Within Europe, my sister and I flew with SAS from Copenhagen to Berlin, and Berlin to Oslo, via…read moreStockholm.
First of all, we weren't too impressed with the lack of help when we were trying to check in our luggage for our Copenhagen to Berlin flight. We had a question about something (I can no longer remember what it was about), but the SAS employee, who was sitting at the counter, doing absolutely nothing (because it was self-checkin only, so she had nothing to do) refused to help us. I really don't understand the point of self-checkin--it's not faster or easier for the customers, and it's not saving SAS any money in wages if there is going to be staff there anyway. If they are being paid to stand there, why can't they answer a damn question?!
Second of all, they don't even do a quick tidy between flights. Of course I don't expect them to do a heavy duty cleaning between each flight, which is unnecessary anyway, but surely they can take 15 minutes to do a quick walk through of the plane. I was incredibly unimpressed, and pretty disgusted, to find a coffee cup and spilled coffee all over my seat on our Berlin to Oslo via Stockholm flight.
I brought it to the flight attendant's attention, and she told me to wait until everyone was seated, and she would re-seat me in an empty seat. However, I did not want to change seats because I had an aisle seat and did not want to risk being seated between two random people, and I wanted to remain seated beside my sister. So I demanded that the flight attendant clean it up, as well as bring me a blanket to sit on, as I didn't want to risk staining my clothes.
I would have given SAS another star if it weren't for the coffee incident. It's pretty fucking disgusting to find coffee spilled all over your seat. I hope the asshole who thought it was perfectly acceptable to dump coffee all over an airplane seat lost his luggage or missed his connecting flight.
