Scandinavian Airlines A350 Inaugural First Flight

Scandinavian Airlines recently launched a brand new airplane. The Scandinavian Airlines A350 represents some of the best the company has to offer. In this video, we'll explore the Copenhagen Airport, the Scandinavian Airlines A350 in Business Class and Economy, as well as all of the celebrations that accompanied the excitement surrounding the first day the Scandinavian Airlines A350 took to the skies.
As an aviation enthusiast, I'm not sure I enjoy anything quite as much as an inaugural flight and to have the chance to be one of the first to fly on Scandinavian Airlines' A350 was even more special since I had almost no experience with Scandinavian Airlines before this.

The A350 is such an awesome plane! I really liked how you showed the Economy cabin too.

[@Saltytide2424]

I’m happy Airbus made the A350 instead of making the A330-900 NEO their flagship. The A350 really is a modern aircraft.

[@AKMaxFlightsTravel]

Yes, the A350 just "looks the part" so much

[@ablair37]

a330neo is for airlines to save money if you have a330 in your fleets then no extra training is needed saving 100,000's possibly millions over training for a new a350 but im intrested which is more fule efficent

[@ku-1500]

A330neo is intended to be the replacement of A330s with less re-training cost, while A350 is designed to replace long-haul A340s and older 777-200ERs.

[@RRUser2003]

Li Joseph I think A330 Neo is what original A350 should been... A350 XWB is completly new and old ”og” A350 is renamed to A330 Neo

[@brianaviation3072]

but the 330 neo is also a beautiful aircraft

[@campbellaviation7357]

I’m only 11, so I don’t have the money, but man you are lucky. I some reason want to fly on delta’s 777-200LR, delta somehow became my favorite airline after I found out they had more entertainment on the TV’s on the 767-300ER, which, was more than the American a330-300 I flew on, and some other plane, which I never found I out what plane it was. I wasn’t into aviation back then.

[@fredrikpalmqvist3808]

Nice to meet you on board, greetings from 1H. You picked the "wrong" starter, the "Swedish Caviar" is something special and very rare, retail price is usually around 150$ per kg. The reindeer probably was nice as well though. Even though the first row is an odd seat there is plenty of room there with extra wide legroom at the bulkhead, only drawback was my lack of views of the wing and engine. Since I'm a beer guy, what did you think of the Ciel Blue blueberry beer? Saw you got the last bottle from the snack bar area short before last meal service. Since I was on the return flight as well I can assure the seat is good for sleeping as well, I slept 5h without waking up even though there were a full meal service going on :)

[@elsajo]

Kalix löjrom starts at 350 dollars per Kg, but if you want better quality its around 1000usd per kilo! :)

[@fredrikpalmqvist3808]

This reminds me of my 5 hour flight on Singapore Airlines's A350 business class, actually super similar seating. I was tired as hell flying economy for the first segment overnight so I couldn't fully appreciate the second business leg, but I remember it was actually nice to sleep in unlike many other business classes on other airlines.

Just saw this video. Sorry for my late reply. I first flew on SAS in 1956. From Boston to Copenhagen. Yup. Before jets. On a DC-7. A DC-7!. How many people have flown across the Atlantic on a prop plane? I was just a kid, but I remember sleeping on a fold-down cot for part of the flight. And being treated to a "spa" experience once we landed in Copenhagen. Amazing experience that I still vividly remember.

[@yulaviation3868]

Hey Jeb, great video! I’ve been to the Faroes with Atlantic - highly recommended! And they use helicopters over there like taxis between the islands - heavily subsidised so super cheap! Some kids go to SCHOOL by helicopter. So, HIGHLY recommend it, especially Mykines island - like nowhere else on the planet!

[@marcbolling1002]

First I want to thank you for your amazing videos. You have a very pleasant narrating voice. I felt though you didn't explore SAS's fabulous inflight catering. The new Bar program with artisan cocktails prepared by a famous Bar in Stockholm, bottled and then served onboard in beautiful glassware by Orrefors. All the liquor onboard is by Scandinavian producers. Have you ever tried gin from Norway, or whiskey from Sweden? The huge beer selection by Danish Mikkeller is produced especially for the airline. SAS always serves Swedish Caviar onboard. A delicacy almost on par with Russian Caviar in my humble opinion. SAS has also mastered the art of reheating fish onboard. A hard task to pull off. In fact, frequent travelers lovingly call SAS for: Salmon Always Salmon! Their wonderful cheese and dessert cart was also missing from your review. Keep up the good work Mr. Brooks!

*OK, just for the record, I used to commute to work by air, and I am JEALOUS!* *I was flying in the late 70s through late 80s - MD80/L1011 days. Over a million air miles in 1985, and again in 1987, and every one of those miles was in business or first class, yet my knees were always up against the seat in front of me (unless I could snag the very first row), and after 1986 or so, the "food" consisted of either peanuts or microwaved shoe leather (flights over 4 hours). Just **_seeing_** this has me in a jealous rage!*
