I traveled on Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) Airbus A350 Polar flight from Los Angeles to Copenhagen. We encountered the spectacular northern light. Can the “new” SAS make it this time after being out of bankruptcy?
Starting my journey from Los Angeles International Airport, all 8 LAX terminals are joined together by an internal walkway so you can transit easily across terminals. I visited the Air France lounge briefly before taking my first SAS A350 flight. SAS pioneered the Polar route which links Scandinavia and Los Angeles since 1954.
I explore all the cabins of the SAS A350 and check out their food and beverage offerings. 3 hours into the flight in Northern Canada, the awesome northern light appeared and the best view was from the A350 cockpit. Join me for the landing in Copenhagen with a great view.
During my transit in Copenhagen, I visited the SAS lounge briefly before joining another SAS flight to Amsterdam onboard the A320neo. During the flight, the pilot demonstrated several fuel and emission-saving initiatives, such as starting one engine during taxi, constant descend approach (CDA), and taxi on one engine.
Sam, Hope you sort out this issue with Josh and the both of you make a video together to clear up any discrepancies.
Sam, I'm sorry but I disagree with @Robert_Shannon. My view is that you should stand up for yourself and stop letting Josh push you around. Stand up like a man and give it to him. A lot of us would support you if you did. 🤛
My family flew on the SAS DC 6 from Copenhagen to Los Angeles in 1957 when we immigrated to Canada. There were two refueling stops in Greenland and Winnipeg. The total trip took nearly 24 hours
There is something romantic about a journey like that!
That Danish accent of the pilot cannot be mistaken
The Danish accent is unmatched
Yep, I picked up on it, right away.
On@@SuiGenerisAbbie
@@FastGuy1 only sounding silly'er by ze germanz.... the 2 worst accents :D
Not just a danish accent but it is clear he is from Copenhagen city.. people from outside Copenhagen don’t have an accent as strong as this one
Looks really nice. Awesome shot of the northern lights!
Northern lights are amazing! I flew SAS business class last year from LAX to Copenhagen. The service, food, seat all were excellent, love that they present food on a trolley. Awesome video!
I love the old school style food service 😅
I really like it, feels like they care about and respect the food, making it even more delicious.
FINALLY a SAS flight
I like SAS. The crew feel very professional and nice. The service looks very modern, with appeal. Thx Sam. Try not to run late for a flight..
The Northern light makes it all the more heavenly 😍😍
I flew on the exact same plane and the exact same seat (9H) from Copenhagen to Tokyo earlier this year! Absolutely loved it. And now we are seat brothers.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Cringe
Thanks for sharing your seat. Video would have not been possible.
did you disinfect the seat before sitting down i would of knowing that Sam aka nasty piece of work had sit there
@@SamChuisort your reputation out
You're so lucky to get to see such amazing scene and to make it more special, from the pilot view.
Yayy you finally flew SAS ive only flied on the smaller aircrafts but flying on a big aircraft with SAS feels like a dream to me 🇸🇪
Nice video. However I'm a little concerned by what I hear from another content creator. Perhaps a face to face sit down to straighten out the whole thing would be a positive.
I have not flown SAS in a while but I remember they did serve my favorite coffee from Sweden call Gevalia and now that’s the coffee I drink in the morning everyday love that coffee…
the A350's logo on the glass😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I always enjoy the SAS lounge at Copenhagen Airport - very light and refreshing - although it can get pretty busy at certain times in the day.
Great that you got to see the amazing Northern Lights from the cockpit - what a breathtaking experience 😃
I flew with SAS A350 on business class from Copenhagen to Tokyo in july last year. My experience was really nice. I was really bored at home playing video games and at 3 in the morning, 4 days left of my vacation i saw an advertisement on my pc about SAS. 1 hour later i bought business class tickets to Tokyo. I arrived at the airport in Ålesund 1.5 hours after i booked my flight. I first took an early flight from Vigra to Gardemoen oslo airport at 6 AM and then from Oslo to Copenhagen some hours later. I stayed in Tokyo for 2 days before going back to Norway because i had work 😅 All this because i had a bad game on Call of duty 😂
Just landed home in CPH from Bangkok, I was in 10H and had an amazing flight! I love how friendly and helpful the SAS crew always is. Always choose SAS if possible when I travel!
