So I was lucky to get an OK to fly Business Class to/from Europe-USA. Was booked with Delta. Lots of great information on the outbound flight on Deltas website (A359 AMS-DTW) but couldn't find much on how the service/seats are on the return (B767-300 IND-CDG) Is there a big difference as far as comf...

Re: Best and worst airport in Europe???

GDG is the pits, and I don't mean T1. Connecting with AF (main airline at CDG) from a Shengen Country to a long-haul (non-Shengen) Country is terrible. I've flown CPH-CDG-DFW a few times in 2019, and I need at least 90 minutes (running) to transfer. When I can fly KL CPH-AMS-IAH I get through Schiph...

Re: Looking to fly on CityJet's RJ85

If you want to fly a RJ-85 or RJ-100, your best bet is to go to Sweden. Braatens Aviation (TF) still have 12 aircraft in active service. Stockholm City (BMA) is still a AVRO heaven. Not for long though, as aircraft will be replaced by ATR-72 in the fall of 2020

Re: SAS moving LAX route from ARN to CPH

Well, Norwegian decided to "take a break" on offering CPH-LAX this winter. That opens up for more PAX. Last year, SK also moved their Hong Kong flights from ARN to CPH. Sure, the Swedish tax and poor value of the SEK might be considered, IMHO I think that CPH will capture more PAX than ARN.
