time then Scandinavian souvenirs sells small Sas a340 push fit models
Flew this airline from LHR on a 737-700 to Oslo connecting with TG to BKK. A bit odd that a cup of tea was free but there was a charge for water! Figure that one out😊
"This is one of these gates where they scan your boarding pass and then you're trapped in a small waiting area..." It could be worse... you could be in Kansas City (MCI), where they scan your boarding pass and then you're trapped in a small waiting area, except there's no upscale mall before you get to your gate, just the usual airport gift newsstands and such. The Kansas CIty airport was actually an amazing and efficient design for the 70s and 80s where you could go straight from curbside to your plane in just a few steps. But once security measures were implemented, they walled off the gates, so once you go through security at each cluster of gates, you're stuck. However, Kansas City is going to build a new terminal that is more in line with the rest of the USA and other major world airports with a central security checkpoint that leads to a mall and the gates.
Can someone help me? I have bought a SAS go light tickets and one one carry on bag is allowed of 8kg, can I bring small a backpack too (within their laptop bag measurements)? It’s pretty small.
Great report as always...BUT what the heck is going on with SAS's on board service?! You only get 1 drink and 1 food option for free?! ....for me a no go I'd go for another carrier for sure!!
Did this a340 also have the downstairs toilets or does only the -600 have them? Great video again and I really want to try SAS but starting from Nuremberg and wanting to fly with them is not that easy or cheap. :(
SAS’s lack of economy catering choice and lack of complementary drinks between meals on such a long international route doesn’t impress me one bit. When even the American carriers give you an economy meal choice and complementary drinks between meals that says something.
wait no choice in Eco? but what if I'm a vegetarian for example? do I then have to preorder a special meal or bring somehting myself?? feels a bit scammy imo
A thorough report. For a ten-hour flight, I'd probably have to break the bank for an upgrade, as that tight seating would be a killer for me. For Economy, I'd say that the catering was excellent, and I like the magazine selection rack. IFE looked fine. You didn't mention wifi, so I imagine it's not available. So overall, I'd say that SAS offers a good deal for short people.
I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!! When I saw the title before clicking (destination is not shown due to my smartphone YT format) subconsciously I thought you are flying to Shanghai and guess what!
I love that SAS still operates the A340; one of my favorite planes! The meals also looked really good!
NYC Flyer sas will have the first a350 in service in june/juley

If you are Whyte, they'll spit in your food.
NYC Flyer was My meal on SAS was Beef with red wine sauce and mashed potatoes
*_Simply Aviation doesn’t take a day off even on April Fool’s!_*
Another very enjoyable review :) Good stuff!
Hi dj
This video is too good to be called “stuff” 😠
I also think most international airports look more like an up market shopping mall!! Vacant seat next to you...what a blessing! Its a shame to see the A340 moving into retirement.

Yes! I has waiting for a sas trip report!
max megamax same
So it wasn't an April Fool! Simply amazing to see a flight with SAS' A340. My hometown airline! =D
That landing seemed like butter! No shaking at all
A340 😍🚀
Nice tripreport as always btw💪🏼
Its always a great day when you upload!
The meal and cabin looked nice, but are you telling me if I even wanted water between meals I would need to pay for it? That is a small turn off if so, especially as other carriers improve their long haul services lately.
You get a water bottle of water prior takeoff, if more is needed I think so.
First
Awesome trip report
Plot twist:
The plane turned back Copenhagen cuz April 1st
One of the best landings I saw ever
Good job David!
Amazing tripreport!!!
Your channel is Simply Awesome!
Spectacular video David!
The livery of SAS is just awesome! BTW luv ur vids ;D
Experience: amazing!
Favorite video moment(s): A340-300, the cabin interior, the ife system, ALL THAT FOOD and that train speed at the end
Overall Rating: 9.5/10
Airlines that still need a tripreport:
* EZ Air
* Divi Divi Air
* Winair
Also can you come to Aruba's Airport
I'm glad he included the trip on the Maglev train. It certainly appeared to be going fast!
This SAS A343 cabin-interior looks very nice. Very much I like the soothing multi-color cabin-lights.
I flew SAS Go on the A330 last month. After comparing it to SAS Plus I didn’t find many differences. One of the things that I found out was that on my flight home from LAX I got the same meal as I got on the Plus flight, something that shocked me. Anyway nice trip report:D
Awesome video David! Fun to see a SAS tripreport since I live in Sweden!
Fantastic Trip Report mate! Liked
Very nice tripreport. I've taken this flight sooo many times now. Will be going again on the 10th of april!
Took SK998 PVG-CPH summer 2016... just doing random search for SAS A340 then found simply aviation has this new trip report...
Parked next to Air China Airbus a 330 and yes Air China is operating the long haul flights from Shanghai Pudong.
Great video! Cheers from Denmark.
Copenhagen Let’s Visit
I’m from Denmark and I love your videos

