Which airline do you prefer?

[@speedbird997]

Last may, I found out that the first 10 seats or so in the SAS A320s tend to have more leg-seat seat space that the seats situated at the very back of the plane.
Providing that you can choose this at no additional cost during check-in, I think this may be an advantage when choosing SAS over Norwegian, where all seats have same space.
But that's my opinion right there. Great video guys ! 🎉

Yea, good thought and thank you for your feedback. Since SAS is also offering a premium economy on European flights, this is why they have seats in the front with more legroom.
So, definitely, in general: SAS is offering an anhanced product which is not worth it in my opinion booking it solely. If you are traveling long-haul and connect with them, that’s where you sit when booking premium economy or business.

I think there is little difference between legacy airlines and low cost carriers in economy class in Europe these days. There are a few exceptions (Aegean, Turkish) who offer excellent service but the philosophy now is to cram in as many seats and offer as few extras as possible. I'd probably choose SAS as I like the wider cabin of the A320Neo and the ability to earn Star Alliance miles (soon to be SkyTeam).

Absolutely agree on that. Unfortunately, most airlines went for the low-cost-philosophy because people wanted it. Now we are all complaining about the minor service. Seems like some airlines understood it and try to elevate their service again. I’m curious where this might go.
