Dan: "I'm a self-proclaimed travel expert".
Also Dan: "I just realized I have a tray table".
Yea
Tray tables are hardly ever cleaned. Either don´t use them at all, or clean them up (really well!) before using them.
Sam Chui would have got a 5 course meal and be pleasured by the Captain
Ahahaha the pilots 💀
Yes lol. SAS in my opinion is my favorite airline even though he does not like it
🤣
@@landsfadern2 just fly Lufthansa or KLM you would change mind quick
In flight service was stopped because of covid, and the crew stay up front, meaning that the front galley is out of bounds in flight to enable social distancing
this episode should be titled 'dan discovers airlines like to cut costs' 😁
Yes lmaoo
Geez, after watching more than half of the video and 2 ads, I still don't know what you are talking about. Pls just try get to the point
Lavatories were blocked off in the front for staff use. This is a temporary measure because of corona. It's the same with Air Canada.. and on short haul AC business class you also only get water and a tiny pretzel bag. This is to limit the interaction of the crew with the passengers.
A box with food in it is a lot more interaction, no , it is a cost cutting measure.
@@cooldood37 yup cost cutting measure in the pretence covid mania🙄
@@blackjackbanker2359 yes sir
OMG! I’m not the only one who saves boarding passes and jackets.
I save the Inflight magazines ✈️
I do that too, I also keep good in-flight magazines
I have a binder
🙋♂️
You are not alone. I also do save everything (Boarding Pass, Magazines, Amenities, etc.)
Hey Dan!
Can’t wait to watch! Can you do a video on the new Singapore Airlines plane restaurant/fake flights? Keep doing these videos - They’re really good👍🏻
Dan - Thanks for doing what you do. Just an FYI - In the US there is only 1 carrier (American Airlines) that offers premium drinks and meal service in First Class. All other airlines offer Water and maybe a snack. Also, there was no reduction in fare for the reduction in service.
Sweden is very expensive
HA, me being Norwegian, we cross your border for cheaper groceries dammit! :D
lol, is it that expensive
@@louisco3603 yeah but everyone in norway is rich; the starting wage for a mcdonalds employee is the equivalent of 19$ an hour
@@nikolassilos_6227 That’s funny 😄
wait , YOU GUYS HAVE A GROCERY STORE !
You stayed very respectful and polite in expressing your feeling about that flight. You also underlined clearly the positive points like crew friendliness, leg space, wifi... thats the way to do flight reports. Your review was honest and constructive (unlike some other vlogger who’s main purpose is to destroy and tear down airlines and all of its employees)
Thank you for that :-)
Hey Dan love you’re videos I was wondering have you ever flown El Al? There 787 are a great improvement but there aren’t many reliable reviews out? Anyways keep up the great videos!
I hate to say it too but you’re totally right and as a Swede and an EBD member, I see no reason at all to fly SAS at the moment until they reintroduce service and opens up the lounge in GOT. I know they’re doing it to save money, it’s obvious but still compared to everything else, that’s pennies. Hopefully they’ll see this video and react on it ASAP
Flown 3 weeks ago in Economy with a very small airline, AirDolomiti, operating a flight for Lufthansa Regional. The service was exceptional, for a one-hour long flight. Coffee and tea, bottled water, and a small snack for each passenger. It can be done if there is any interest from the airline.
Aur Dolomiti is Lufthansa with a different Name, not more, not less
The pandemic has made all airlines show their true colors.
truest statement of all time!!!!!! major cats
facts*🤣
I love the honesty coming from your channel and Josh Cahill too.
Yeah these guys are not like Sam chui
Thank you 🙏 and I hope SAS wakes up a little as they have amazing crew.
Thank you ❤️
As an norwegian i think sas is a fantastic airline,but charging that much for a water bottle and no toilet is horrendus. We deserve better.🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪🇸🇪🇳🇴🇩🇰
lol
The front toilet is not in use, but the two in rear galley are as usually. About the service, the question is not so simple as it sounds in this video.
Doesnt norway have their own airline?
Great video. I had the pleasure of travelling the old SAS Euro business class on an MD-82. A fantastic experience. This SAS PLUS experience is nothing in comparison, it’s a money grabbing business class.
Was about to book a flight for May from Oslo in plus however after seeing this may reconsider. Thanks Dan :)
Welcome back to the plane life! Never tried SAS before. Google says it's expensive but should be a bit luxurious
That's less service than on my 45 min KLM flight in economy two weeks ago.
I had a couple of flights on SAS this summer (AMS-CPH-OSL-BOO, LYR-OSL, OSL-LHR) and wasn't too impressed either. Admittedly that was on Youth Go Smart tickets, but I literally only received a bottle of water once, on the flight from Svalbard. They didn't even provide anything on the flight to London...