@@simply_aviation Thank you for your reply.
I think that was very very smooth perfect landing ,nice trip .
the dark bread you got for breakfeast is called "Rugbrød" its a very danish thing that most of us eat every day for lunch, and many of the other things in both your meals are from denmark actually, so a very local meal :D
Like a perfect smooth landing
Hey Simply Aviation , Hey David reports
12:26 Air NZ 787?
Woo. Thanks for the TRIPREPORT. Sorry I was incompetent.
Smooth landing!
A340 my favourite ride. Going to miss the roomy, smooth and quiet (although A380 is quieter.) jet when it goes out of service.
If you fly Sas and Its their a340 fleet. Then avoid LN-RKP, not updated interior. But thank god It gets replaced may/june this year with an a330-300e and If you go to CPH another time then Scandinavian souvenirs sells small Sas a340 push fit models
They haven't refurbished all A340s' interior in 2016? Why just left this one?
Flew this airline from LHR on a 737-700 to Oslo connecting with TG to BKK. A bit odd that a cup of tea was free but there was a charge for water! Figure that one out😊
I’m shocked! I thought it was going to be a cheap airline, but it’s actually really nice. I’m thinking of purchasing a ticket from dtw to France
Ihsan Deeb Well I’m Swedish and have flew with SAS both on long haul and short haul and I can say that it’s a huge difference between these two
Why was there no main course for the second meal?
lol i love Criminal Minds...especially Spencer.. that guy has the brains!
nice review; food portion is generous too.
The dessert @ 8:26 is called "Tilslørte bondepiker", it's kinda typical in Scandinavia. (Translation is something like "veiled peasant girls", lol)
"This is one of these gates where they scan your boarding pass and then you're trapped in a small waiting area..." It could be worse... you could be in Kansas City (MCI), where they scan your boarding pass and then you're trapped in a small waiting area, except there's no upscale mall before you get to your gate, just the usual airport gift newsstands and such.

However, Kansas City is going to build a new terminal that is more in line with the rest of the USA and other major world airports with a central security checkpoint that leads to a mall and the gates.
P.S. If you have to change planes and wait a couple of hours at MCI, it's not a very good place for a layover unless you have access to a lounge.
That landing was sooo smooth
Of all the pilot announcements, I find this the clearest announcement of all
Smooth landing very smooth
Can someone help me? I have bought a SAS go light tickets and one one carry on bag is allowed of 8kg, can I bring small a backpack too (within their laptop bag measurements)? It’s pretty small.
You woke up and boooom , the breakfast was in your lap. That is what I called silent service.
Is SAS going to retire the a340s in the near future? Its intercontinental fleet are really really old...
Weres the PAL airlines trip report?

