An uninspiring and uninteresting flight to end the trip, but nothing more was to be expected from a short connection taken after a short long-haul night flight.
I wasn’t expecting much from this flight and in the end I wasn’t disappointed. We know that SAS’s medium-haul service is far from the level of its long-haul product, and when you consider that we generally arrive rather tired and sleep-deprived from a night flight from the north-east of the United States, everything was in place for this flight to go down in history.
For the record, the air routing for this trip.

Ground experience
When I disembark from my flight from Boston, I have an hour before the departure of the flight to Paris, with the whole airport to cross, and anyone who knows Copenhagen knows that it is quite a distance.
Bad luck, for once the immigration controls are slow with, strangely, one open booth for European passports and four for ‘all passports’.
Too late to change lanes and I’ll just have to be patient…
I finally get through and sprint to the end of the airport to catch my next flight.
Boarding
Of course I didn’t have time to go to the lounge and I arrived at the gate just as boarding was starting.
People are disciplined and wait patiently for the announcement before heading for the gate, so I find myself second in line to enter the jetway.
The cabin
We are dealing with the usual medium-haul cabin of SAS with pretty, very sober grey tones.
The seat is a bit thin for my taste, but the legroom is very decent, even in the front row.
Luckily I won’t have a seatmate on this flight (the SAS plus is premium economy and not business class and the airline doesn’t block the middle seat…).
So absolutely nothing remarkable or exceptional.
The flight
We board on time and boarding will be quite quick, so we will leave on time.
We line up on the runway…Nous nous alignons sur la piste…
Goodbye Copenhagen….
We fly over a small field of wind turbines…
A little later, breakfast is brought to us.
I am rarely inspired by breakfasts, I am not hungry, I am tired, I will eat the cold meats (not bad) and will not touch the rest, preferring to doze until my arrival in Paris.
I wake up shortly before landing.
Arrival
We will arrive on time and I will wait for the luggage to be delivered. Arrival 10.20am, delivery pending displayed at 10.54am, the belt starts up at 58 and the suitcases will arrive in dribs and drabs… Roissy is still as bad as ever on this subject.
Crew
Nice, but I spent the whole time sleeping and didn’t get to test their effectiveness.
Bottom line
A somewhat sad flight to both end this trip and probably end my beautiful story with SAS, which is no longer of interest now that it has joined Skyteam… I prefer to keep the memory of my Boston-Copenhagen flight, which was perfect.
