SAS new route Seattle to Copenhagen

Interesting. They dropped that route sometime after 2007. I used to fly with them enough in the 1990’s, often enough that my travel partner and I were invited to a celebration of the 50 years of their partnership with Boeing, and the opening of the “polar route”. Only time I have been on the top level of the Columbia Tower.

I last flew with them in 2007, and their service had slipped a lot—they were more like a budget carrier. And no longer an all-Boeing fleet.

This will open up new options for people who like Stat Alliance partners United, Lufthansa, etc.).

Lola, SAS has left Star Alliance. They are now part of SkyTeam (Delta et al.)

Thanks for the info! Any new nonstop is helpful since we have so few.

Yes, SAS left Star Alliance as of this month. Thankfully, my 2 August flights were just before their switch to the Delta Alliance, so I got my United miles and benefits.

It has been 15 years since SAS dropped this route. I am excited that we have the option to fly them instead of Delta, but can use our Delta miles.

They had a quite a dip in the noughties but has since gotten a lot better. So don't be afraid to try them again.

Although SAS has never had an all-Boeing fleet. They've been known for having a very diverse fleet but are now heading towards a mostly-Airbus fleet.
