Scandinavian Airlines enhances long-haul Business class
SAS Scandinavian Airlines has enhanced its long-haul Business class with a
number of innovations to ensure even simpler and more hassle free traveling. New
features include the introduction of a unique last-minute Business class fare, a
new comfort kit, upgraded audio/video-on-demand and a "breakfast on the go"
concept.
SAS has introduced a Business Class fare that is available right up until
departure and still guarantees a seat in Business. The new A class fare is
available now on all non-stop SAS routes between Copenhagen/Stockholm and
Bangkok, Beijing, Chicago, Dubai, New York, Seattle, Tokyo and Washington DC.
"SAS' new A class ticket is uniquely designed for Business travelers that value
the importance of face-to-face meetings, and have to make last minute travel
decisions and be somewhere in the world at a specific time, even if the flight
is only hours away," says Lars Sandahl Sørensen, Chief Commercial Officer, SAS
International.
"SAS offers greater fare flexibility and more choice than other airlines, and we
now offer customers several Business class fares - from a fully flexible fare to
a more restricted fare, the Fixed Business fare. We also offer full service
class combinability, making it possible to travel in Business one way and
Economy Extra the other. So finding a suitable Business class travel solution
has been made been easier."
Passengers' wellbeing is a key issue for SAS, and as a result of increased
security check-in regulations, Scandinavian Airlines has introduced a new
detachable comfort kit. It is specifically designed to ensure passengers a
smooth passage through security, as one part of the comfort kit is a see-through
one liter bag, in line with security regulations.
With the new SAS Business Sleeper now available on SAS' entire long-haul fleet,
passengers want to enjoy their sleep as long as possible. SAS therefore
introduced the new Grab & Go breakfast concept during summer. Available on
flights arriving in the morning, passengers can opt for the Grab & Go breakfast
bag, including coffee, when exiting their flight.
Furthermore, Scandinavian Airlines has also upgraded its audio/video-on-demand
system with additional audio channels. SAS now offers 30 audio channels and 46
video titles onboard.
