Introduction: A330-300 Trip On SAS + Brussels Airlines

As I depart for Hong Kong, I’ll share a recent trip report this week of a short journey to Denmark to fly on SAS and Brussels Airlines in business class, both on the A330-300. Frankly, I was disappointed at how this trip turned out…but that’s the risk you take when redeeming miles and points.

A330-300 Trip To Copenhagen On SK + SN

I’ve recently reviewed the SAS Airbus A350-900 and A321LR in business class, but it has been several years since I reviewed the A330. Days after SAS switched from Star Alliance to SkyTeam, I flew from Newark to Copenhagen on the SAS A330 in business class. SAS is always solid.

For my flight home, I was hoping to fly on the new Lufthansa Allegris business class or the new Austrian Airlines business class on the 787-9. Sadly, neither opened…a sign of the times. I thought about British Airways First Class but that didn’t open. Finnair? No luck. Aer Lingus? No space. Iberia? Nothing.

So in the end, I booked Brussels Airlines from Copenhagen to New York via Brussels. While I was expecting this:

I got this ex-Eurowings aircraft instead…a big disappointment for a flagship route like BRU-JFK:

I flew United Airlines from Los Angeles to Chicago (I had to take care of something there), Spirit Airlines to Newark, and JetBlue from New York to LA. I’ll review the Spirit Airlines flight, but won’t review United or JetBlue.
