Awesome trip report! I've always wanted to see how -RKP looked inside. LN-RKP actually came from LAN Chile, and SAS used it as a reserve plane. Its getting scrapped in february or march in 2019, and a brand new new A330E will enter the fleet instead.
I actually did a little researching into the matter, because I was bidding for an upgrade, and to my surprise it turned out that although SAS claims that all A340 in regular use are fitted with the new cabin, RKP is flying very regularly (almost daily) to ORD and IAD. Other long-haul destinations are always served by aircraft with the new cabin. Not a big issue for me, but if you paid business it's very annoying imo.
I checked the flight history of - RKP, and it was only used on US routes. Seems to me like SK always wants new machinery on their Asia routes. Also, - RKP is in use quite often considering it's supposed to be a backup, but that's also the official statement, so...
leider wenig info über den bordservice von str-cph gar nichts...kein getränkeangebot welcher wein war kostenlos erhältlich und der zweite essenservice auf der strecke cph-ord....schade
Actually, that is exactly what happened. Because the IFE was so outdated, they decided to remove it. Instead, they give out an iPad to each passenger with all the content like a normal IFE.
I guess, nobody needs informations like this! Always the same. Its boring. Everybody have to show and to declare his First Class Status. Ok, we have seen it. But times changed. We should concider whether we want to continue this bad tourism in this way. We had to say goodbye to such unimportant questions like „why was the coffee at flight 1234 so bad“...our arrogance is limitless and so is our stupidity...
Excellent trip report. You had a very nice seatmate. Love your wing view. Flying on an A340 is amazing
What a lovely report. The A340 seems still great even though it doesn't have a new interior. Give you a like and a subscription 👍
Thanks a lot!

Great video👍🏻✈️
Thanks!
LN-RKP is not only used on us routes , it’s a a substitute machine that is placed on routes where the normal plane is on reparation.

Hi, Would I get miles with a Ethihad Guest card or should I go for miles and more?
OR WHAT WOULD you suggest? Ethihad Guest or Miles and More
It appears the "SAS Plus" seats had their IFE ripped out and replaced with the SAS logo in its place. That is absolutely terrible!
