TRIP REPORT | SAS Rebooked Me on A350! | SAS Airbus A350 | Newark to Copenhagen

SAS Trip Report flying from Newark to Copenhagen onboard one of the SAS A350 on a beautiful spring afternoon in New York and a cold and rainy morning in Copenhagen.

What a day! Omg! What a day! I was booked on a SAS connecting flight from Newark to Copenhagen (via Oslo, so my flight out of Newark was to Oslo). The flight was scheduled to be operated on an Airbus A321Neo. Everything was absolutely normal and we even had our usual planespotting session before boarding.

It wasn't until 50 minutes before the flight to Oslo that I got an SMS from SAS saying that my flight was delayed by 4 hours (the plane had landed hours ago). I went immediately to the only SAS staff I saw, which was the CPH boarding gate staff. They told me the plane to Oslo had a hard landing in Newark and was under maintenance.

I asked if there was any chance to fly directly to Copenhagen on the SAS flight they were about to board. After many calls, the SAS supervisor changed me to this flight and she even gave me a window seat! Thanks so much to all the staff there. I had important obligations the next day and not being able to fly would have been catastrophic.

The only bad part of the change was that the seat was in the middle of the wing... so that forced me to do my best to make this video. I really hope you enjoy it. It was pretty hard to make.

All that being said, the flight wasn't bad at all. Actually, just after departure, we enjoyed the best views of Manhattan I've ever seen! It was just amazing! We flew exactly over it! For sure on a seat not over the window it would have been better... but come on! After all that happened, I guess I couldn't ask for more!

We flew towards the Northeast, heading to Canada. We left Quebec on our left and Halifax on the right. We then entered the Atlantic Ocean, flying on direct course to Copenhagen. After 5h over the sea, we finally saw some mainland. We landed in rainy Copenhagen ahead of schedule, ending an adventure I Will never forget.

About the onboard service, in the SAS GO class, only one complimentary non-alcoholic drink is offered. All the others are for purchase. A normal economy class is still served. In this case, the main meal (and the only option available) was chicken with pasta and vegetables. It came with some ham with some sauce/cream and lettuce as a starter, bread and butter, and a chocolate cake as dessert. To be honest it was quite good, especially the starter. For being an airline that is under administrating after filing bankruptcy... the catering is kept at a good level. Better than other legacy airlines in Europe, for sure.

The breakfast service was offered one hour and a half before landing in Copenhagen. Again, I was impressed: I was expecting just a tiny thing, but they offered orange juice, coffee, warm bread with butter, and salad with cheese and ham. It wasn't the best but, again, better than many other legacy airlines in Europe.

Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with SAS? Maybe with Austrian Airlines? Which route? Which airplane model did fly? How was the experience? Which route did you fly? Have you ever flown on an Airbus A350? Have you ever been in Newark? What do you think about the SAS long-haul experience? What do you think about crossing the Atlantic on an A321?
Lots of things to talk about! Read you all in the comments!!