I took the reverse flight in 2012. I was in Economy. The flight attendants were not nice. You also had to pay for wine, which I thought was silly for a long haul flight.
I love SAS's innovative approach to saving fuels and protecting the environment at yhe same time. Well done!
SAS wow at least today i have learned what this means Ive always wondered but with no answer thank you SAM
My first flight to Europe was on SAS, First Class on the 747-200 combi from Seattle (via Oslo) to Copenhagen. Epic doesn't begin to describe it. Like you, it's been 34 years since I last flew on SAS (working for UAL, AZA and now RPA, I would really have to go out of my way to fly via Copenhagen. When I was flying on them regularly, I was back and forth between Seattle and Europe constantly and was only flying SAS. After a long absence, SAS will return to Seattle next May...I am giving serious thought to taking the inaugural...we shall see.
Thanks again Sam!
Beautiful polar lights!
I love the Danish cheeses! The Northern Lights are really neat! I have never seen it during the flight.
I've been waiting for Sam to make a video about SAS for so long now😊😊
Yes
Thanks. I was trying for some time but it was hard to catch SAS without going out of my way. But finally, I made it and love it!
@@SamChui Hi Sam hope you do a Turkish Airlines Video again to Chile 🇨🇱 it starts flying December 12th from Istanbul
@@TK1752 Wait WHAT? ... Direct flight from Constantinoble to Chile?
Damn, that is a LONG way!
Edit: You were not kidding!

@ nooooo
Hello, glad to see your new post.,.Your videos are very interesting and entertaining. You are always polite to the airline personnel. Please continue to post
i really like the cabin design of SAS. nice 👌🏼
They serve the old fashioned way. 😊. That's refreshing to see from what's norm today.
What's the difference?
@@JosGeerink Most carriers will now take business class passengers' orders, plate them in the gallery and bring them individually to your seat, like ordering à la carte in a restaurant.
Hello Sam, good to see your update.
Wow! SAS has come a long way since my last flight in business class SEA/CPH on an A340-300 and return back in 2006. While the service was "acceptable" it was hardly in the top tier. Its wonderful to see the upgraded product, and particularly the return of the trolley service in the premium cabin. Reminds me of my good old days on SIA. Happy to see SK achieve new heights and I wish them well! Si now I'd like to see if their "neighbor" AY (Finnair) will come up with something similar. I have always loved Finnair!
i love that they use chefs jackets to serve their food. thats unique and kind of appropriate
Love your attitude and work! You bring out the best in the hard working people of the airline industry. They feel and appreciate your positivity and it’s obvious that they love having you on board. Perhaps Josh could learn something and not be such a sour puss! Thanks Sam for making your videos so much fun to watch 🙏🏻
Really cool video. SAS is awesome!
The SAS livery is stunning. Modern yet classy and chic.
I Love The Exterior Cameras.Like The SAS Business Class Product.Great Video And Info
Nice flight review as usual Sam, the inflight service of SAS is top notch.
Its great pleasure watching your videos and waiting for next video to release everytime. Continue your great job. Thanks for making such wonderful videos
Flew on SAS once in 2016, me and my family and it was a new A320 (I think), great crew service and even though it was a short flight, I felt very relaxed.
very lucky with northern lights views❤❤❤
Very simple and beautiful business class...
It's a nice bonus to get espresso / cappuccino on these SAS flights + the barista counter at the CPH lounge is lovely (and the cheese slicer obviously).
Thanks Sam for bringing SAS closer to us, although I would have loved to see what the economy looks like. Yet, you've done a great job. Keep it up 🎉
What a lovely crew!
