SAS Business on the A350-900 and A330-300, non-stops from about ten US cities to Copenhagen plus New York flights to Oslo and Stockholm, life in SkyTeam since 2024, and the few flights where the seat is different.
SAS Business on its long-haul widebodies is the Thompson Vantage XL seat in a staggered 1-2-1 layout: 40 seats on the A350-900 and 32 on the A330-300. Every seat converts to a flat bed and has direct aisle access, and the A350 version adds an 18-inch HD touchscreen and a 78-inch bed.
Because the layout is staggered, some window seats sit right against the window and others closer to the aisle. Solo travelers usually prefer the true window seats; we can request specific rows.
SAS flies three narrow-body A321LRs across the Atlantic on some routes. Business has 22 lie-flat seats in alternating 2-2 and 1-1 rows, with a 73-inch bed. The single seats are excellent; window passengers in the paired rows lack direct aisle access.
SAS serves Copenhagen non-stop from Atlanta, Boston, Chicago O'Hare, Washington Dulles, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, with Seattle in summer and Miami in winter. New York also has non-stops to Oslo and Stockholm, across Newark and JFK.
For winter 2026/27 SAS is adding about 70% more seats to Boston, 20% to San Francisco and 10% to Chicago, and two more A350s join the long-haul fleet. Atlanta moved to the A350 in June 2026.
SAS left Star Alliance on August 31, 2024 and joined SkyTeam the next day. Air France-KLM, already a shareholder, has agreed to take a majority stake, subject to EU approval. Since the switch, EuroBonus points can be used on SkyTeam partners such as Delta, Air France and KLM.
EuroBonus does not take transfers from Amex, Chase, Citi or Capital One. US travelers who want to use points usually book SAS through a SkyTeam partner program; otherwise a contracted cash fare is the simplest route.
The SAS Lounge in Copenhagen Terminal 3 serves Schengen departures. US flights leave from the non-Schengen area, so confirm which lounge you can use for your departure when you book. SAS has announced a much larger flagship lounge in Copenhagen for June 2027.

SAS fares vary widely by gateway and season, so we quote them per date. Contracted fares typically come in 30-60% below the published SAS fare for the same flight, and the winter shoulder months price lowest.
SAS flies non-stop to Copenhagen from Atlanta, Boston, Chicago O'Hare, Washington Dulles, Los Angeles, San Francisco and the New York area, with Seattle in summer and Miami in winter. From New York it also flies to Oslo and Stockholm.
SkyTeam. SAS left Star Alliance on August 31, 2024 and joined SkyTeam on September 1, 2024, so it now partners with Delta, Air France and KLM rather than United or Lufthansa.
On the A350-900 and A330-300, yes: a staggered 1-2-1 layout where every seat reaches the aisle. On the three A321LRs that fly some transatlantic routes, Business alternates 2-2 and 1-1 rows, so window passengers in the paired rows step over a neighbor.
EuroBonus does not take transfers from the major US bank programs, so most US travelers book SAS awards through SkyTeam partners when award space is released. Otherwise a contracted cash fare is usually the simplest option.
