      Our checked luggage was within the weight limit so no problem with that. They did not weigh or measure our hand luggage. I have a lot of camera gear for bird photography and with a bit overweight but no problem today. Usually, my camera bag gives the staff at the security control a field day when I arrive:>)

    I’ve only flown SAS one time - it was from LHR to connect with Thai airways in Oslo to Bangkok. I thought it was a bit quirky at the time that tea was free but there was a charge for water 😄 this was around 2015 or 2016 I’m guessing . Certainly nothing wrong with the service . Bit of a budget feeling like our domestic Southwest Airlines.

      We are member in the SAS Eurobonus loyalty program and yes SAS is a member of Star Alliance but only until the end of August when they change to SkyTeam. We often pay our tickets with Eurobonus points that we have have earned from on both traveling and by consumption. SAS has a collaboration with American Express and Master Card so you are able to earn more points. This trip with Asiana was paid with Eurobonus points so it did not cost us so much. On the SAS site you can search for award trips covering all the Star Alliance members so this is what we did and found ASIANA. An advice is to look for ways how to earn mileage or loyalty points to finance your trips. As I mentioned before, we use beside SAS, Amex and MasterCard but so some also car rental companies like AVIS and Sixt that gives us extra point for our trips.

    • @theretiredcoupletravelsthe5603

      its a standard economy seat so the same recline as ordinary economy, just better legroom. No foot rest in bulk head, more space with bulkhead but a disadvantage is having a wall in front of you not able to strech out your feet under the seat

    Air India is seeing huge changes and improvements. Earlier widespread nepotism and corruption resulted in Air India generating almost no revenue from business class and 1st class. Most of the passengers in these cabins were politically connected, senior government officials or people with connections who booked economy class and travelled in business or first class. After the privatization these cabins are 90% occupied by paying customers. However my sources and data analysis indicate that Air India is loosing about 10% to legacy nepotism and corruption by legacy staff. I expect this to come down significantly as the Air India is focusing on these losses.
