Let's hope it is Autumn 2023.... this post states a little bit earlier: https://simpleflying.com/sas-last-boeing-737s-analysis/
"Furthermore, ch-aviation lists next month as the projected retirement date for five of the remaining 737-700s, although LN-RPJ is expected to last until 2025."

There will be a gradual ramp down for scheduled traffic on the 737s. Currently there are 5 tails flying (excluding RPJ that only does medivac). One is leaving in beginning of September, one more in beginning of October. The 3 remaining will all be gone by 28oct (S23). There will very likely be a farewell flight for the last scheduled 737 in SAS.

RESERVE YOUR SEAT ON SAS’ FIRST ELECTRIC FLIGHT 2028
May 31, 2023 14:01On 2 June at 12:00 CET. SAS opens seat reservations for its first-ever commercial electric flight in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. SAS invites travelers to join in writing this next chapter in aviation history with 30 seats available for reservation on each of the three inaugural flights – which are expected to take place during the course of 2028.
SAS' goal is net-zero emissions by 2050. An important part of achieving this goal is to develop and use technological innovations such as electric aircraft on shorter trips.
"Since its inception in 1946, SAS has been one of the pioneers in the airline industry, being for instance the first commercial airline operator to fly over the North Pole to significantly shorten flight time between continents. A groundbreaking activity for which SAS received the Columbus Prize. The fact that we can now invite our passengers to the next major milestone in the future of aviation is a natural continuation of that pioneering spirit and a significant step on our journey towards more sustainable aviation," says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS.
The ticket price for the inaugural flight will be SEK/NOK/DKK 1946 – a tribute to the year when SAS first started flying. A start-up that also marks the beginning of SAS’ innovative nature, with then-founder Wallenberg stating that “moving from the old to the new is the only tradition worth preserving”.
Reservations can be made at flysas.com/electric starting 2 June at 12:00 CET.
Facts

Towards a more sustainable aviation
Being a driving force in a more sustainable aviation is our priority, and we are working actively to lower CO₂ emission and reduce climate impact. This includes supporting innovation and partnerships to find new solutions, making investments in new, more fuel-efficient aircraft, increasing production and use of more sustainable aviation fuels and many other enhancements to our inflight offerings and service.
To reduce our emissions and drive our environmental initiatives, we have short- and long-term climate actions and targets.
Significant sustainability milestones include:
2019: a partnership with Airbus to pave the way for large-scale use of low- and zero emission commercial aircraft.
2019: SAS cooperates with Heart Aerospace to drive the development of electric aircraft. Subsequently, in September 2022, we signed a letter of support concerning their new electric ES-30 to our regional fleet.

I wouldn't read too much into it at this point, often it's just the so-called core routes that are loaded at such an early interval.

Better late than never And just in time for the busy summer season, though how much the Naviair debacle is going to effect ops at CPH remains to be seen.

It always takes ages to receive the luggage. the other week, I exited a Qatar flight arriving at approximately 2pm (operated by Finnair) and despite a pretty long delay at immigration, I waited 20 minutes for my luggage. Thats not meeting expectations (and CPH wasn't busy).
Another thing to note, the 'Eventyr lounge' must have Europe's worst wine selection, only serving Bigfoot wines.
CPH Immigration was weird, I don't have an EU passport hence I stood in the non EU passport queue. There was about 40 people that had come off an earlier EK flight. A few didnt speak Danish and/or English and this led to a halt. Security stepped in and assisted by asking whether anyone fluent in Urdu or Vietnamese could help translate (several Viets immediately volunteered and the Viet passengers started moving through immigration, however non of the Pakistanis queuing wanted to assist and it led to a complete halt in the line - pretty strange - eventually all Pakistanis were directed to two agents and kept there while the rest of us used the other agents and things went smooth. Danish immigration is friendly and definitely not difficult to deal with, to the contrary, so I found the experience odd and i wonder why the Pakistanis didn't volunteer to help (note they asked for Urdu speakers not local languages).

AAR wrote:AAL - EWR should have been BLL - EWR ... BLL is the answer quite simply - just under 600,000 live in the North Jutland region. There are 1.3 million people living in the Central Jutland region and 1.4 million in the South Jutland region - BLL had given a different starting point. But SAS has decided that BLL is an odd airport despite many of their alliance partners from Star - Lufthansa, Brussels, Austrian, Swiss, LOT have a connection to BLL and could thus use BLL as relief or in case of unforeseen problems with flights in NYC.. SAS does not want BLL - even though it would have been the right solution
Mini1000 wrote:I agree. It would have given SAS access to the combined Aarhus, Esbjerg, Vejle, Horsens, Kolding, Herning, LEGOLAND + (a big chunk of) Odense markets, likely enough to fill an A321 to profitability in the high season. Instead, they've nearly pulled out from Denmark's second largest airport, practically giving it away to KLM and the Lufthansa group.
I don't know if it's snobbery or what, because the yields must be there. KLM fills up to 5 BLL-bound planes a day to capacity, and so does LH to FRA and MUC - not to mention AF, LO, and BA (this one admittedly less so than pre-pandemic, but still).
