describe sas business class seat

SAS offers several business‑class seat designs across its fleet, ranging from narrow‑body A321LRs to wide‑body A350s and A330s, each tailored to the aircraft’s size and route profile.

Narrow‑body aircraft (A321LR, A321neo)

• The A321LR business class uses a staggered 2‑2 and 1‑1 configuration, with “throne” seats in odd‑numbered rows that provide both aisle and window access as well as extra side storage.
• These throne seats feature a small footwell, while seats in paired rows offer a slightly larger footwell when the adjacent seat is empty. 🔗
• All seats include USB‑A ports and AC outlets for charging, and the throne seats add a small storage unit beside the seat. 🔗
• The seat width is 22 inches and the seat reclines into a 77‑inch lie‑flat bed on the A321neo, matching the classic Thompson Aero Vantage design seen on the A321LR. 🔗
• Individual air nozzles are available on the A321LR seats, and SAS provides bedding that reviewers describe as “excellent”. 🔗
• A single lavatory at the front of the business‑class cabin on the A321LR can be a bottleneck for the 22‑passenger cabin, though low load factors mitigate the issue.🔗

Wide‑body aircraft (A350, A330)

• The A350 business class is equipped with 40 Thompson Aero Vantage XL seats arranged in a 1‑2‑1 layout, giving every passenger direct aisle access. 🔗
• Seats are 22 inches wide and convert into a 78‑inch lie‑flat bed, with a bi‑fold tray table, personal device holder, and a universal power outlet plus USB‑A charging port. 🔗
• Bedding includes a soft pillow and duvet from Dux, and reviewers note the cabin stays comfortably cool despite the lack of personal air vents.
• The A330 business class also uses a 1‑2‑1 configuration with flat‑bed seats, offering direct aisle access, a spacious lavatory, and an amenity kit stored in a laundry‑bag style pouch. 🔗
• Both aircraft provide storage compartments beside the seat, noise‑cancelling headphones, and seat controls that include options for flat‑bed or recline positions as well as firmness adjustments.🔗

Intra‑Europe regional (A320, A320neo)

• On the A320, SAS’s “new” business class retains the standard economy seat but adds a blocked middle seat, a curtain‑separated cabin front, and premium tableware for meals. 🔗
• The seat offers the same 30 inches of legroom as economy, but the guaranteed empty middle seat gives extra space and privacy on short‑haul flights. 🔗
• Priority ground treatment includes dedicated check‑in counters, boarding, and access to lounges at 35 European airports, enhancing the overall business‑class experience. 🔗
• The A320neo “Plus” product, marketed as premium economy, features a 3‑3 layout with USB‑A charging, a USB‑A charger next to the literature pocket, and a short‑haul service that includes a complimentary breakfast and Wi‑Fi for SAS Gold and Diamond members.🔗