Hi Sam! I happen to work at the SAS lounge in CPH, and I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
Very nice video. So nice to hear you liked the flight with SAS 🇸🇪🇩🇰🇳🇴🙂✈️
I love it, thanks for sharing your SAS flight, Ive plane spotted sas landing at lax a few times, its awesome!
Amazing flight review.
As usual a wonderful video!! Thanks Sam!
Great route, indeed! It's also fascinating to experience multiple sunsets or sunrises! I hope to experience it one day!
Amazing video about my favourite airline!
he literally always gets special service. wish I got that
SAS gave good luck to Sam Chui! 😀
And cash
Another great travel video. Thanks Sam!
We took a trans polar flight years ago to Paris, with Japan Airlines via Anchorage, they even had their own people working there at the duty free!
Filipino or Filipina are everywhere nice ❤❤❤
Ohhh my ... just look at that cockpit view of the northern light ... absolutely the worlds best office view! 😲😲😲😲😱😱😱😱👌👌👌👌
Atlast you make a video about SAS
Always enjoy your videos !
Fantastic new report! Huge fan.
If I were American I would only choose European airlines, hereunder SAS when going between US and Europe. One thing is the better food, not least on SAS, but the delay/cancellation protections is SO much better than any of the US based airlines. AND it´s no hassle. Over a certain amount of hours you are offered either rebooking on other airlines or free hotel etc. You are also getting financial compensation in relation to delays. Same goes for internal EU flights.
Well said!! 👏🏽
Much of it is simply EU laws.
Consumer protection is big in the EU, long mandated warranty when you buy stuff, right to return for full refund, privacy data protection and so on.
@@bzdtemp Yes, and therefore it works and are hassle free and fast happening, not some odd compensation after 6 months because some media picked up on it, as you sometimes get the thought it works in some nations.
This is really nice but as a majority of people do not fly Business or first class.. I think I would have loved to have seen economy class. I think that is what is missing from a lot of flight reviewers
Absolutely people are too rich
It’s because Sam is a UA-camr and he’s so used to flying first class or business class that he can’t bare sitting in economy for more than an hour.
Who cares. People want the luxury impression. I salute Sam Chui for making this north pole route. Its a proud moment for all Scandinavians
Companies don’t pay to review economy class
@remmond3769 There are some economy class experiences that are notoriously worse than others, guess this is a moving target as years go by. So yes, I'm interested in those reviews as that's where I'll be sitting 99 per cent of the time. First and Business Class reviews are simply entertaining if, perhaps, not demoralizing for some.
Very good video, the Airbus a350 is a unique aircraft in terms of design ( from economy class to first class) 👍🏻👍🏻❤
i interesting video and like the way the service was and also the A350x glasses very smart
I have flown this leg. I also the remember the old SAS First Class experience JFK- ARN🙂. Cheers.
Must have been a long time ago...I believe SAS stopped long-haul first class in 1988 and was probably the first European airline to make that decision.
@@alexmcwhirter6611 Correct, it was in the 70s, when I was a kid, before Business class was introduced by the CEO Jan Carlzon.
@@andersfant4997 Indeed. I remember the days of Jan Carlzon well. It was Jan Carlzon who made SAS the most innovative airline in Europe at that time.
Really great crew from SAS! Thanks for finally flying SAS!! 😍
Nice Video Sam. Looking forward to the Ice Hotel
Walked from TBIT to T7 airside at LAX several months ago instead of taking the shuttle bus. It was fairly well sign-posted, and a little crowded at several locations, but in general, it's a good way to stretch the legs, see some planes, and observe some of the security lines in action.
sam should be ambassador of all airlines of the world
No he should be the billboard of bribery
Que bueno, está doblado al español, gracias Sam, saludos
Love video ❤
That Denglish accent of the pilot is classic 😂😂
Well done dear Sam!
Simply amazing tripreport always.
SAS is a really interresting airline...
I will planing for 2025 flying with SAS to Skandinavia and will starting with Miles by SAS Eurobonus.
