Scandinavian Airline Systems (SAS) quietly celebrated the inaugural flight of one of its three new Airbus A321LR aircraft this week – which took place between two of its Nordic hubs, Copenhagen and Oslo.
This in anticipation of the fleet’s full service starting in March 2022. The flight gave BusinessClass.com a first look at the new SAS Business Class cabin and it looks rather smart!
The A321LR is a single aisle, narrow-body aircraft which SAS has configured for long haul routes. The SAS A321LR will carry 157 passengers in three classes and SAS Business will feature 22 fully flat seat beds. The Business Class cabins has 7 rows – in an alternating 2-2 and 1-1 seating pattern.
There are six “throne seats” in rows 2, 4 and 6 – ideal for the solo traveller – who will enjoy extra space, comfort, and privacy. The seat comes in a light grey hue with splashes of SAS blue. Every seat has inflight entertainment screens and power sockets. Passengers can also expect an inflight service similar to that of the rest of the SAS long haul fleet.
SAS is taking initial delivery of three A321LRs – which can fly non-stop from Scandinavia to the Middle East, India, Canada, and northeast USA.
SAS expects that the latest generation A321LR will reduce climate-impacting emissions by around 15-18 percent compared to that of an equivalent size aircraft from the previous generation. It will also create less noise, making that Business Class experience all the better.
The new A321LR also features new and comfortable seats in a 2-2 configuration in SAS Plus, the Premium Economy offering of the Scandinvian carrier.
Brightly colored buildings contrast with pale Scandinavian stone, locals bike along cobbled streets and the sun bounces off the water that slices the city.Welcome to Copenhagen. A big city of 1.3 million in a small country of just 5.6 million, Denmark’s capital is the hottest place in Europe right now and — spoiler alert — it isn’t down to the weather.
The easy everyday life of Scandinavia combined with Nordic style, world-class food, and a safe, clean, green environment makes Copenhagen just as “wonderful” as the Danny Kaye song always said. Famously understated Copenhageners have known forever that they live in the capital of cool — they just don’t like to brag about it. But now, everyone’s catching on. Copenhagen is home to the two best restaurants on the planet, it’s the safest city in the world and boasts the coolest neighborhood to boot.

Britain formally exited the bloc at the start of this year but the two sides have been in talks to resolve difficulties over trade between Britain and Northern Ireland, a British province that shares a land border with EU member Ireland.
