Flight was good and crew excellent. Only unexpected item was to pay for beverages after the first meal was served regardless if it was soft drink or alcoholic.

Flight was good and crew excellent. Only unexpected item was to pay for beverages after the first meal was served regardless if it was soft drink or alcoholic.

Everything was perfect. I would’ve liked better selections for entertainment, but I slept most of the time, so it wasn’t really an issue.

Short flight in an Embraier. Business class seats didn't have leg room, but the rest of the upgraded amenities were great -- priority boarding, great in-flight meal, etc. No wifi nor entertainment, but that's fine for a 1.5hr flight.

Really good. Everything went smoothly. That's what I hope for when I'm on a long flight, especially with multiple changes. Thank you SAS.

Terrible customer service. The flight attendants were rude. We experienced significant turbulence for a large portion of the flight and there was very little check in from the flight deck. The space was extremely limited to the point where it felt like torture. Never again

Baggage was mis-handled; food and grocery items in the baggage were damaged.

It was a good flight. Everyone was professional and the flight was smooth.

Service, food was outstanding. They make every effort to make sure that your long flight is as comfortable as possible. The only reason I did not rate them excellent is the way they handled our cancelled flight. They were great about re-booking except for the hotel. A communication breakdown ensued regarding who was booking the hotel for our overnight stay: the city where the flight was cancelled or the city where we were going to lay over for the night. In the end, neither of them did, so we ended up doing it ourselves and were extremely lucky to get a room at all. Given that, I still would not hesitate to fly with them anytime.

No TV screen, free WiFi or power outlets, but seats were comfortable, food and drinks were great, service was awesome!

Best airline to travel on a budget- really like their reasonably priced access to the SAS lounges where available.
