Flight delay

I had a connected flight from Stavanger to Istanbul on 3 July 2026. SK4032 flight was supposed depart at 16:30 (local) but the plane took off at 20:45.There was a delay more than 4 hours. My connection point was Oslo and my connected flight, which was TK1754 at 18:50, was missed due to delay. SAS rescheduled my flight and rebooked TK1752 04 July 2026 at 10:55. If there were not a delay, I could have been in Istanbul on 3 July 2026 at 23:30. Instead, I arrived in Istanbul on 4 July 2026 at 15:45. Thus it took extra 16 hours to get there.

Our trans Atlantic flight from Copenhagen was delayed by 2hrs, then it was rescheduled, and then the rescheduled flight was canceled and we were rebooked for a flight 14hrs later than the original flight. We spent the day in the airport. Total travel time was 38hrs. Total travel time was supposed to be 14hrs. This meant meals needed to be purchased which was more expensive than anticipated or planned.

The first flight from LHR to OSL was delayed because the incoming plane took extremely long to arrive at the gate. As a result, I was rebooked for the second flight as OSL-MUC, MUC-FCO which resulted in a total delay of 6 hours to reach Rome. The airline did not provide any additional care, apart from rebooking my flight. As a result of the flight being modified, I missed a tour event I had scheduled in Rome to view the Coleseum, and had to skip it during my tour.

VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! I WISH I NEVER BOOKED WITH SAS, FIRST AND LAST TIME!

The company is not handling the trips potential cancelation to the Middle East in a good way. They just want to keep people's money for as long as possible, instead of refunding it! the customer service people are rude, dismissive and are not offering any solutions! They send an email saying flights are likely to be canceled, offer unreasonable reschdeduling dates, and refuse to refund. I would never ever book with SAS again; would not recommend it to anyone. you will be dealing with the worst customer service on earth.

I am a seasoned traveler and have been for more than 2 decades, I have gold for life and or have been gold on multiple Airlines for decades. SAS is the worst flight experience I have ever had. Unorganized, rude with a complete lack of focus. Avoid flying SAS at all costs.

Overall

  • close Women when boarding the plane [which was 1.5 hours late] was one of the rudest airport staff I have ever come across
  • closecheck I will never fly SAS again. It is disgusting to charge for a business class ticket and be so unorganized that bags are left behind because of ZERO communication

This company is a total disaster..

This company is a total disaster. We missed our connecting flight because of a huge delay, yet they still have the audacity to claim they're 'the most punctual airline.' I filed for reimbursement for hotel and taxi costs, and they promised it would be paid within 2-4 weeks. Well, it’s well past that deadline, and when I call customer service, all they do is keep telling me they ‘sent a message to the claims team.’ It’s like they don’t care about their customers at all. Don’t make the same mistake I did—avoid this airline. Pay a little more for an airline that actually knows how to handle things and treats its customers with respect.ter
