Review SAS inflight service ARN-LAX

They took my coat, served a glass of pre take off champagne, hot towel and handed out menues. Menues look great and like the touch with swedish bleek roe - kind of brings back memories from the times they had caviar service....
SAS new seat has everything you can ask for in a premium seat and all seats have isle access so you dont have to step over people sleeping to go for a wee, finally SAS has a fully flat bed.... took some years but it's great. Tv screen good size and close enough for us 50+ campers to see properly.
The food was top notch and served on china rather than like before , in their foil containers put on a plate.
All in all good but you notice that some consultant has been there and implemented stupid savings. No individual salt and pepper shakers, table cloths too small, napkins have no button hole which I always thaught was a brilliant SAS touch, the so called hästens bedding is s bit of a joke - I mean if it's hästen you expect something extra - it's a thin matress pad and a thin duvet and pillow, the only likeness with hästen beds is the square pattern. I know small things but like I have always said , it's all in the little details.
A note on the service - all very proffesional but they are in a huge hurry to clear your table when you are done which is good but they take your glass and don't offer a refull unless you ask for it..... must create an awful lot o dishes. It felt a bit like you were beeing served by a lutheran housewife - very important to clear table and do dishes asap......
This time I will give SAS 8 out if 10 and with only a few tweeks and if they can keep this level of service on all flights they could very well compete with airlines like quatar and emirates.
Crew was very pleasant, perhaps not with that twinkle in the eye I've learned to love with british airways, but maybe that's a swedish thing....... It felt a bit that the crew actually are beeing a little proud of their airline again, which I don't think they have been for many years.