Sam nice video but like you were gonna miss your flight not, crew were waiting for you, free ticket? 🤔😉😁
Great video. I liked that they put up that pic for you at the lounge 😊
Yeah, no financial strings attached at all.
Loved the pilots accent 😊
❤🎉 hello 👋 Sam , good to see you 😊 watching from the Mid west in Minnesota love 💕 your videos at All .
Yay SAS Joined skyteam!
You can hate on SAS but they sure have made a comeback!
Yes they have. Bravo!
Great Video❤
Did not have the time to watch the whole video but hoped you had a nice flight with them! My father has worked for them for over 30years and has really worked his ass off. Myself has allways had a good trip with them so hope you had one to! :)
Hey Sam ! Come to Sri Lanka During this season. The best travel destination in the world for solo women travellers aswell...
Greetings from from 🇱🇰❤🎊
Great video sam
the best airline...
Ima start taxiing like that whenever I play the SAS livery in msfs
Im From Sweden, Love the old look of Scandinavian Airlines System ( SAS )
The color of the flags from the 3 countries that form SAS. Sweden, Norway & Denmark painted in the under the front of the plane..... memories
SAS DC-10 had that plane on the wall as young 😀👍❤
Thank u Sam for a great chanel 👍
I first saw SAS A330 at Tokyo in 2019.
Fantastic ! ✈️👍
Wow, you got your own big signage!
Thanks for the SAS video. I’m from Denmark myself, so I enjoyed every moment 😊 🇩🇰
Thank you Sam.
Dear Sam.. regards from panama.. I always watch your videos
SAS reminded me of British Special Service.
Sam, have to say, you set a very bad example of being late for your aircraft. You know how it affects others with connecting flight. Anyway, always love the A350, without doubt the best aircraft in the sky. Loved the clean look of the interior and the food looked good too! Love the livery SAS in grey, very subtle.
Me encantas todos estos video muy entretenidos.👍🇲🇽
To the aviation and watch geeks there was a watch by Universal Geneve called the Polerouter, they were issued to SAS crew and also available to the public market.
Thanks for a great video Sam - SAS Business Class looks really comfortable - interesting how much space they dedicate to galley area at the back of the plane! Really good to hear how they are trying to conserve fuel through implementing CDA and reducing engine use on the ground... with the overall effect of also being somewhat more environmentally friendly. Nice that you could ride up front on the way to Amsterdam - that's cool. I contracted to CHC in SA for many years, and once flew out to one of their bases in the cockpit jump seat on a Convair 580 (I think) - beautiful plane - it was good fun! Thanks for sharing and see you next time!
That's great, so glad to hear you flew on the Covair 580, something I missed. Must be golden experience now!
SamChui ure just a fake person 🥱👎🏼
Sam is flying SAS from my home country. Me like.
I am from Sweden myself and I really like this country. The Jukkasjärvi ice hotel is nice and quite unique but if you dont like long cold winter days I would really recommend a visit to Sweden around the Midsummer timeframe (Late june) whom has long days and summer sun all day up in north. The capital of Stockholm is wonderfull in the summer and you I could recommend a one or two days ferry trip to either Helsinki or Åbo cause of its amazing archipelago. Midsummer is a realy special Swedish holiday and Skansen in Stockholm is well known for its celebration of it.
Arlanda is also a neat airport even if its not as big as Copenhagen is. We have tons of countryside to visit to. J.
I have never clicked video so fast
Finally a 6min post I am new and this is the sas air a350 0:35
Lovely business class cabin in their A350! My last SAS flight was about as long ago as yours, about 25 years, Amsterdam-Stockholm-Amsterdam, on a Super 80. I don't know if you had the same experience with SAS smoking policy that I did. When smoking was permitted during flight, every other airline put the smoking section in the rear of Economy and the back row of First. Not SAS. Their smoking section was all seats on the starboard side. Non-smoking was all seats on the port side. Basically, the entire plane was filled with smoke. I never flew them again. It was awful.
SAS upgrading its fleet, I wish that one day I will be able to fly by SAS.
