Newark is definitely my favorite airport in the area but terminal B does not have TSA precheck line. Going through security was very chaotic almost like JFK. Maybe next time I will try a different airline.

Purchase one of the memory foam pillows you will not regret it. They provide one for you but it’s fairly small. Try to keep your personal item small so that you have as much room as possible for your legs.

Old plane, food not that great - lacked taste. Crew was nice but strict.

Upon departing and landing, the man seating in front of me had his seat leaning back. Taking off nobody told him anything. Landing someone from the crew said something but the passenger ignored him and nobody followed up. Felt a bit unsecured. If this that is some of the basics are missed, what else was overlooked?

Flight was completely full January 9th? I problem i had the stewardess was bumping into me constantly walking by? very annoying.. on Austrian air I dint have this issue at all...

I have paid for extra legroom on my flight. My seat was broken and did not recline. The crew could not fix it and refused to provide me with another seat

The check in not ok! Demanding that we check our carry ons on check in! When there was plenty of available space inside the plane! And the staff at check- in was rude and not helpful and I was traveling with my autistic son and his service dog! Boarding was easy since we were priority boarding! The crew was ok expect from one guy flight attendant that was actually great!

The flight got canceled and you just send an email in the middle of the night and no solution to how to get on the next flight or provide other solutions.

You cost me my time and did not compensate properly. Gfy.

It was ok. Vegan meal was good, however no complimentary alcoholic beverages.

The food service was absolutely rubbish. Very arrogant crew. Does Scandinavian airlines think everyone eats meat??? I paid for my flight but could not eat anything because I am vegetarian!!! I was hungry for 7 hours . I demand for refund! This is absolutely unacceptable!!!! If you want more customers keep an open mind!!! Cater to all meal needs. I have flown many airlines and I never make a special request online never! They always have vegetarian options. SAS has no idea of customer service. Shitty service

Flight was canceled and the crew on the ground/front desk were I’ll equipped to handle. One woman was left to handle 150 passengers while her colleagues stood there saying: just 5 more minutes repeatedly.

I should have been credited for my flight. A day after booking I tried to cancel and the service is horrible. I will never use your service or Norse again. I will make sure to tell everyone I know about the experience.

The seats are nice in premium economy. The service was fine. No wifi on board and the entertainment selection wasn't the greatest. It was good for a budget friendly airline.

The overpriced dinner was pasta, bread and an awfully sweet dessert…. a feast of inexpensive carbs. She was the exception, but one flight attendant was incredibly rude. Cheap ticket though.

"I felt uncomfortable. It's well known that Norway is a racist country. As soon as they detected my accent, they were very rude."

When you book economy it says you can have a carry on bag, but when you check in all of a sudden the economy becomes 4 different types and you get charged extra, that’s not fare. Also there’s no option to check in online. Wouldn’t recommend

No online check in, so you and three hundred others are queuing at JFK at 5 check in counters. The employees are well organized and keep it moving, doing the best they can with an inefficient system. No blankets or pillows on the seven hour overnight flight and they kept the lights on for 2 hours for a flight that took off at 1am. Seemingly didn’t even have beverage service, and of course you have to pay for food (expected). The worst $1200 I’ve spent.

Very friendly flight attendants. The plane was very clean and the flight attendants very responsive to any request.

I payed for luggage but there was additional luggage charge this wasn’t clear when i purchased.

Crew was excellent, very friendly and professional. Seating was very tight…I’m not a tall person and my knees were touching the seat in front of me. A little bit more legroom would be great.

Chaotic check in. It took an extra hour to haul all across large LAX airport three different times back & fourth. Had no access to duty free shop.
