The airline explains that it wants to take account of growing customer demand for a more upmarket service. <strong>The current SAS Go, SAS Plus and SAS Business classes will be renamed Economy, Premium and Business.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-un-produit-affaires-plus-consistant-du-court-au-long-courrier\">A more consistent business product from short- to long-haul<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will ensure a clear and recognisable business class product. Business travellers looking for comfort and flexibility should benefit from the new experience. These new semantics should also help the airline to reposition itself in a top-of-the-range segment and to offer its customers a more attractive service. <strong>strengthen<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/sas-copenhague-20241212.html\/\"> the role of Copenhagen<\/a> as a hub<\/strong> between Europe and the rest of the world <strong>with a consistent and more coherent flying experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\" <em>Many of our travellers are concerned about comfort and quality, and expect a clearly defined European business class that meets international standards.<\/em>describes <strong>Paul Verhagen, SAS Sales Director<\/strong>. <em>While SAS Plus offered an improved experience, it lacked the recognition and clarity that travellers were looking for. With the reintroduction of European Business Class, we are ensuring that <strong>SAS offers the premium experience of a leading European airline<\/strong><\/em>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business class will be offered on all international flights in Europe, including Scandinavia. <strong>Sales start on 6 May<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business travellers in Europe will benefit from<strong>priority treatment and lounge access<\/strong>. In flight, <strong>a dedicated cabin at the front of the aircraft<\/strong> will see the central seat neutralised. Each row will offer more space and privacy for each passenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/air-france-klm-sas-20250704.html\/\" data-id=\"203171\">Air France-KLM prepares to become majority shareholder in SAS<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-un-saut-qualitatif-important-pour-la-gastronomie-a-bord\">A quantum leap in on-board gastronomy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The most significant change will concern the catering offer<\/strong>. SAS has worked on a more premium concept, offering greater flexibility in service. In-flight gastronomy will be presented on porcelain crockery accompanied by reusable steel cutlery. A plus which also reflects the airline's greater environmental responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The \"Flavors by SAS\" culinary offer<\/strong>, <strong>will be more diversified<\/strong> with more dishes with international culinary influences. It will replace the current 'New Nordic' menus and will be more fusion-based. <strong>The carrier is also working on greater service flexibility<\/strong> <strong>to better adapt it to flight times<\/strong>and the space available on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <strong>Aron Backstr\u00f6m, SAS Vice President, Products and Loyalty<\/strong>, \" <em>SAS' innovative approach to catering and its rotating menu system establishes <strong>a new standard for in-flight catering<\/strong>. It offers a flexible, customer-focused alternative to traditional, static menus.<\/em>\" . The company also promises to change the composition of its meals more often.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/offre-culinaire-europe-sas.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/offre-culinaire-europe-sas.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-198305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/offre-culinaire-europe-sas.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/offre-culinaire-europe-sas-300x200-derived.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/offre-culinaire-europe-sas-768x512-derived.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The new \"Flavors by SAS\" offer in Europe business class (Photo: SAS)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business Class will be making a comeback on the Scandinavian airline SAS's European offer next autumn, replacing the hybrid product that is the current SAS Plus Class.