Even your competitors know that your videos are simply .... Much betta!!!!
Drag and Flying, ugh, all the reasons I wanted to be Pam Ann growing up!🌹♥️🤗
Hahaha thank you Daniella! Pam Ann is hilarious😂
I've flown with SAS only once (Berlin via Copenhagen to Tokyo) and was economy class. But after the flight I had decided "I NEVER fly SAS".
The crews were really nice but the service was just not good at all, that also included the entertainment programs.
I just couldn't believe the flight was more expensive than AirFrance/KLM! They have so much better service than SAS.
I relly hope that they will improve their service!
I bought business class from Chicago to Madrid with Air France. Totally agree with you on these "business" class seats, I had a layover in Paris and the flight from Paris to Madrid had the smallest seat I've seen...why pay extra.
The front lavatory is probably used for the cabin crew. These are safety precautions duo to COVID.
As a Norwegian I have to say that SAS is a disgrace to all of us Scandinavians. We deserve a better “national” airline. As you mentioned, it’s not the crew’s fault but the guys at the top who doesn’t understand the aviation business. If KLM, Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa etc can do it and still make a profit there is no reason why SAS can’t do it. A bottle of water in Plus on a 2+ hour flight is embarrassing. There is no other word to describe it.
Nice to see those Air India boarding passes in the background 😁
Waiting for more credit card tips to max out free business class 😀. Thank u for all tips
Prior to this terrible Covid19 crisis SAS were already costcutting to the extreme, no lounge access for *Gold members at contract lounges, a ridiculous expensive plus product which is a complete joke and now about the only European legacy carrier without any service during this pandemic.In Norway Wizz is starting up domestic routes as of November, let's hope the SAS board will wake up and take Dan's critiscm in this video at heart before it's too late. I won't be holding my breath however...
Which is the airport to land in London? Trying to plan my UK trip for I hope May if this virus is slowing up.
Oscar’s facial expression is comedy gold, lol! He acted like as if you guys are about to crash... lol!
I'm looking forward to getting to fly again. It will probably be in summer 2021, so i have a long time to wait still
Hey Dan can you do a piece on the airlines that are Currently offering full service
You should try aegeans new product, I would live to find out what you think of them!!!!
I flew through T5 at heathrow in august and social distancing was very good so was the on board service from BA
What was it like returning to Heathrow?
Great to see airline reviews again... :)
We are closed off from international travel until October 2021... and I am pretty glad of that if that’s all we are offered!!
When is the next Singapore airlines video happening? I am interested to know what the pandemic service is like.
This doesn't even look like an Economy Plus. It looks like a regular Economy, for goodness sake. I
Unfortunately being a SAS Plus passenger on short-haul flights does not automatically entitle you to free wifi any longer.
Love you videos!❤️❤️❤️ Never stop
Thanks Adrian🙏🙏
Hello Dan, truly like your videos. This one on SAS for me is quite timely. I’m looking to go to Sweden either at the end of the year or within the first quarter of 2021. I was not impressed with SAS. After watching your video I’m even less impressed. I realize it was only a short haul flight, but really. Any recommendations on what airline to fly from the states to Stockholm? Again, really like your videos keep them coming.
Try Austrian Airlines via Vienna
Pre-pandemic, my choice would have been KLM or Finnair. Now, I'd choose Austrian or Brussels Airlines since they've maintained regular service😊
Nonstop Dan - Many thanks.
Thank you for the Baga Chipz shout out
ive seen SAS planes on Big Jet TV, is that the special Ops guys from like Call Of Duty? is it military planes?
You should try flying Asian carriers like Cathay Pacific next time... They serve full hot meals for business class passengers even on short-haul flights during the pandemic.
Incredible review Dan 👍👍👍
Thanks
"You and me over the interests of the company." Believe me, American Airlines never got that memo.
Hahaha Bagachips making it ‘much betta’ 💪🏼😂🤣. I will be flying SAS for the first time tomorrow ! Wish me luck 🙏🏼
I spent in 2018 me and my dad 3400$$ on sas business class the flight was from GOT-Ladventer to Beirut rafic al hariri airport every single year i go to sweden 🇸🇪 my family is there. they didn’t give us a bottle of water 💧 i was like WTFFFF i asked the flight attendant she told me no meals or anything like just to buy a meal there was NOTHING a 8 hours flight like hell. :( (so shocked) it wasn’t like this before:( i hope u see this Dan. Much love 💕
@bjorn pilot will not be happy to hear this lol, but great point dude. good on u to bring this up, even as we are exited to ell be flying.