nice video mate!!
nice....you told us that u will be making a trip report on PK from karachi to lodon still waiting for that one.
Be patient.
Great video👍👍👍
welcome to shanghai~欢迎来到上海~
The Maglev is just as amazing to ride! 432 km/h :)
Great report as always...BUT what the heck is going on with SAS's on board service?! You only get 1 drink and 1 food option for free?! ....for me a no go I'd go for another carrier for sure!!
Completely agree with you
Thommy uhhh you do realize that you wouldn't even get THAT on a US carrier right? Y'all are spoiled.
Did this a340 also have the downstairs toilets or does only the -600 have them?
Great video again and I really want to try SAS but starting from Nuremberg and wanting to fly with them is not that easy or cheap. :(
Awesome channel guys!
很好的up主，给你点赞👍👍👍👍
They served us Chicken thigh which was "disgusting." The rest of the meal was good though. You were lucky!!! Nice meal.
Legroom on SAS is a disaster. We paid $60 and got fantastic legroom. 9 months later the Corona Virus. Lucky you went in time.
This A340-300 was built in 2001?? It must be one of the last ever delivered
It isn't by far, there were many more delivered to the likes of Lufthansa, SAA or Air Belgium later on
The last ever delivered A340 was a A340-300 as an airplane with a VIP-interieur and it was delivered in 2008..
Oh tanks! I thought the last 340 delivered were the 500 And 600 version between 2010 and 2012
PLS TELL ME ! I'm flying to Shanghai on business class with my friends but we dont know whether to choose klm or sas , could you please recommend me ?
Fly SAS, KLM has terrible customer service and they won't help you when you need them. SAS is much better in that regard.
@@simply_aviation I also think that SAS is friendly with kids (because we are 15 years old) and we can travel youth class
I'm flying on the same plane to Tokyo in 46A so thank you for this video 😁
Airbus A340. my favorite. I think it is the best airplane ever !
Did the airline offer an Asian meal?
Very nice trip report! I love the A340 :D could you do a flight with azul embraer please
I flew on the exact same route back in 2015!
Is this the plane seen from 2019?
Thought the lavs were downstairs on a340.
Hi @simplyaviation I hope you do a comprehensive review of Etihads economy product next ....
Btw really love your channel cheers!!
Already watched this one?
th-cam.com/video/1-6wt8KT1i8/w-d-xo.html
I'm wondering if SAS pricing is lower than normal European carriers like KLM, Lufthansa, British airways etc.
4:34 i was on a sas a330 flight from Stockholm to newark and i would spin that thing all the damn time
can you do norweagen airlines from los angles to paris
In the description stands hat it was in April 2018? Is that right? Please answer🙏👍
Yes that‘s correct. Why should it be wrong?
So what do u think of Danish hotdogs? :)
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS TO SIMPLY AVIATION WITH LOVE 💐💐💐
If the A340 has a long time operate to make the Non-Stop Flight
SAS’s lack of economy catering choice and lack of complementary drinks between meals on such a long international route doesn’t impress me one bit. When even the American carriers give you an economy meal choice and complementary drinks between meals that says something.
Can you maybe try El al/Arika/Israir? I don't really like them but they're my flag carrier so...
We'll post Tripreports about El Al and Arkia soon :)
A great report
A great person (you, David)
A great plane
A great flight
What to say more....
Très Belle vidéo
I love your videos! But could you go on China southern airlines again in the future? Speaking of that, I will be going to China next week 🥰😊
We've already posted three reports on China Southern, so we probably won't travel with them again anytime soon... :(
Simply Aviation, Ohhh no no it’s fine, I love your videos no matter what :). I appreciate any video you post 😊
Thanks for posting a trip report on my national carrier with my favorite aircraft! You just made my day, thank you very much!
Welcome to SH! 欢迎来上海！
Smooth landing
wait no choice in Eco? but what if I'm a vegetarian for example? do I then have to preorder a special meal or bring somehting myself??
feels a bit scammy imo
You can pre-order meals for free if you have any dietary or religious restrictions.
on board its Wi Fi ?
A thorough report. For a ten-hour flight, I'd probably have to break the bank for an upgrade, as that tight seating would be a killer for me. For Economy, I'd say that the catering was excellent, and I like the magazine selection rack. IFE looked fine. You didn't mention wifi, so I imagine it's not available. So overall, I'd say that SAS offers a good deal for short people.
Wifi is available, and free in premium economy, business & for frequent fliers
@@jatterhog Free? Impressive!
Thank god its not a GTA video good work btw
I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!! When I saw the title before clicking (destination is not shown due to my smartphone YT format) subconsciously I thought you are flying to Shanghai and guess what!
LOL same for me… I once thought I should be the only one guessed that 🤣🤣🤣
Love It!!!
Sehr guter Report, wie eigentlich immer.
Das Essen sah gut aus, daß einzeln verpackte Frühstück...na...ja;-)
great video
Proud to be part of EuroBonus
Seville's airport (SVQ) has the same gates
I love SAS and i really Enjoy to see David’s Tripreports! David you are best
Please help me.Tell me that wether sas has any A380
No they don't.
But once I saw that singapore to paris I saw them putting the A380in flight stats in 2017
Yes, Singapore Airlines has some. But SAS doesn't have any A380s...
Do you recommend me sas? It looks like a very good airline
I enjoyed the flight and would choose them again... :)
