SAS Scandinavian Airlines A350 Business Class - Chicago to Copenhagen
SAS recently acquired the first of many Airbus A350-900 aircraft and seeing the opportunity, I jumped on for an Atlantic crossing in business class from Chicago O'hare to Copenhagen. It was a pleasantly surprising experience both in the seat and the service, with a well-designed seat/bed combo, and fun crew.

The International Terminal used to be where T1 used to be. When it was decided to create a new international terminal, UA took over T1 and the International Terminal 4 moved to the lower level of the parking structure behind the O’Hare Hilton. When T5 was built, they closed T4 and that is why it’s the way it is now.
Nice trip report. I'm happy to find your channel. I have more videos (trip report) to enjoy now.
Your videos are nice, comprehensive and well-edited. You deserve more subscribers and you really challenged the current "famous" aviation KZreadrs like Sam Chui or Dennis Bunnik! I look forward to seeing more of your reviews - you and OneMoreWeekToGo ultimately became my favourite aviation KZreadrs! Seriously you Canadians really triumph in this.

OMG just STFU Sam haters. Sick of seeing these anti Sam comments everywhere. They both have their own styles. If you don't like Sam, just stop watching his videos and stop bitching about him everywhere ! And i laugh when guys accuse other guys of being "creepy" . Oh plzzzz....as though you guys are goody two shoes (I don't think Sam is creepy. Just PC gone mad from haters)
Glad you enjoyed it, Vic. It’s now grounded, and SAS announced this afternoon that they’re sending 10,000 employees on indefinite unpaid leave (that’s 90% of their staff) with immediate effect, and slashing their routes to a bare minimum. People are staying at home because of the virus and SAS have been hit hard, sadly😳👎🏻✈️
I couldn't agree more.. I love SAS. From the food, to service, to the cabin.
8:30 i work at IKEA in Sweden, i can help you with that, no problem.
This is one of the best flight reviews I have ever watched! Easy watching, funny, informative! Good mix of lounges, practical information and of course the flight itself!
just love your commentary!!! So entertaining yet informative!!
Rewatched this as I'm about to begin my career as cabin crew at SAS, and I can say you're definitely right about the genuine enthusiasm. I have a feeling I'll love it here!
One of the best thing in SAS Airline is their crew. Their so friendly and nice ♥️
Love your sense of humor, well done!
First time in ages where I saw the whole trip report! Amazing job! Looking forward to more
Absolutely loved this video, well worth the wait, please take your time making your videos, they're gold.
Great review - fabulous humour and glorious sarcasm. keep up the good work.
Best youtuber hands down in regards to trip reports. Also love the fact you show so much respect to yourself and others. Keep it up bro!
07:48 - Loved that tip of the hat to Dennis Bunnik! Your humour reminds me very much of the sly understated quips and sarcasm that I love from the Aussie reviewers like Dennis. Between that humour, high production quality, and the interesting additional information about locations and destinations, you are absolutely amongst my top favourite flight reviewers - which until now has consisted entirely of Australians like Dennis and Paul Stewart. I look forward to seeing many more of your videos!
I just discovered the channel this weekend, and I'm blown away by the reports. I've been hesitant about flying SK on transatlantic legs, normally flying UA or LH, but this video has definitely swung this (only) 1K MM to try SK when I can get back in the air. Thanks for all of your work on the video - it's definitely appreciated!!!

This is my first time seeing one of your vids and I'm very surprised that with your quality you don't have a ton of subs. This seems criminal lol. This is excellent quality and exactly what I was searching for. Very fun. You've got a new sub in me
Wow, the food presentation on this flight is pretty darn amazing! Especially those appetizers, they look like works of art!
Thank you! It’s been years since we travelled business class, (now we're economy plus or "steerage") and I really enjoy seeing what’s new and normal. I love your dry sense of humor, and your charm and politeness. I will continue to fly vicariously with you.😏
New subscriber, love your videos and humour. I flew SAS last year several times around Europe and found the staff to be friendly and efficient in a Scando way. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Fantastic detail, thoughtfully put together and I love your dry, throw-away remarks. Keep it up!
Hello from Denmark, Scandinavia. Excellent review. As others have stated, with the focus being on the product and not on the producer, induces relevant quality on and into your product, which is the review. Beautiful interior on the A350-900, with only minor adjustments to be done. Such delightful, representative and professional ladies. Liked and subbed. Cheerioh.
Good review indeed! Ingegerd Viking, the particular aircraft you flew with, today returned safe and sound some stranded scandinavians back from Peru (Lima). This was SAS's so far longest non-stop leg in history: SK7031 LIM-ARN.

Great Video! And thank you so much for doing a review of the lounges at ORD. I have Priority Pass lounge access, and have flown through Chicago a lot. Although I have never been to any of the ORD Priority Pass lounges, I was very happy to see your review of the them. It's such a pain in the ass to even attempt to make it to Terminal 5, then back to Terminal 1-3, that, even with a 2-3 hour layover, I just don't think it's worth the hassle. Glad to see that I am not missing anything special.

Wonderful video! Amazon channel. Slowly binging all your videos here. I flew SAS in 1999 and the crew back then were just as friendly and happy to be there as the crew on your 2020 flight. SAS seems to know how to treat their employees well and that happiness shows!

I hope so. They're one of those old companies that used the hub and spoke approach to flying to make a profit with few and big planes making all the profit back in the days. They where struggling a lot with making money back when the low cost airlines started showing up, ending up with older planes and higher wages then a lot of other planes (nordic labor laws and unions etc). The goverment was keeping them afloat though and there's been a few changes in management. I haven't read up on them in recent years though so I hope they're making a profit now.
