After a nearly two-hour stay at the lounge, it was time to board my flight to Oslo.

Today’s itinerary

Boarding

When I arrived near the gate B7 from which my flight to Oslo is boarding, I noticed a delay of 5 minutes, 9:20 instead of 9:15. Nothing serious but with a 35 minutes connection in Oslo everything becomes critical.

Cabin and welcome

The cabin of this A321 is quite standard at SAS, in shades of gray.

In SAS Plus, there will be no blocked middle seat and I will unfortunately have a seatmate on this flight.

Service and catering

The service starts a few minutes after the seatbelt lights is turned off.

Cardboard lunch boxes are distributed. And I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. Certainly it is not fancy but it is very good.

The coffee, on the other hand, will be disgusting because it is instant.

Arrival and disembarkation

We will arrive a few minutes after the scheduled time, having failed to make up for our delay in flight.

I will only moderately appreciate the passive-aggressive attitude of the main cabin manager and will inform her when I get off of the plane. I know that flight attendants have flight safety missions, but I think that these missions can be carried out with a smile and without assaulting the passengers.

Bottom line

A rather good flight, but the attitude of the crew can ruin everything!