Love your vids Dan!
ruclips.net/video/OzdL-k0jA2c/видео.html
lmao when you were like when they gave me this water it was too much lol omg you had me fall off the bed in laughter lol
wait a second 1:39 - never been terribly good??? XD is this just me??
For me the state of airports (your Heathrow example is excellent) and the lack of any in flight experience is the main reason I'm travelling nowhere during the pandemic. Yes this probably means at this point I won't be travelling for maybe another 2 years but so be it. Were I to be travelling long haul it would most likely be in business so given the cost at the moment the level of service they can provide is never going to meet expectation or come anywhere close. I could consider a short haul but the lack of any social distancing or enforced standards at UK airports - no thanks.
Yes!!!!!!!! More videos are coming
12:12 Random fact but I realised 'economy' is probably spelt the same in Malay as in Swedish
Sas is not the only airline to send employees home during covid to delay refunding.
I have 398 dkk swimming and the request have already been send to Michael O'leary to pay
Have yet to see the doh so i asked mastercard to take up the fight.
Norwegian has been forced to pay up as well.
And KLM as well.
There is a notice from danish authorities that they will be reported to the police
Dan--glad U R back!!!!!!
Nice video. But the blocked forward lavatory is a new covid procedure for many airlines including LH, LX, OS, AF, KL and AZ. I know it’s mainly in aircraft which have only one forward lavatory, as this is the one the cockpit will use, and due to corona they are mandated by EASA to block one toilet for crew use. This is a temporary EASA directive until the corona situation is controlled
Eyvind, the CCO, got fired 2 years ago
Jah, well. I used to fly so much on SAS that i was a gold member. That means that i flew a minimum of 45 flights in a year with SAS. Cabin service always good and Scandinavian. But it’s not a great airline. Communication is terrible when it comes to flight cancellations. Restricting benefits for gold customers without notice. The best part was the usage of Star Alliance lounges. Usch SAS, inte bra.
Sir you ate the best thank you so much
Do review LHR-DEL route on Spicejet
Hey Dan! Haven’t watched it yet but I’m sure it’s gonna be great!!! FINALLY,we have savage Dan Back!!! BTW,Love from India!❤️. Edit:- The clip that you shot at 6:16 is GORGEOUS! Is it shot from the 11 Pro Max?!
ruclips.net/video/OzdL-k0jA2c/видео.html
Yes shot on iPhone! Thanks Mayank😍
Non stop entertaining should be your new name. and finaly savage dan is back
Social distancing - Going on an airplane. You can only chose one, kingen 😉
For someone who lives in South Korea, the whole continent of Europe seems like a giant LHR without social distancing shown in this video.
I have a massive bone to pick with SAS. With Covid my Danish fiance and I are only able to see each other due to special circumstances with the government, but I have to fly direct. From my area the ONLY airline that offers a direct flight to CPH is SAS. You'd think because these massive planes are nearly empty they would lower prices (like every other airline...ever) oh NO I'm paying MORE than I usually do at almost $1300 for ECONOMY. Talk about a monopoly doing people dirty in a time of need. :( On top of that..service sucks and is not worth even $500 RT. :(
Imagine what cost cutting would look like with Spirit Airlines 😂
No more cost cutting possible😂
1 leg in the plane 1 leg out🤣
Cardboard seats and only one engine
It’s not cost cutting it’s passengers safety you fools 😲😲😲
Swede Potato Pie So your saying a pre packaged meal would put passengers in danger? Even BA has a free meal service to economy passengers now. Instead of the M&S buy food option.
Soon it won’t be a problem anymore! Just heard Wizzair will expand in Norway (they’ll base 2 aircraft at OSL to fly OSL-BGO 4x daily, OSL-TRD 4x daily and OSL-TOS 2x daily (!)). It won’t come as a suprise to me if they’ll continue to expand in Scandinavia!
And I deeply hope that Norwegians will not chose to fly with Wizzair. An airline that is social dumping and is deeply hurting aviation. Fly SAS or even Norwegian to fly with an airline that protects its employees.
KiloLimaMike you’re totally right. My comment was meant sarcastically, never will I fly wizzair or it’ll be my only option.
Does the fact that this is SAS Ireland not change anything? Isn't their service inferior to mainline SAS as SAS Ireland is used as cost cutting technique with staff that is paid less, and sometimes has less experience?
Or are these flights not SAS Ireland during COVID? Does anyone know what's happening with SAS Ireland during these times?
Those seats look like the normal, not-terribly-ergonomic, cheap seats found in tourist class on every airline in the world.
So much being a self proclaimed travel expert and not realising there's a table in the seat!
