Background & Booking
During my last Europe Trip as part of one Premium Economy (SAS Plus) Ticket, my intra-Europe short-haul legs were in the new SAS Business Class product. I flew on three segments, all onboard the Airbus A320neo, from Stockholm to Copenhagen, Copenhagen to London, and London to Oslo.
The SAS Business Class on intra-European routes is a big upgrade over the SAS Plus service the carrier offered for years. As part of the carrier joining SkyTeam, SAS brought back business class for intra-Europe flights as of late 2025, with blocked middle seats, a curtain dividing cabins, and meals served with silverware.
Also, if you’re interested, I reviewed my international Premium Economy legs if you’d like to read those reviews on the A330 & A321 LR.

Check-In and At the Airport
At each airport, we were able to use the Sky Priority check-in desks, and they were all quick and efficient, except some of the Sky Priority staff at London (LHR), who were quite rude and talking amongst themselves. Our Business Class tickets also came with “Fast Track” security at each airport, which made the security queues almost non-existent and smooth.
Lounges
A SAS Business Class ticket grants you lounge access. We were able to access the SAS Lounges in Stockholm (ARN) & Copenhagen (CPH), as well as the Lufthansa Business Lounge in London Heathrow (LHR). It was nice to have a spot to relax before the flight. You can check out my reviews of each below if you are interested.

Boarding & the Business Class Cabin
Boarding was generally scheduled to commence 30 minutes before departure, and depending on the flight, they could move the curtain in order to add more rows of Business Class, or fewer depending on demand. On one flight, we had 7 rows of SAS Business Class, and on others, only 4. The middle seat is blocked, but otherwise these are the same seats as the economy class cabin.
All the cabins had the same seats and felt similar, despite the age of our aircraft ranging from over 9 years old to just 0.4 years old.
According to aeroLOPA, Rows 2 to 10 offer 30 inches of pitch, while most of the rest of the aircraft offers 29 inches (Rows 14 to 29).
There are no universal power outlets, just USB-A ports next to the tray table.
Starlink Wi-Fi was available on this newer Airbus A320neo, and free for SAS EuroBonus passengers and Three Customers. It’s funny because on my next flight, it was the older Wi-Fi, but still free for the same EuroBonus passengers, and then on my last flight there was just no Wi-Fi available. So, on the same aircraft type, there were 3 different Wi-Fi scenarios on 3 separate occasions.
Dining
For the service, they actually were quite good and efficient, especially on my shorter legs. They started with a beverage service, then served a full meal. But oddly enough, all 3 flights included the same dessert, a Mango Opera Cake, which was pretty tasty, but it would have been nice to have a bit more variety. Proper silverware was also provided.
Two of the flights both had the Spinach Tortelloni, while the other had the Coppa for the main entree. The main entrees were alright, though I liked the crunchy bread they provided (and they also came by with a slice of sourdough). The opera cake was pretty good, though after my 3rd flight it got a bit boring.
The Verdict
Overall, the SAS A320 Business Class was a comfortable way to travel intra-Europe. The priority check-in & security, lounge access, and elevated meal service assisted with a pleasant experience. Though more variety in the food selection, particularly in the desserts, would have been appreciated.
