After a fun night before, it was time to head to ARN so I could get to Amsterdam. This time I had enough time and took the Arlanda Express which is super convenient.
I was taking the big checked bag so MsFlamingo only had to deal with a carry-on. Luckily flying Plus/Business had almost no wait.
With priority security I was through in less than 5-minutes and through the Duty Free shop.
Back into the ARN terminal I seem to be getting to know very well.
And straight to my Joe & The Juice for a rejuvenating juice to chase the hangover away.
Great spotting and ironically an SAS A330 and Swiss A321, both of which I'd end up flying a week or so later.
Also cool to see a Singapore 350 taxing for takeoff.
Then to check-out Pontus In The Air, a restaurant and American Express Platinum and Centurion lounge within it.
Cool vibe with a casual burger place to the left and more formal wine restaurant to the right.
Amazing drinks selection for the restaurant.
Yes please!!!
Then into the tiny Amex lounge which was pretty crowded. Luckily I was able to get a table.
Despite it being early in the morning, I needed something salty and carby to get the hangover to go away before my afternoon meetings in Amsterdam. This cheesy tortellini and butter sauce was perfect!
Then back downstairs and to the gate just in time to start boarding.
Fairly organized and they asked for Plus pax to board first.
The BS economy seats, but even worse SAS doesn't block the middle.
At least a calming vibe with neutral wood.
Soon off for departure through the grey clouds.
Beautiful cloud formations.
That's amazing!
The snack box was an actual cube.
It opened up with a bread, turkey, beet cream cheese and grains. Overall it was tasty for a snack.
And some chocolates, but I saved them for later.
Soon enough we were on approach into AMS.
And descent over the farms.
Pulling in next to a cousin SAS A321.
Overall SAS Plus was fine, but I also got lucky and didn't have any neighbors, if it was 3-abreast, that'd be pretty crappy. With more flights coming up, I'll save my judgement comparing them to Swiss.
