Review of SAS flight Gothenburg → Stockholm in Business

Conclusion

Even though SK+ is sold as a J product on some other outlets (on UA and Lifemiles it is considered J for award redemption), it is in reality Y+. The lounge access and refundable/changeable ticket are nice features offering flexibility and when the fare is not that different from regular Y, then it is a good value.

Comfortwise I hated not having a blocked middle seat. This is one area where SK could make SK+ fares more attractive.

The crew was smiling and did their job efficiently.

Flight arrived a few minutes late, not a major delay by any means.

  Thanks for sharing this FR
  
  The hotel buffet has a good food offer
  
  The lounge is average and not only because of this cheap prosecco ;)
  
  Not a blocked middle seat when the fare should be quite high : it's a shame
  
  See you soon for the next leg 2014-10-18 13:48:03

  The hotel buffet has a good food offer
  
  It was great and the setting was very comfortable. This confirms once again that Scandinavians are great at buffet breakfasts.
  
  
  The lounge is average and not only because of this cheap prosecco ;)
  
  If you are trying to eat healthy, then this club is for you. Food offering consists mainly of soups and salads. Since I am from California where people try to eat organic and vegetarian, I felt right at home :P

  It depends. Fares can be very high if purchased at the last minute but in my case the difference was marginal so I decided to splurge. I agree that an empty middle seat would have been perfect.
  
  Thanks for your comments as always.

  Thanks for this hotel report ! ( just kidding and the hotel looks nice but the bed is tiny!) The city looks nice but very quiet.
  The lounge looks good but the food and drinks offer seems very limited. Not much to say on such a short flight, except, as you pointed out, that in business the middle seat should be left empty.
  looking forward to the next FR. 2014-10-18 19:59:16

  Most single rooms in Sweden have tiny beds in my limited experience.
  
  It was Sunday afternoon and there were people walking around. I just waited for the right time to take the shots without people. ;)
  
  SAS lounges are not as generous as other European ones. Then again, if you are allowing access to passengers on SK+, you must compensate somehow.
  
  Thanks. 2014-10-22 06:37:19

  Thanks for this FR.
  
  I also have fond memories of breakfast buffets in Scandinavia.
  
  Göteborg really seems quiet on your pictures.
  
  SAS Plus is a good compromise when the fare difference with Y isn't that big. 2014-10-19 12:24:26

  GOT is a nice city that has a relaxing feel and I only wish that I could have explored other areas. Maybe on a future trip.
  
  SK + is a Premium Economy product with Business Class pretensions. ;)
  
  Thank you for your visit.
