    Join me on this Trip Report with SAS Business Class (SK) on their Airbus A350. This flight video also covers Copenhagen International Airport and the SAS Gold Lounge.
    We're doing a tour at the SAS Gold Lounge. The flight between Copenhagen and Tokyo was a great experience!
    I started my experience at Kastrup Airport, in Copenhagen. After check in I continued to the SAS Gold Lounge for breakfast before my flight.
    .
    The SAS Business Class on board the A350 offers a great seat and good legroom.
    SAS food and drinks are included in the ticket. I had delicious food for dinner and breakfast on this flight. SAS offers Charles Heidsieck champagne.

    Thanks Magnus for this nice video. I don´t often fly long distance but I was happy to fly SAS A350, actually “your” aircraft, Ingeborg Viking, from GOT-ARN-CPH-ARN-GOT (a tuff day) last Friday on 5A. Lovely nice bird and without almost no cargo or JET A1, she took off really fast - a great trip.
    Looking forward to your next video - keep on and don´t listen to the guys who don´t like the way you make them!

    Thanks, Magnus! A nice review again. I like very much the food you were served for lunch; showing all the options in a cart is a very nice idea so you can choose after seeing them. Presentation of food looked great, I hoped it tasted as nice as it looked. And yes, the amenity looks quite cheap. Keep them coming!

    • @travelexperiencetv9916
      @travelexperiencetv9916  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thanks for your input! There were a lot of good things about this flight. The seat, crew, and the food. All really great. Therefore I think it’s sad that cost savings are done at something like the amenity kit. A decent amenity elevates the feeling of luxury, and when paying for a business class ticket one expects something else than tame kit delivered. But as a whole, a great experience.
      Thanks for your input and for watching!

    As a Norwegian I think it's cool SAS flies to Asia, but they must have a lot of salmon in that cargo hold! The flight looked empty. Especially with them struggling so much financially. But it must be working for them since they are increasing departures for the summer programme.

    • @travelexperiencetv9916
      @travelexperiencetv9916  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks for watching! Yep, not very full flight, but the business cabin was full.
      During summer season it’s a popular route, so I guess it’s a good deal to increase departures then. Also in general it’s a good cargo destination.

    I've used HND-CPH (the opposite!) on business, and the breakfast was far better than this Scandinavian style. I personally don't like these cold cuts you can usually find at SAS lounges and SAS Business Nordic-bound :(. This could be better!!!

    At first, I thought I was watching a video by The Luxury Travel Expert. Such striking similarities...all of which I like, respect and enjoy very much. This is quality travel vlogging...unlike the Tabloid-style (and a list of other colorful adjectives) of Josh Cahill, who also has his camera focused on his face for about 75% of the video running time (on average).

    I have done a few long haul SAS flights from/to CPH. Politicians in Stockholm are worried that ARN will lose some of its importance. Make Sweden less attractive, a soft power loss and complicate Business life in the most important capital in Scandinavia🙂. OSL is also growing (an airport I like and have lots of experience from).

    • @travelexperiencetv9916
      @travelexperiencetv9916  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thanks for your input Anders. I agree. It’s quite a delicate situation regarding Swedens largest airport. The political situation during the last decade, with decisions opposing the airline industry of course have given incentives to place the new SAS routes in Copenhagen. This is also the case with SAS new route between CPH and ATL. Even though CPH is my travel base, I hope that ARN will come back and be attractive for different airlines. I think it’s of big importance to Sweden as a country.
      As usual, thanks for your support!

    Honest critique: this was boring. You follow a very old format. Nobody cares anymore about the drive to the airport or the security lane, or even the lounges, unless they're exceptional. The take-off roll is also done to death. Subtitles are also not very interesting, as you speak English. If I were you, I'd do more narration, and focus more on the experience of the passenger IN the cabin, not in all of the public areas of the airport. If you could engage crew that would also really help. I want to like your work, but the format is tired.

    • @charlieb2903
      @charlieb2903 Před 5 měsíci +6

      I have to disagree about all of this, as I enjoy the format and content of these reviews. In particular aircraft crew are there to do a job, not to be interviewed by passengers. Keep up the good work Magnus. By the way my only experience of arriving at Haneda was awful with very long and slow queues for a surprisingly inefficient immigration process. I was part of a tour group and it must have taken at least three hours for us to all clear immigration.
