I will never fly SAS business class again. Here’s why.

After this business class flight, I will never fly SAS again. This return trip from Los Angeles to Copenhagen features many more service issues than the outbound trip from CPH to LAX. But why I will not fly SAS Business is not exactly related. This video also features the United Polaris Lounge and the Star Alliance Lounge at LAX.
