Scandinavian Airlines Commercial

The new SAS commercial "Så godt som hjemme" starring Uffe Ellemann-Jensen, a former Danish Secretary of State. Heavily inspired by Lost in Translation, but beautiful nontheless.
This ad is obviously targeted at Scandinavians travelling on business. Most Scandinavians who have been abroad will recognize the moment at the end of the video when the business man sees the SAS aircraft and the feeling of "Så godt som hjemme", meaning something like "Nearly home".

@AllanokayPedersen Denmark dont have presidents, we have prime ministers and deputy prime ministers.

Uffe Ellemann was foreign minister, not deputy prime minister.

Passagiere der skandinavischen Fluglinie SAS werden künftig keine andere Wahl haben, als an Bord halal oder gar nichts zu essen. Der Geschäftsführer der Schweizer Firma Gate Gourmet, die für die SAS-Menüs verantwortlich ist, hat nämlich ausgerechnet, es wäre billiger, allen Fluggästen halal zu servieren, als verschiedene Menüs anzubieten. Das bedeutet nun also Tierquälermenues für alle.

I saw some commercial and the wbsite of this AIRLINES (SAS) and they incentive GLBT events and also some commercial are very immoral. Thats why the company has been failing , BAD IMAGEM FOR THE WORLD.

@m1r3o they have many old MD80 and they used their DC9 and DC8 longer than many other carriers...and todays catering and service is on a low level compared to what it was in the 1980S or even 1970S....SAS in the 1970S was a global airline, from Rio to Manila to Calcutta and on to Nairobi/Joburg. Today they feed Lufthansa and other partners.

@SergioFormoso forget that, SAS will feed the passangers going to LIS,CAI,LAX,DEL and HKG to Lufthansa/Swiss/THAI....and probably soon diseapear itself.

[am1966ath]

@sakusia because they started economizing and cutting routes/service/catering..and the competition, Ryanair/KLM/Lufthansa started eating up their base of clients..they became a dinosour and will probably vanish together with Sabena and Swissair.

@sevnson71 FAIL, "As good as home"

I ve flown SAS in the 80's from Athens, Greece a couple of times. I remember they were quite good,but i don't know the Scandinavians i've come across were not very friendly. I liked their old livery better. Can someone tell me why their not that good anymore?