Ikr, he just puts a negative impact on many airlines.. Unsubscribed
- I keep watching your videos and try to find something genuine about you , but I can’t !
This Sunday big turning. 26 yeasold
SAS are basically bankrupt. They need to do some painful shrinking, restructure and start again.
As a Swedish I fly Norwegian. SAS has cost us taxpayer billions as the pump money year after year in to that airline..
I have never had a good experience on sas. Not in checkin, not airside andnoton the airplane. Whenever i can i try and fly norwegian when i am in scandinavia
When you end up bringing the BA catering onto SAS. Got to love M&S.
Totally agree with you Dan! Im also from sweden and prefer other airline over SAS actually. Not a fan of SAS
3.52 - are you sweating?
I am sure SAS will watch this video no worries 🇸🇪😍
Super see you dan
Are you swedish?
Tell em dan..
I got an SAS ad lmao
LOL!
I was very interested in watching this video. I stopped flying SAS more than 15 years ago after my wife and I had the following experience.
We live in Melbourne Australia. We had booked a first class round the world fare using Thai to Stockholm, SAS to Copenhagen, and Bruxelles. I was informed that SAS only had business class on their European legs. We accepted this and we were allocated two first row seats during our booking.
Great was my surprise when our boarding passes had us seated in the last row from Stockholm. I queried this only to be told by the check-in agent that SAS only offered economy in Scandinavia. Furthermore, we were not SAS frequent flyers, so we were seated in the back. He could not care less that our fare was first class.
I complained to the SAS office in Sydney on our return. They told me it was my responsibility to ensure they offered the service we had paid for!
Are you surprised we do not fly SAS on our yearly trip? We flew Lufthansa from Barcelona to Tromsø last year to avoid SAS even though they only offered one weekly flight.
By the way, we were charged a full unrestricted business class fare on the Stockholm to Copenhagen leg!
That was 15 years ago. Talk about holding a grudge..
KiloLimaMike absolutely. I swore SAS would not get any more of my money after this incident where they charged me in excess of $3,000 for the one hour flight.
@@Peringrid $3,000?!?! Mate, you robbed yourself…
@@jatterhog I surely were
I agree that SAS should not be using fare codes like J, C, D, Z, and I for SAS Plus if they are not going to be treating it like Euro business.
I see no reason why they can't limit SAS Plus within Europe to Y, S, B, P, and A and for awards they could use N, although Perhaps having N as a short-haul SAS Plus award might be a problem because many Star Alliance programs can't book premium economy except on their own airline (ie Aeroplan) - and it seems for this reason they are usually booked into "I" and classed as business, but of course it is SAS plus just like it would be otherwise, with no blocked middle seat.
If someone is connecting from a long-haul business class ticket to short-haul SAS Plus, they should just book the short-haul into Y or B as it happens on LH sometimes.
NOW... I personally got amazing value from SAS Plus earlier this year. The flights I had were booked into "A" (SAS Plus Smart) - and the fare was very reasonable considering what it included. I had two bags with me and didn't pay a cent extra for them. I also got lounge access and all the priority stuff at the airport, oh and of course there was food on board, which was excellent on both flights. For what I paid (around $135 CAD for each of TXL-ARN and ARN-AMS) it was an amazing value - especially since the base fare for EasyJet was around $90 CAD per leg at the time including absolutely nothing. I even got 125% Aeroplan miles.
I also felt the quality of everything was no doubt better than EasyJet. I even got an entire row of seats to myself on both flights.
I would happily go for SAS Plus again if the price is right.
tror att det var första gången jag hörde dig prata svenska :)
If you need a good scandinavian Airline i would definetly reccomend norwegian airshuttle, they fly from billund, oslo, copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki etc basically every major international airport in northern europe. They fly from these airports to asia and africa and america thus short haul flights all around europe, why are they so good you May ask? Well. Norwegian is a low cost Airline offering ammence service and the food is good Even on short haul flights thus the crew are happy pretty much every flight ive talen on Them.
Just to remind myself an asian of how inflated prices are in scandinavia, I just have to remember that they sell swedish air in a can for the same price of 5kg of rice here where I'm from😂
wow an Aer Lingus A330 at LHR. That's unusual.
Quite common at the moment.
I’m waiting for Bjorn pilots comment 🤣
It’s a bit cheeky of them to stick to this non-service. Like night and dag to Lufthansa, they has become my gateway to 🇸🇪 from 🇬🇧 as of late.
At least they allow you to eat your own meal. Some airlines don't even give permission for that.
I'm so late but a lot of ppl say SAS is like a low-cost airline. Perhaps they should either give it more many or just split it into the three respective countries with three flag carriers
