Copenhagen Airport Terminal 3
I arrived in Copenhagen Airport Terminal 3 around 6:50am for my 8:50am flight to Madrid. The SAS check-in desks are close to fast track near Burger King.
Fast Track
SAS Lounge
Today October 1, the two SAS lounges (SAS Gold and Business Lounge) are officially merged to become 1 lounge.
This is the first time that business class passengers without SAS/Skyteam status could use the lounge upstairs which was previously off limits to them.
The breakfast offering was the usual Scandinavian breakfast you´d find in hotels.

Sadly, the aircraft is not equipped with wifi system.
Push back & Take Off
Just before push back at 8:45am, Captain Matthias welcomed us onboard. 15 minutes later, we took off.
The new business class also meant having a curtain between the 2 cabins. The cabin chief came personally to welcome all the business class passengers on this premier flight 😉
Handcrafted apple juice
The lady seated at 4A had a sparkling wine for drinks 👍
There was no mention of what the main course was, but after tasting it, it appeared to be omelette with paprika sauce. It was actually very flavorful 😋 There was also a small portion of salad with blueberries, cheese and salami. Then there was the dessert. It was actually a very good meal so kudos to SAS for this 👍
More drinks were offered and I had a bottle of mineral water. The service from the crew (both the lady cabin chief and the guy with a cute moustache) was friendly throughout the flight.
The lavatory is located in front of the cabin.
We landed in Madrid Airport at 11:34am although it took awhile since it was already 11:50am by the time we reached the gate.
Separate Cabin
Dining
On this flight to Madrid, breakfast will be offered to business class passengers (meals are served on a tray), followed by coffee and tea.
To start the meal service, drinks were offered and I settled for a glass of apple juice.

Bread was also offered. Sadly it was not warm.

CONCLUSION
It was exciting to be one of those to experience the new SAS business class intra-Europe. Flying from Copenhagen is cool since they have the SAS lounge which will will also have the Flagship Lounge in 2027. The crew on this flight were friendly and did their best to make this flight special. The meal was very good and could compete with what others were offering in business class. The bread not being warm was a minor issue which I am sure will be resolved in the future. Overall, it was a great flight and was worth all the SAS points I redeemed for 👍
